What Are the American Music Awards About?

The 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs) return in spectacular fashion on May 26, 2025, celebrating the year’s most popular artists and music voted entirely by fans. This year marks the 51st AMAs, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable night filled with star-studded performances, first-time wins, and surprise announcements.

The AMAs were created by Dick Clark in 1973 to honor outstanding achievements in the music industry, based entirely on public voting. Unlike the Grammys, which are peer-voted, the AMAs reflect what fans love most. Artists are recognized across multiple genres including pop, country, hip-hop, R&B, Latin, and more. The AMAs are widely regarded as one of the biggest fan-driven award shows in the world.
