How to vote for American music 2022 Awards
You’ve probably heard that the American Music Awards are voted on entirely by fans, unlike the Grammy Awards, which are voted on strictly by members of the Recording Academy.
But how exactly do you vote in the AMAs, if you are so inclined?
Nominations for the 2022 AMAs were announced on Thursday (Oct. 13). Fan voting is now open in all but one of this year’s 37 categories. Voting in that category, favorite K-pop artist, will open on Nov. 1.
Let’s answer some questions you may have about voting and, while we’re at it, a few general questions about the AMAs.
There are two methods for AMAs fan voting – web voting and Twitter voting. To vote via the web, head to VoteAMAs.com.
To vote via Twitter, you must include the following in a tweet from a public Twitter account:
Artist Categories: Artist name, award category name and #AMAs
Song Categories: Song title, award category name and #AMAs
Album Categories: Album title, award category name and #AMAs
An example of a valid Twitter vote would be: I’m voting for Toni Braxton for artist of the year at the #AMAs!
Toni Braxton is nominated for artist of the year?!
No. I just didn’t think it would be right to use a current nominee as an example. Gotta keep this scrupulously fair.
Okay, now I’m curious. Who is nominated for artist of the year?
Adele, Bad Bunny, Beyoncé, Drake, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd.
That sounds about right.
Agreed, though Kendrick Lamar, Future, Lizzo, BTS and Ed Sheeran might think differently. There are always people who just miss the cut, even with an expanded seven slots. There were only five nominees in each of the last five years.
Any other rules I should know about?
Retweets of valid votes also count as a vote. You may only cast a vote for one category and one nominee per tweet.
How many times may you vote per day?
Up to 22 times per day, per category, per voting method.
So, this show really measures fan enthusiasm. The artist with the most hard-core fans is probably going to win.
That’s pretty much it.
When does voting close for award categories other than favorite K-pop artist?
