Billboard Explains: The American Music Awards
The American Music Awards is considered the world’s largest fan-voted awards show, but it hasn’t always worked that way. After Dick Clark created the ABC broadcasted show in 1973, the show sought to distinguish itself from the peer-voted Grammys by focusing on what music fans bought and listened to. The exact way of measuring that popularity has evolved over the years. In recent years, nominations became based on key fan interactions as reflected on the Billboard charts, including streaming, album sales, song sales and radio airplay. These measurements are tracked by Billboard and its data partner MRC Data, and cover the time period Sept. 25, 2020, through Sept. 23, 2021. But how did the fans become responsible for picking the winners? And who gets to pick the performers for each show...
