The Grammy Award for Best Dance Pop Recording is an award presented by the Recording Academy to honor quality dance pop music performances in any given year. The award was presented for the first time at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in 2024, as a complement to the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording and the first new category honoring dance/electronic music since 2005. It was originally presented as Best Pop Dance Recording, but received its current name as of the 67th Annual Grammy Awards.
The academy announced the new category in June 2023, stating that the award goes to "tracks and singles that feature up-tempo, danceable music that follows a pop arrangement." Eligible pop dance recordings were also described as featuring "strong rhythmic beats, significant electronic-based instruments", and an emphasis on the "vocal performance, melody and hooks." Dance remixes are not eligible in this category and instead compete in the Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical category.
The award goes to the artist(s), producer(s), and mixer(s) of the song. Kylie Minogue and Charli XCX are the only acts so far to win in this category. David Guetta and Troye Sivan lead all performers with two nominations each, but they have yet to win in this category.
