Tonight - The American Music Awards airs on ABC, hosted by Jennifer Lopez. We will always remember Superstar Whitney Houston who has the most American Music Awards totaling 22 wins, with 38 nominations. Houston tied Michael Jackson on the record for the most AMA ever won in a single year with 8 awards. Also, she is the female artist with the most wins at AMA, and overall the third behind Michael Jackson (26) and Alabama (23). Scheduled to perform at tonight's ceremonies are The WeekND, Carrie Underwood, Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Walk The Moon, Celine Dion, One Direction, Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Coldplay and a host of others.
The Following is a list of four other artists who won BIG in one night.
Garth Brooks wasn't limited to country music. He crossed genres, becoming an international sensation. To date, he's won 17 American Music Awards, including Artist of the '90s. He was also the first recipient of the Favorite Artist of the Year award in 1996, which he humbly declined. Brooks felt that there were more deserving acts that year. Humble and talented.
There will never be another Michael Jackson. Like Houston, he holds the record for the most AMA wins in a night. In 1984, the year of Thriller, he walked away with eight trophies, including the Merit Award. Jackson was unbeatable. Overall, he won a total of 26 awards.
Janet Jackson, her résumé is nothing to sneeze at. Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty) has won 12 American Music Awards to date. She's been honored as a soul, R&B, dance and pop artist. And there's more where that came from. Jackson's still actively recording new music, releasing her latest #1 masterpiece 'Unbreakable'.
Taylor Swift is nipping at the veterans heels. While it took Janet Jackson more than a decade to rack up 12 AMAs, Swift's getting there in less than five. Since 2008, she's won a total of 10 American Music Awards. This year, there's room for growth as Swift's nominated for Favorite Country Female Artist.
