The American Music Awards (AMAs) is an annual American music awards show produced by Dick Clark Productions since 1974.[1] Nominees are selected on commercial performance such as sales and airplay. Winners are determined by a poll of the public who vote through the AMAs website and social media.[2]

The event originally aired on ABC after the network’s contract to air the Grammy Awards expired. After the 2022 ceremony, when ABC’s rights to broadcast the ceremony expired, the American Music Awards were placed on a two-year hiatus. In March 2024, it was announced that the AMAs would move to CBS as part of a deal with its rights to broadcast the now DCP-owned Golden Globe Awards. The event remained on hiatus for 2024, with CBS airing a 50th anniversary special in October 6. The 2025 ceremony was held on May 26, and hosted by Jennifer Lopez.

Conception

The AMAs was created by Dick Clark in 1973, to compete with the Grammy Awards after ABC‘s contact to air the Grammys expired and moved to CBS (which would broadcast all Grammy Awards shows until 2026, when ABC reacquired the rights to broadcast the Grammys starting in 2027), with that year’s Grammys ceremony held in Nashville, Tennessee. In 2014, American network Telemundo acquired the rights to produce a Spanish-language version of the American Music Awards and launched the Latin American Music Awards in 2015.[3]

Nominations are selected based on commercial performance, such as sales and airplay. Winners have been determined by a poll of the public, who could vote through the AMAs website and social media, while nominations have remained based on sales, airplay, activity on social networks, and video viewing. Before 2010, nominations were based only on sales and airplay and nominated every work, even if old. The Grammys have nominations based on vote of the Academy and only nominate a work from their eligibility period that changes often.[4]

The award statuette is manufactured by New York firm Society Awards.[5]

History

The hosts for the first AMAs were Helen Reddy, Roger Miller, and Smokey Robinson. Reddy not only hosted the first show but also won the inaugural AMA for Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist.[6] For the first two decades, the AMAs had multiple hosts, each representing a genre of music. For instance, Glen Campbell, who co-hosted the AMAs five times, would host the country portion, while other artists would co-host to represent their genre. In recent years, however, there has been a single host.

In 1991, Keenen Ivory Wayans became the first Hollywood actor and comedian to host the AMAs.

The first two AMAs in 1974 and 1975 and the 1994 ceremony were held in February, but from 1976 to 1993 and 1995 through early 2003, the AMAs were held in mid- to late-January, but were moved to November (usually the Sunday before Thanksgiving) beginning in late 2003, in order to prevent the ceremony to further compete with other major awards shows (such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards) and allowed for ABC to have a well-rated awards show during November sweeps.

For the 2008 awards, Jimmy Kimmel hosted for his fifth year, tying with Glen Campbell for the most AMAs hosted or co-hosted. From 2009 to 2012, there was no host. Instead, the AMAs followed the Grammys’ lead in having various celebrities give introductions. However, the hosting portion would return after 2012, with rapper Pitbull hosting the ceremony in 2013 and 2014. Jennifer Lopez hosted in 2015 and 2025.[7] Gigi Hadid and Jay Pharoah hosted in 2016. Tracee Ellis Ross hosted in 2017 and 2018. Ciara hosted in 2019.[8]

Between 2012 and 2014, the American Music Awards used the lock screen wallpaper of Samsung Galaxy smartphones rather than envelopes to reveal winners, as part of a sponsorship by Samsung Electronics. A magnetic screen cover on each phone kept the wallpaper image with the winner’s name secret until opened.[9]

In August 2018, Dick Clark Productions announced a two-year sponsorship and content partnership with YouTube Music, which appeared to have only lasted for the 2018 ceremony, as there was no mention of it during the 2019 show.[10]

In March 2023, it was announced that the Billboard Music Awards, which are also produced by DCP via co-owned Billboard, had been moved from May to the November scheduling that was typically occupied by the American Music Awards, leading to speculation that the AMAs would be discontinued in order to focus on the Billboard Music Awards, or at the very least cancelled for 2023, so it could move to May in its place. It was reported that the broadcast rights for both events (which had been held by NBC and ABC respectively) would also be shopped; the Billboard Music Awards moved to an online-only format in November 2023.[11]

In March 2024, it was announced that CBS had acquired the rights to broadcast the AMAs under a deal of unspecified length. The rights were bundled with CBS’s five-year agreement to televise the Golden Globe Awards, whose telecast has historically been produced by DCP, and whose assets had been acquired by DCP in 2023.[12][13]

In August 2024, it was announced that the AMAs would return in May 2025. In place of a 2024 ceremony, DCP also announced that CBS would broadcast an American Music Awards 50th anniversary special on October 6, 2024, featuring performances and retrospectives paying tribute to its history and memorable moments.[14][15] Ratings for the special were up from the last ceremony aired on ABC, with an average of 6.1 million viewers.[16] In February 2025, it was announced that the 51st American Music Awards would be held on May 26, 2025.[16] In August 2025, CBS renewed its rights to broadcast the AMAs under a five-year agreement similar to that of the Golden Globe Awards; the ceremony will supplant the Grammy Awards on CBS’s lineup after its move to ABC in 2027.[17]
