Английская Википедия:Country Music Association Award for Vocal Group of the Year
Шаблон:Infobox award The following list shows the recipients for the Country Music Association Award for Vocal Group of the Year.[1] The award is based on the musical performance of the group on solo country single or album release, as well as their overall contribution to country music during the eligibility period. For the purposes of the award, a group is defined as "as an act composed of three or more people, both of whom normally perform together and none of whom are known primarily as individual performing artists", though this was not always the case.[2] In 1970, a separate category was established for vocal duos.
The inaugural recipients were The Stoneman Family in 1967. The Statler Brothers hold the record for most wins in the category, with nine, while three-time recipients Alabama hold the record for most nominations, with twenty one. To date, The Judds and the Dixie Chicks are the only all-female groups to win the award. Zac Brown Band holds the record for most nominations without a win, with twelve. The current holders of the award are Old Dominion, who won at the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards in 2022.
