About American Music Awards in brief
The American Music Awards is an annual American music awards show, generally held in the fall. It was created by Dick Clark in 1973 for ABC when the network’s contract to air the Grammy Awards expired. Until the 2005 edition, both the winners and the nominations were selected by members of the music industry, based on commercial performance, such as sales and airplay. Since the 2006 edition, winners have been determined by a poll of the public and fans, who can vote through the AMAs website. The American Music Award Merit has been awarded to thirty two artists, the latest being Sting. The record for most American Music awards won is held by Taylor Swift, who has amassed thirty-two awards.
Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston hold the record for the most awards won in a single year, each with 8 awards to their credit. In August 2018, Dick Clark Productions announced a two-year sponsorship and content partnership with YouTube Music. The Song of the Year record holder accounts for all previous single category winners. The Favorite Artist – RapHip-Hop category record holder is Taylor Swift. The first hosts for the first telecast were Helen Reddy, Roger Miller, and Smokey Robinson. For the 2008 awards, Jimmy Kimmel hosted for the fourth consecutive year.
