The Japan Record Award for the Best Album ("最優秀アルバム賞") is awarded annually, but was suspended in 2006, 2007, 2020, and 2021. The top honor for albums was named the Album Grand Prix Award ("アルバム大賞") until 2001, when it was replaced by the Best Album award ("ベストアルバム賞"), and underwent another Japanese name change in 2008.
