Winners will be announced at the 2007 American Music Awards ceremony, which will be broadcast live on ABC, Sunday, November 18 (8:00-11:00 pm ET/PT) from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in downtown Los Angeles. Larry Klein, producer of the 2007 American Music Awards, announced that Daughtry, Celine Dion, Fergie and Rihanna have confirmed to perform.

Initial nominees were selected by using ballots containing names compiled from data supplied by the music industry Trade publication, Radio & Records and Nielsen Soundscan, which tracks retail music sales. The ballots were then sent to a national sampling of more than 15,000 people based on what type of music they listen to, what they buy and how many albums they purchase per year. The sampling also took into account geographic location, age, sex and ethnic origin. The top three vote getters were determined to be the nominees for this year's American Music Awards.
