GRAMMY MUSEUM OPENS EXHIBITION IN HONOR OF LATIN SUPERSTAR CARLOS VIVES

*Spanish Version Below*

GRAMMY MUSEUM® AND BULOVA PRESENT DEEP HEART: ROOTS, ROCK & THE MUSIC OF CARLOS VIVES
 
EXHIBIT OPENS WITH AN INTIMATE PERFORMANCE & CONVERSATION WITH THE ICONIC GRAMMY®- AND LATIN GRAMMY-WINNING COLOMBIAN ARTIST
VIVES PERFORMED WITH TWO BANDS: 
FOLKLORIC AND ROCK TO ILLUSTRATE HIS FUSION OF HIS TWO CULTURES
 
LOS ANGELES, CAlif. (OCT. 26, 2017) — The GRAMMY Museum® L.A. LIVE and Bulova kicked off Latin Grammy week last night at the opening of DEEP HEART: Roots, Rock & The Music Of Carlos Vives, a new exhibit at the Grammy Museum. A sold out, “An Evening With” public program was hosted at the Clive Davis Theater at the museum and featured an intimate performance from Carlos and his band and Q&A hosted by David Fricke, senior writer at Rolling Stone and the host of “The Writer’s Block” on SiriusXM Radio.
During the 90 minute program, the two discussed the origins of the many rhythms pervasive in Carlos’ music and his mission to keep those historical sounds alive in contemporary music.  They discussed how the geographic areas of Colombia, most especially the Rio Grande del Magdelena, like the Mississippi, were the pathways through which regional and international sounds were transported from one part of the country and were combined and expressed in another; for instance jazz and cumbia. Carlos had 8 musicians on stage and the audiences went wild as they performed music to illustrate the conversation playing songs like 1998 Pa Mayte, 2004’s  El Rock de Mi Pueblo and others.
The new, one-of-a-kind exhibit is open until Fall 2018 and offers visitors an in-depth look at the iconic career of the two-time GRAMMY®-winning and 11-time Latin GRAMMY-winning Colombian singer/songwriter.   
On display through November 2018, the exhibit will feature, among other items:

“Carlos Vives has had an enormous impact on music both in Colombia and here in the United States,” said Scott Goldman, GRAMMY Museum Executive Director. “While his work as a singer, composer, actor, and entrepreneur has touched millions, his commitment to music education as part of his Rio Grande music school continues to inspire future generations of music creators. We hope this exhibit will be just as inspiring.”

“I feel very honored to be able to share the story of my musical history and its evolution throughout my 25-year artistic career,” said Vives. “Thank you to the GRAMMY Museum for this opportunity.”
About Carlos Vives
Born in Santa Marta, the third largest city of Colombia’s Caribbean region, singer, composer, actor, entrepreneur and Unicef Ambassador and USAID Inclusion Ambassador Carlos Vives is one of the most important artists in Latin America, and one of the biggest and most influential artists in music. In his 25-year career, Vives has created a new form of music combining rock with the Vallenato and ancient sounds of Colombia, and in the process sold 20 million albums, earned 11 Latin GRAMMY Awards, and two GRAMMY Awards. His most recent Latin GRAMMYs came in 2016 for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for “La Bicicleta,” a collaboration with GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY winner Shakira. In addition, in 2014 Vives received Billboard’s Spirit of Hope Award for his humanitarian work, and the BMI President’s Award for his career achievements. In 2015, the city of Los Angeles declared Oct. 23 to be “Carlos Vives Day,” and in 2017 Vives received an Honorary Master’s Degree from the prestigious Berklee School of Music.
Vives has strong ties to the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. He has made them central characters in his lyrics and music videos, has sung in their ancient language and has invited them to participate in his concerts. He has also spoken frequently about the great influence that the Afro-descendant culture has had on his music. He has worked to preserve, protect and promote these special and endangered communities and the environment in which they live.
Set for release on Nov. 10, his 18-track new album Vives features the worldwide smash hit “La Bicicleta” and his latest hit “Robarte Un Beso.” The album also includes a children’s song, “Monsieur Bigoté,” featuring the voices of Vives’ children, Elena and Pedro Vives, and the Rio Grande music school chorus. The album, which explores themes of love, peace, domestic abuse, and other important issues, also features special guests Thalía and up-and-coming artist Cynthia Montaño. The album name means “to live.” With the release of this album, Vives wanted to share that simple yet strong message to encourage people to live their lives to the fullest.

