^Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.
^Hosted by the Hong Kong Asia Pacific International Group and Sunway Records, the Asian Pop Music Awards bases its winners on "Asian Pop Music Chart" which opened in September 2019.[8]
^The award was named "Girl Group Grand Award" in the 2019 ceremony, even though it wasn't a grand award, but just a regular award category, and this award ceremony isn't a major award ceremony as well, hence not recognised as an actual grand award won.
^This is not a major award show, and the award show was mainly for company officials rather than musical artists, hence this was a special award even though the name "Artist of the Year" was regarded as a grand award in several major award shows.
^ abcFormerly a grand award category, it has been demoted off its grand award category status to a regular award category since 2020.
