GoldDerby
The 2022 American Music Awards nominations were announced on October 13. Like the Billboard Music Awards handed out earlier this year, these AMA contenders are based on fan interactions with music like record sales, streaming performance, and radio airplay. But unlike the BBMAs, winners are decided by fans voting online for their favorites effective immediately. Fan voting for all awards is now open via VoteAMAs.com and Twitter.
The world’s largest fan-voted award show will air live on ABC from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 20, at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. Bad Bunny leads with eight nominations, followed by Beyonce, Drake and Taylor Swift with six each. Close behind with five nominations are Adele, Harry Styles and The Weeknd.

The AMAs celebrate the year’s top achievements in music determined by the fans, for the fans. Last year’s show stands as the most social telecast of 2021 with 46.5 million interactions, emphasizing the role fans play in the annual event. The live event spectacular promises to deliver a vibrant night of nonstop music featuring memorable pop-culture moments, a powerful lineup including first-time collaborations and exclusive world premiere performances from music’s biggest names – from pop to rap, R&B to country, Latin to K-Pop – and more. The “2022 American Music Awards” marks the 50th show for the franchise, which was conceived by Dick Clark in 1974.