GRAMMY MUSEUM® Y BULOVA PRESENTAN
DEEP HEART: ROOTS, ROCK & THE MUSIC OF CARLOS VIVES
 
LA EXHIBICIÓN SE INAUGURÓ CON UNA PRESENTACIÓN Y ENTREVISTA CON CARLOS VIVES EN EL CLIVE DAVIS THEATER 
VIVES TOCÓ EN VIVO CON DOS BANDAS, UNA DE FOLCLOR COLOMBIANO Y OTRA DE ROCK PARA ILUSTRAR LA FUSIÓN DE LAS DOS CULTURAS
 
Los Angeles, CA (14 de noviembre de 2017) — El GRAMMY Museum® L.A. LIVE y Bulova presentaron en la noche de ayer DEEP HEART: Roots, Rock & The Music Of Carlos Vives, una nueva exhibición en el Grammy Museum. El programa “An Evening With”, que fue un éxito total con todos los boletos agotados, tuvo lugar en el Clive Davis Theater, donde Carlos hizo una actuación íntima y un Q&A presentado por David Fricke, escritor de Rolling Stone y presentador del programa “The Writer’s Block” en SiriusXM Radio. El nuevo álbum de Carlos Vives, “VIVES”, salió a la venta el pasado viernes y está disponible en todas las plataformas musicales. 
En el programa de 90 minutos de duración, Carlos y David estuvieron hablando de los orígenes de los varios ritmos dominantes en la música de Carlos y su misión para mantener esos sonidos históricos vivos en la música contemporánea. Comentaron cómo las diferentes áreas geográficas de Colombia, especialmente el Río Grande de la Magdalena y el Mississippi, eran las vías por las cuales los sonidos regionales e internacionales eran transportados de una parte a otra del país, y esto hizo que se combinaran y expresaran en otros ritmos; por ejemplo el jazz y la cumbia. Carlos contó con 8 músicos en el escenario y el público saltó de sus asientos mientras tocaban música para ilustrar la conversación, con canciones como Pa Mayte (1998), El Rock de Mi Pueblo (2004) y más.
 
La exhibición estará abierta hasta el otoño de 2018 y ofrece a sus visitantes un paseo en profundidad por la icónica carrera del colombiano, una de las más importantes figuras de la música en español. 
 
En exhibición hasta noviembre de 2018, la exposición contará con:
  • El vestuario que Carlos Vives llevó en su primera aparición en una gran telenovela, “Escalona”
  • El primer GRAMMY que Vives ganó en 2001 como Best Traditional Latin Album, gracias a su disco Déjame Entrar
  • El Latin GRAMMY que ganó en 2005 como Mejor Álbum Tropical Contemporáneo gracias a El Rock De Mi Pueblo
  • Decoración pintada a mano que se usó en el video musical de su hit internacional “La Bicicleta”, en colaboración con Shakira
  • Notas escritas a mano y letras de canciones que se usaron en la composición de su álbum Corazón Profundo, ganador del Latin GRAMMY en 2013
 
“Es un increíble honor poder rendir tributo a través de esta nueva exhibición a uno de los artistas más influyentes de la música latina y de la música colombiana”, comentó Nwaka Onwusa, comisaria de exposiciones del GRAMMY Museum. “Carlos Vives ha sido un colaborador fundamental a la hora de formar el nuevo sonido colombiano y de Latinoamérica. Estamos entusiasmados de compartir esta increíble historia con nuestro público”.
 
“Carlos Vives ha tenido una gran influencia en la música tanto en Colombia como aquí en Estados Unidos”, dijo Scott Goldman, Directora Ejecutiva del GRAMMY Museum. “Mientras su trabajo como cantante, compositor, actor y empresario ha tocado a millones de personas, su compromiso en la educación a través de su escuela de música Rio Grande continúa inspirando a futuras generaciones de artistas. Esperamos que esta exposición sirva también de inspiración.”
 
“Bulova está entusiasmado de trabajar junto con el GRAMMY Museum para promover una exhibición tan inspiradora y educativa de la mano de Carlos Vives, uno de los artistas latinos más influyentes de nuestro tiempo”, comenta Robert Christiano, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo de Marketing en Bulova.
 
