History and background
editOriginally, Juara Lagu was introduced as a show that had a simple publication format that was easy to understand and follow for the audience. Anugerah Juara Lagu began in 1986 and has captivated many audiences over the years. Datuk Ahmad Merican who was then the Program Manager of TV3 was the pioneer of the Muzik Muzik show which started airing on Sunday, 2 March 1986 at 8.30 pm. From the songs nominated in the Musics that will be taken and screened to the next level.
In the early years of the Juara Lagu, final contestants were screened from the monthly champions. In the early stages of the organization, the public also made nominations and elections through local daily newspapers. Until 1991, each monthly champion was eligible to be screened for the finals. Beginning in 1992, the Juara Lagu format was changed by introducing categories with the aim of encouraging participation from genres such as traditional rhythms and ballads as rock genres were much dominant at that time.
Regular changes have been made to the format of the plan to the weekly chart system. Chart 20 is introduced as used by Music Music now. This chart format gives the opportunity for new songs to enter the chart on a weekly basis. The songs that are successfully screened will be taken to the semi-finals to select 12 songs that will be competed to the finals to be crowned as the "Juara Lagu".
In 2009, competitions by category were abolished due to a critical lack of entries from traditional rhythmic songs and creative ethnicities.
Anugerah Juara Lagu are held either at the end of the year or at the beginning of the following year. The location of AJL, which is a venue for artists and composers to compete for talent, was once held at the San Choo Hall at Wisma MCA, Angkasapuri RTM Auditorium, Sri Pentas Dua, Shah Alam City Hall, Merdeka Hall, PWTC, Malawati Stadium Shah Alam, Axiata Arena and Putra Stadium Bukit Jalil .
Juara Lagu has also invited local and international professional judges, especially from the Malay region such as Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan to judge the finals. The evaluation focuses on the melodies, lyrics and performances of the artist.

Judging
editThe competition started from the weekly popular voting stage in the Muzik Muzik program where voting was made by the audience through newspaper forms (1986–2002) and online voting (2003–present). The accumulated scores will determine the 30 songs that will compete in the Semi Final commemorations. At this stage the songs that will advance to the finals will be judged by a professional jury appointed from the composer and music director.
Anugerah Juara Lagu uses a professional judging method where a group of music artists from various backgrounds are gathered to evaluate the quality of the song that advanced to the finals to be crowned the champion song, runner-up, third place and category champion (1992–2008). On awards night, the scoring of the vocal performance and the stage performance will be combined to determine the championship. Vocal scoring is 100% in the hands of the jury, while the stage performance is determined either through fan votes (press, telephone, SMS, online) or combined/determined by a professional jury.

editWhen first organized in 1986, AJL competed in open categories for all song genres. However, from the 7th AJL (1992) to the 23rd AJL (2008), the organizers opened three categories arranged according to song genre. The categories are ballads, pop rock and creative ethnic Malaysian rhythms.

Double wins and entries
edit- If according to the open competition format, only Francissca Peter and Manan Ngah have ever won two main places in one ceremony, namely the Champion and Runner -up in the first AJL (1986). Ezra Kong managed to repeat the success of Manan Ngah when he won two main places in one ceremony, namely Champion with Loca B & Noki and Third Place with Hael Husaini in AJL 35 (2020) as composer and lyricist. Meanwhile, according to the category competition format, M. Nasir has twice won two of the three genre categories respectively in 1994 (Pop Rock & Malaysian Rhythm) and 1997 (Malaysian Rhythm & as lyricist for the Pop Rock category) as well as singer Siti Nurhaliza also twice in 1999 and 2000 (Malaysian Rhythm & Ballad).
- The only similar result for the Anugerah Juara Lagu and Music Industry Award for the overall Best Song category was through the song " Jerat Percintaan" sung by Siti Nurhaliza (Dato ') in 1996. While the song " Awan Nano " sung by Hafiz was the only one winner of Song Champion and also Best Song of the Anugerah Planet Muzik (APM) in 2013.
- The "Gila" victory made Kaka Azraff, Noki and Loca B the first trio singers to win the AJL.
- M. Nasir became the first composer to win the AJL four times with three songs sung by himself, namely through the song "Tanya Sama Itu Hud Hud" (1994), "Ghazal Untuk Rabiah" (1997), "Andalusia" (1999) and other singer's songs namely "Awan Nano" (2011) sung by Hafiz.
- Four artists have won the Juara Lagu as composer, lyricist and singer, namely M. Nasir for the song "Tanya Sama Itu Hud Hud" in 1994, Yasin for the song "Mimpi Laila" in 2001, Ana Raffali for the song "Tolong Ingatkan Aku" in 2010 and Yuna with the song "Terukir di Bintang" in 2012 . However, Yuna only sang the song herself in the semi-finals of Juara Lagu while during the final of AJL 27, Aizat Amdan replaced her because Yuna was tied to the album recording commitment in the United States.
- Ana Raffali was the first female composer to win a major award in 2010 (Tolong Ingatkan Aku), while Habsah Hassan was the first female lyricist to win the award in 1987 (Menaruh Harapan).
- Misha Omar was the first singer to win a major award for her debut song. The song Bunga-bunga Cinta which was recorded in 2002 was Misha's first recorded song and won the AJL in 2003. While the song Jerat Percintaan sung by Siti Nurhaliza was not the first song that he recorded even though it was taken from the singer's debut album.
- Hael Husaini is the first singer to win major awards for two consecutive editions through Jampi (AJL32) and Haram (with Dayang Nurfaizah) (AJL33). The win also made him and Ezra Kong the first composer and lyricist to top the AJL major award for two consecutive years.
- Until 2008 when the following year, the category participation was dissolved, only Siti Nurhaliza and Dayang Nurfaizah had participated in AJL in all categories. Siti participated in all alternate categories since 1998 while Dayang participated in the Pop Rock category in 2001 besides winning the Ballad category that year.

