This year's award show will also shake things up by adding new categories including favorite trending song with nominees from TikTok on the year's most viral tunes, favorite gospel artist (for which Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is nominated) and favorite Latin duo or group.
AMA nominees are selected based on fan interactions with music (including streaming, album sales, song sales, radio airplay, social engagement) that are tracked by Billboard and its data partner MRC Data, according to the organization. Winners are determined by fan voting.
In response to controversial country star Morgan Wallen's two nominations, awards producer MRC Live & Alternative released a statement: "Wallen is a nominee this year based on charting. As his conduct does not align with our core values, we will not be including him on the show in any capacity (performing, presenting, accepting). We plan to evaluate his progress in doing meaningful work as an ally to the Black community and will consider his participation in future shows."
The AMAs are scheduled to take place live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles Sunday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and will stream the next day on Hulu.
