Alabama has the most wins in the AMA Favorite Country Band/Duo/Group category.
The Alabama country group’s dominance stretches across several eras of the category. The award has been presented since 1974, and Alabama’s total is listed as 17 wins, the category record. The group’s run included repeated victories throughout the 1980s and 1990s, when Alabama was one of country music’s biggest touring and recording acts.
This category has changed slightly in presentation and eligibility over time, but it has consistently honored country groups, bands, or duos. That history explains why older winners such as the Statler Brothers and newer acts such as Dan + Shay appear in the same record table. Alabama is also frequently confused with Brooks & Dunn or Rascal Flatts, both of which have multiple wins but fewer than Alabama in this specific category.
