History

"Kral TV Video Music Awards" were first awarded in 1995. Until the mid 2000s it is considered one of the most prestigious awards of music in Turkey. After the mid 2000s it lost its popularity.[1] In 2006 new categories announced such as Best poem or Best myth song for such attempt. But they were awarded one year only. In 2007 awards lost their prestige when news emerged about some of the winners changed in favor of some others.[2]

After Kral group has been sold to Doğuş Media Group in 2008, the awards have gone under some refreshments. In 2009, its name was changed to "Kral Music Awards" and 7th Mü-yap Music Awards, IFPI Turkish branch, were given together. Starting from 2009 award categories changed to be more work-based like songs or albums, in the past years awards were mostly artist-specific. Such that 10 awards were awarded for songs or albums in 2013 while only 5 were awarded to artists or groups, In 1995 this was 12 artist/group awards and only 3 song/album awards.

In 2013 the awards changed as "Turkey Music Awards".
