The ARIA Music Award for Best Children's Album is an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognises "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres",[1] since 1987. It is handed out by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation whose aim is "to advance the interests of the Australian record industry."[2]
The Wiggles hold the record for both the most wins in this category (or any category) and the most nominations, with 15 wins from 31 nominations. They are also the only artist to receive two nominations in the same year, as both Go to Sleep Jeff! and Whoo Hoo! Wiggly Gremlins! were nominated in 2003. Franciscus Henri has the most nominations without a win with seven. Three artists have won in consecutive years; Peter Combe in 1988 and 1989, additionally contributing to the 0–9 Series of various artists albums which won in 1990, with fellow contributor Robyn Archer winning the following year; the Wiggles in 1995 and 1996 and again from 2005 to 2012; and Hi-5 from 2000 to 2004, with all five of their wins being consecutive. One won both their nominations; Bluey.
