Drake, Beyonce and Swift also are in the running for artist of the year and received six nominations each. The nominations are based on performances on the Billboard music charts, streaming and album sales, radio play and social media engagement. Winners will be determined by fan votes and announced at the ceremony at Microsoft Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. Bad Bunny's other nods included favorite male pop artist, favorite music video and favorite touring artist. The singer set a record this year for the highest-grossing tour by a Latin artist in history. His album 'Un Verano Sin Ti' just topped the Billboard charts for a 13th week.

The performance in Newton–John's memory follows her death at age 73 in August from a years-long battle with breast cancer. The beloved British–Australian singer and actress had a lengthy association with the award show. She co-hosted the ceremony with Aretha Franklin and Glen Campbell in 1976, two years before her success in films spread to the US with her role in 1978's Grease. Newton–John was also presented with 10 AMAs during her lengthy career. Pink (real name: Alecia Moore) was previously announced as a performer at the AMAs, and her tribute number will be her second performance of the evening. The hitmaker is also scheduled to give her new single Never Gonna Not Dance Again its live performance debut. Lionel Richie will also be honored at the ceremony, where he is set to receive the Icon Award. Stevie Wonder will be leading the performance for his contemporary, while Charlie Puth and Ari Lennox will be joining the keyboard virtuoso for a medley of Richie's most popular material.

Bebe Rexha and David Guetta will be performing their hit I’m Good (Blue), while Dove Cameron will make her debut at the show with a performance of her song Boyfriend. The rapper GloRilla and Anitta will also be making their performance debuts at the show. The 2021 ceremony saw K-Pop icons BTS earn the most wins with three including top honor artist of the year as the most nominated singer Olivia Rodrigo earned new artist of the year.
