Anugerah Juara Lagu

Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL, Malay for "Champion of Songs Awards") is a popular annual music competition in Malaysia, organized by TV3 since 1986. It features the best musical and lyrical compositions of each year it is held. Nominees are derived from a list of mostly-Malay songs which have garnered the most public votes in Muzik Muzik throughout the year, and then progress into the semifinals, from which twelve songs — four songs from each of three categories (Pop/Rock, Balada, and Irama Malaysia - later known as Etnik Kreatif) will be nominated by a panel of judges to enter the Juara Lagu.

AJL honours the composers and lyricists of the songs rather than the performing artistes.
