‘The American Music Awards’ is renowned for being the largest awards show determined by votes from fans all over the globe, thus making it a major event in the music industry.

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.

The event was colourful and full of excitement and was broadcast live on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. The American rapper and singer Jennifer Lopez served as the head of the show for the second time. 

Kendrick Lamar scored an unprecedented ten nominations, leading the rest, but Billie Eilish became the dominating star of the night, winning all seven categories she was nominated for, Artist of the Year being one of them. 

The night was crowned with special awards for Janet Jackson with the Icon Award and Rod Stewart with the Lifetime Achievement award echoing making it a memorable celebration for the greatest and rising stars of the music industry.