She is also the most frequently qualified artist to AJL (after Rohana Jalil) from 1996 to 2003 and even Siti Nurhaliza topped the record by qualifying for AJL for 8 consecutive years.

- Singers of bumiptera descent other than the Malay tribe who have participated in this competition are Rich (2007, 2008), Stacy (2008–2010, 2012 - 2013 and 2014), Jimmy Palikat (2012) (Kadazan-Dusun) and Lina Kamsan (1993) (Javanese). Only Francissca Peter (1986–1988) of Serani descent was the AJL champion in 1986.
- Aubrey Suwito became the first non-Bumiputera composer to win the AJL main award in 2005 for his song "Gemilang", he is Indonesian Peranakan Chinese descent. Meanwhile, Pete Teo through the song "Pergi" in 2009 became the first composer of Chinese descent to win the AJL.
- Endang Es Taurina and Rio Febrian, are two Indonesian singers who have competed in the finals of the Juara Lagu. Endang through the song "Sangkar Emas" created by A. Ali and Lukhman S. in 1990 while Rio did not perform (represented by Lah Ahmad) when selected through the song "Ceritera Cinta" in 2007. While Glenn Fredly had advanced to the semi-finals the end of the Ballad in 2000 through the song "Dengarkanlah" (duet with Amy Mastura) created by Helen Yap, but lost.
- Adi Priyo, vocalist and composer for the group 6ixth Sense, had competed in the semi-finals with 4 songs, but failed to advance to all of them. The songs are "Tanpa" (AJL 23), "Khatimah Cinta" (AJL 25), "Menyesal" and "Cinta Matiku" (AJL 26). However, through his participation as a composer, Adi's song titled "Kisah Hati" sung by Alyah made it to the 26th AJL (also won the Best Performance award).
- M. Nasir started competing in the Anugerah Juara Lagu in 1990 with the song "Mustika". Prior to that, many of M. Nasir's songs sung in groups or solo could not compete due to his Singapore citizenship status . Some of his works with Malaysian artists such as Rahim Maarof, Kumpulan Search and Nasir Jani could not be competed even though they were quite popular at the time.
- The song "Puteri Ledang" sung by Lina Kamsan in 1993 was sung entirely in Javanese. While the song "Andalusia" by M. Nasir in 1999, "Mimpi Laila" Yasin Sulaiman in 2001, "Wassini" sung by Waheeda in 2003, and the song "Taat" sung by Rohana Jalil in 2005 are a mixture of Malay and Arabic songs. "Andalusia" and "Mimpi Laila" won the AJL Overall Champion while "Wassini" won the Malaysian Rhythm/Creative Ethnic Category Champion.
Performance by a substitute singer
edit- The performance of the song is not necessarily sung by the original singer in the finals of the Juara Lagu. If the original singer can't sing it, the songwriter has to find a replacement if he doesn't want to withdraw. Interestingly, there were substitutes who managed to win any category and in 2012, Aizat Amdan who replaced Yuna Zarai through the song "Terukir Di Bintang" became the first substitute singer to win the AJL main award.
- Some of the songs that qualified for the AJL finals but were not sung by the original singer are:

