Contrary to other award ceremonies, the AMA winners are chosen through direct public participation. This reflects the popularity and commercial value of an artist’s work through sales, airplay, streaming, social media activity, and more.
Finally, after a two-year break, the 51st Annual American Music Awards were set to take place on May 26, 2025, and it will be held at the lavish Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
