BTS holds the record for the most Favorite Pop/Rock Duo or Group wins.
The American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Band, Duo or Group has been presented since 1974. BTS won it in 2020, 2021, and 2022, giving the group four victories overall and making it the category’s all-time leader. The group’s 2022 victory was its fourth consecutive win.
The category has changed slightly in name and format over the years, using labels such as Favorite Pop/Rock Band, Duo or Group and Favorite Pop Duo or Group. Those naming changes refer to the same broad AMA award lineage, so historical comparisons include earlier winners such as Aerosmith, Hall & Oates, and One Direction.
One easy trap is confusing total AMA wins with wins in this single category. Alabama holds the record for the most American Music Awards won by a group overall, while BTS leads this particular pop-group category. Maroon 5 has the most nominations in the category, not the most wins.