- The duet song may be sung by the same singer for one of the duet couples, but when the Juara Lagu, one of the couples who sings it is an alternate singer:
- 2006 – "Hantaran Hati" - Original singers Bob & Rosiah Chik - however due to the death of Rosiah Chik, her duet partner was replaced by Aspalela Abdullah.
- 2007 – "Ceritera Cinta" - Original singer Jaclyn Victor & Rio Febrian - This song was originally sung by Jaclyn Victor with Indonesian singer Rio Febrian. However, Rio was not present to perform and was replaced by Lah Ahmad. The combination of Jaclyn and Lah won Best Vocal, making Lah the first replacement singer to win Best Vocal.
- 2008 – "Doa Dalam Lagu" - Original singers Mawi & Heliza - Mawi was unable to join AJL for some reason.
- 2012 – "Teman Pengganti" - Original singer Black Hanifah & Malique - This song saw the singer Black Hanafiah not perform with original rapper Malique Ibrahim who is also the composer, instead being replaced by new rapper, RJ. The combination of Black Hanafiah and RJ won Best Performance, making RJ the first replacement singer to win the category.
- 2014 – "RomanCinta" - This song, the song of the Mojo Band was originally sung by its vocalist Aweera. However, Aweera has left the Mojo group and sheltered under another recording company causing Edry Abdul Halim to have to find a new vocalist to replace him. However, after a dispute arose with the original singer, Mojo chose to perform instead being represented by a group of street musicians with disability status (OKU), Caliph Buskers whom he met at Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman a few weeks before the competition. Caliph Buskers won Best Performance for the song.
- 2016 – "Setia" - Original singers Elizabeth Tan & Faizal Tahir - Elizabeth Tan still competed in the Juara Lagu, but her duet partner was replaced by Awi Rafael.

- The song "Rayuanku" sung by Rohana Jalil was actually created especially for Zaiton Sameon . In fact, all the songs in the album Rayuanku were indeed created by A. Ali for Zaiton Sameon . Earlier, in the first edition of Juara Lagu, Rohana performed through the song "Cinta Yang Terbiar" representing singer Jamal Abdillah and won the third consolation place for Best Performance as well as becoming the first substitute singer to win any side prize at AJL.
- The song "Terukir Di Bintang" was the only song sung by the replacement singer to win the first place in AJL. The song was supposed to be sung by Yuna but due to the discrepancy of Yuna's recording schedule in the United States, Yuna has suggested that the song be handed over to Uji Rashid . However, at the last minute, TV3 decided to give the responsibility to Aizat .
- Songs sung by singers who are different from the original singers in a group have also competed in Song Champions, for example Ekamatra who participated in 1990, through the song "Sentuhan Kecundang" and "Pusara Di Lebuhraya".
Intermission Performance
edit- Aznil Nawawi with a group called "The Gambit" once brought back the memory of AJL in the 10th AJL intermission show by showing how he ruined the performance of the best AJL songs. Among them is from the show "Janji Manismu". Aznil snatched the bag from "Aishah" and took things out of the bag and the things were kitchen items like pans, stone mortars and grinders!
- There are six intermission performances that advance to next year's Juara Lagu:
- "Siti Payung" - Liza Aziz (1992): 1991 interlude (themed Malaysian Rhythm)
- "Dir" - Rahim Maarof (1993): interlude 1992 (in commemoration of the passing of the late Sudirman)
- "Gaia" - Zainal Abidin (2005): interlude 2004 (in conjunction with the theme of the Symphony of a Million Worlds)
- "Drama King" - Meet Uncle Hussein & Black (2010): 2009 interlude (in conjunction with representing the independent music revolution)
- "Bangun" - Aman RA (2019): 2018 interlude (in conjunction with representing the hip hop music revolution)
- "Eh" - Zizi Kirana (2020): opening 2019 (performed by another artist in conjunction with representing the creation of D. Navindran (composer))
- Aishah's performance always showed a difference every time she participated. The first time was the song "Janji Manismu" with the prop of a bag featuring Aishah wanting to go far. Secondly, for the song "Cinta Beralih Arah", Aishah danced with a " phantom " after her love was cheated on while "Kasihnya Balqis", Aishah brought her two sons while talking about Balqis before bedtime.
- Prior to 1990, all solo female artists who sang ballads sang the song solo without " props ". Aishah has led the show with props through the song "Janji Manismu" which she has used tables, lamps, pictures and large bags. Shima, on the other hand, became the first artist to be raised when performing through the song "Setelah Aku Kau Miliki" in 1991. After that, many singers have diversified their performances until now.
