The American Music Awards (AMAs) adalah salah satu
ajang penghargaan musik bergengsi di Amerika Serikat selain Grammy Awards.
Berbeda dengan Grammy Awards yang pemenangnya berdasarkan voting
sekitar 20.000 anggota NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences),
pemenang AMAs ditentukan oleh polling atau jajak pendapat masyarakat umum. AMAs diciptakan
oleh Dirk Clark pada tahun 1973 sedangkan malam penghargaan pertama AMAs
digelar pada tahun 1974. Selama penyelenggaran AMAs banyak terjadi perubahan.
Diantaranya adalah panyelenggara AMAs memberikan kategori baru yaitu Artist of the Year, New Artist of the Year dan
Single
of the Year. Untuk penyerahan piala yang biasanya dilaksanakan pertengahan
hingga akhir Januari namun sejak tahun 2004 diganti menjadi bulan November.
Pada penyelenggaraan The 42nd American Music Award tahun 2014 lalu, rapper asal Australia Iggy Azalea yang memimpin di depan dengan memborong enam nominasi, harus puas
dengan membawa pulang dua piala untuk kategori Favorite Artist -
Rap/Hip-Hop dan Favorite Album - Rap/Hip-Hop untuk album perdananya yang
bertajuk “The New Classic”. Katy Perry yang masuk lima nominasi cuma dapat tiga
piala. Ia menang untuk Single of the Year dengan "Dark Horse" yang berkolaborasi
dengan Juicy J., Favorite Artist Adult Contemporary, Favorite Female Artist - Pop/Rock. Boyband asal Inggris - Irlandia jebolan ajang pencarian bakat The X Factor, One Direction juga memboyong tiga piala dari tiga yang nominasikan di ajang American
Music Awards yang berlangsung di Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles Minggu malam
(23/11/2014). Tiga penghargaan sekaligus yang diraih oleh One Direction yaitu Artist of the Year, Favorite Band, Duo or
Group - Pop/Rock serta Favorite Album - Pop/Rock untuk album mereka
"Midnight Memories". Sedangkan Taylor Swift malam itu mendapatkan
satu gelar special. Yaitu, Dick Clark Award for Excellence yang merupakan
penghargaan istimewa dari pendiri AMAs, Dick Clark.
