2025 American Music Awards Attract Largest Audience Since 2019


The 2025 American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, attracted its largest audience since 2019 and was the No. 1 broadcast of the night.

There were many changes with this year’s show — it was the first regular AMAs broadcast on CBS, the first to air on Memorial Day (or in the spring, in general), the first not to take place in the Los Angeles area and first since a time reduction from three to two hours. The 2025 American Music Awards ratings measures Live+SD Fast National Data including Out-of-Home Viewing and live streaming on Paramount+. The 2025 American Music Awards social accounts garnered over 100M video views within the first 24 hours across Instagram, Tiktok, X and Facebook, according to Listenfirst.