“Me siento muy honrado de poder contar mi historia musical y su evolución en estos 25 años de carrera artística. Gracias a la academia y a su museo por la oportunidad”.
 
 
SOBRE CARLOS VIVES
Nacido en la ciudad caribeña de Santa Marta, la tercera más grande de la región caribeña de Colombia, el cantante, compositor, actor, empresario y embajador de USAID, Carlos Vives, es uno de los artistas más importantes de Latinoamérica y uno de los más influyentes en el panorama musical mundial. En sus 35 años de carrera, Vives ha creado un nuevo estilo de música al combinar rock con vallenato y también con los sonidos clásicos de Colombia, y en el proceso ha vendido 20 millones de álbumes, ha Ganado 11 Latin GRAMMYs y dos premios GRAMMY. Sus más recientes Latin GRAMMYs llegaron en 2016 (Canción del Año y Grabación del Año) gracias a su tema “La Bicicleta”, en colaboración con la ganadora de GRAMMY y Latin GRAMMY Shakira. Además, en 2014 Vives recibió el premio Billboard “Spirit of Hope Award” por su trabajo humanitario, y también el BMI President’s Award en honor a su trayectoria profesional.

Vives está fuertemente vinculado a la población indígena de Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Ha convertido a sus gentes en personajes principales de sus letras y vídeos musicales, ha cantado en su lengua tradicional y los ha invitado a participar en sus conciertos. Vives también ha expresado frecuentemente la gran influencia que la cultura de descendencia Afro ha tenido en su música. Ha trabajado para proteger, preservar y promover estas comunidades, que se encuentran en peligro, así como el medio ambiente en el que viven.

Florida Georgia Line’s Platinum-certified musical evolution, Dig Your Roots, propelled the history-making duo to No.1 on the all-genre Billboard Artist 100 and Top Country Albums charts. Continuing the epic momentum, the album has delivered three consecutive No. 1 Country Airplay smashes – the 3X Platinum-certified lead single “H.O.L.Y.” [also No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart for 18 straight weeks] and Platinum-certified hits “May We All” (featuring Tim McGraw) and “God, Your Mama, And Me” (featuring Backstreet Boys [the latter FGL’s 11th Country Airplay No. 1]. Following a landmark Dig Your Roots Tour that broke attendance records and reached over one million featuring headline-grabbing guest appearances, Florida Georgia Line just wrapped The Smooth Tour 2017 – having played select sold-out stadium dates this summer with special guests Backstreet Boys.

Their previous BMLG Records releases – 2X Platinum debut Here’s To The Good Times and Platinum Anything Goes – have attributed to sales surpassing 30 million tracks and more than 4.2 million albums worldwide.

watt, the New York-born and Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer has lit a fire with every project he touches within the music industry. His debut solo EP, Ghost In My Head, earned critical acclaim from the likes of Guitar World and boasted drumming courtesy of Chad Smith [Red Hot Chili Peppers] and Joey Castillo [ex-Queens of the Stone Age, Danzig]. He has been tapped to perform and share the stage with everyone from Sting, Slash, Justin Bieber, The Roots, Taylor Hawkins, Chad Smith, Tommy Lee, One Republic, Martin Garrix, Jane’s Addiction, The Struts and more. Prior to the EP’s release, he worked as a producer, songwriter, and musical director for the likes of Justin Bieber & Skrillex, Kygo, DJ Snake, Marshmello, Steve Angello, SNBRN and more. In 2016, he co-wrote the highly successful song by DJ Snake featuring Justin Bieber “Let Me Love You,” and co-wrote & produced “Feeling Whitney” on Post Malone’s album Stoney. This year his songwriting and production has been featured all over 2017’s biggest hits including Kygo’s “It Ain’t Me” ft. Selena Gomez (co-wrote & produced),” Camilla Cabello’s “Havanna” ft. Young Thug (co-wrote), Avicii’s “Lonely Together ft. Rita Ora (co-wrote & production), Bebe Rexha’s “Comfortable” ft. Kranium as well as his own track “Burning Man” ft. Post Malone. watt has scored three top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits as a co-writer, all since late 2016: DJ Snake’s “Let Me Love You” (featuring Justin Bieber); “It Ain’t Me,” by Kygo and Selena Gomez; and Camila Cabello’s current hit, “Havana” (featuring Young Thug). He also co-produced the first two aforementioned songs. “Let Me Love You” and “It Ain’t Me” also each hit No. 2 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, while “Let Me Go,” his first charted song as a credited artist, has reached the top 10.
 
