Who Decides The Winners?
The AMA winners are totally decided by the public. Nominees are determined by music industry sales and radio airplay. In the older days the winners were selected by a national poll of 20,000 music fans but for the last two years they have been decided by online voting. Voting online ended November 7, 2008.Background
The American Music Awards was established in 1973 by Dick Clark to compete with the Grammys. After the move of that year's show to Nashville, Tennessee, CBS picked up the Grammy telecasts from ABC which had broadcast its first two shows in 1971 and 1972. Winners are selected by a national poll of 20,000 music fans. Nominees are determined by music industry sales and radio airplay.-
