1ConceptionTheAmerican Music Awards is one of four annual major US music awards show, created byDick Clarkin 1973 for ABC when the network's contract to present theGrammy Awards expired.

Differences between AMAs and Grammy AwardsWhile the Grammy Awards are awarded based on votes by members of the entertainment industry, the AMAs are determined by a poll of music buyers. The American Music Awards have nominations based on sales, airplay, activity on social networks, and video viewing and can nominate only the works released between 1 December of the previous year and 1 September of the current year.

vsFavourite artist of the yearIn 1996, the AMAs instituted a new award, Favorite Artist of the Year, which was awarded toGarth Brooks. Brooks left the award on the podium because he didn't believe in the concept of picking an artist of the year.The category was discontinued.
