American Music Awards

' American Music Awards '(AMA) is an Annual American Music Awards Show, Created by Dick Clark in 1973 for ABC.Unlike the Grammys, which are awarded on the basis of votes by members of the Recording Academy, the AMAs are determined by a poll of the public and music buyers.

From its inception in 1973 until 2003, the AMAs have been held in mid- to late-January, but were moved to November beginning in 2003 so as not to further compete with other major awards shows (such as the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards and allows for ABC to have a well-rated awards show.