Multi-platinum, GRAMMY award-winning artist/DJ/producer Zedd made his debut with Clarity after signing with Interscope in 2012 and has been breaking down barriers surrounding music genres ever since. With his latest single, “Get Low” with Liam Payne, Zedd ventures into a more urban musical domain that Entertainment Weekly called a “sizzling summer jam.” Earlier this year, Zedd teamed up with Alessia Cara to record “Stay,” a track that veers into a new direction for both artists, and landed Zedd his first No. 1 on Billboard‘s Pop Songs airplay chart. Zedd also single-handedly organized WELCOME!, an ACLU fundraising concert with a lineup that spans the music spectrum.  As an immigrant himself, born in Russia and raised in Germany, the concert was born out of Zedd’s desire to stand up for basic human rights and 100% of its profits benefitted the ACLU.  Throughout his career, Zedd has worked with a diverse range of artists, including Foxes on “Clarity,” which soared to No.2 on Pop Songs and has sold 2.6 million downloads in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music, and Hayley Williams on Platinum hit “Stay The Night,” which racked up more than 400 million streams. In 2015, Zedd released True Colors, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, No. 1 on the Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, and earned Zedd a 2016 Billboard Music Award for “Best Dance Album.” Its lead single “I Want You to Know” (ft. Selena Gomez) spent six weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and has been certified Platinum, while second single, “Beautiful Now” (feat. Jon Bellion), has been certified Gold. In 2016, Zedd teamed up with Aloe Blacc on “Candyman” to kick off M&M’s 75th anniversary celebration and released smash hit “Starving” featuring Hailee Steinfeld and Grey, which soared to the top five on Billboard‘s Pop Songs chart and amassed over 240 million plays on Spotify alone in just four months.
 
Award winning Canadian singer/songwriter and Def Jam Recordings artist Alessia Cara emerged onto the music scene in 2015 with the release of her iconic anthem “Here.” “Here” garnered over 500,000 total streams in its first week, going on to become Spotify’s Most Viral Song of 2015 selling over 3 million copies. A five-track EP, Four Pink Walls, soon followed before the release of the full-length certified platinum KNOW-IT-ALL.  Alessia lent her voice to “How Far I’ll Go,” the official song for Disney’s animated film Moana, penned by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Her multi-platinum No. 1 Billboard Pop Songs chart hit single, “Scars to Your Beautiful,” is Cara’s gut-wrenching take on female identity, on body image and on deleterious behaviors in the name of beauty. “Stay”, her No. 1 Pop Songs hit with Zedd has sold over 2 million copies and has been called the “song of the summer.” “1-800-273-8255,” her most recent smash with Logic was recently certified double-platinum, contributing to her 6 global smash hits and 4 billion streams worldwide.

Portugal. The Man took 2017 by the horns after a considerably long gap, especially for a band that has dropped roughly an album a year since 2006. They spent years working on an album called Doomin + Gloomin before later developing what would become known as their eighth studio album WOODSTOCK. Fate struck lead singer, John Gourley, twice. First, John got some parental tough love from his old man. “What’s taking so long to finish the album?,” John’s dad asked. “Isn’t that what bands do? Write songs and then put them out?” The whole thing got John thinking about why the band seemed to be stuck on a musical elliptical machine from hell and more importantly, about how to get off of it. Second, John found his dad’s ticket stub from the original 1969 Woodstock music festival, which ultimately knocked something loose in his head. He realized that, in the same tradition of bands from that era, Portugal. The Man needed to speak out about the world crumbling around them. With these two ideas converging, the band made a seemingly bat-shit-crazy decision: they took all of the work they had done for the three years prior and threw it out. The band went back to the studio – working with John Hill, Danger Mouse and longtime collaborator Casey Bates. In this new-found creative territory, the album that became WOODSTOCK rolled out naturally from there. Fast forward to present day and it was impossible to escape the album’s first single “Feel It Still,” which dominated the charts and radio airwaves for most of 2017. The platinum-certified hit reigned at #1 at multiple radio formats, including Top 40/Pop radio. Yes, you read that right. 5 guys from Wasilla, Alaska who have played nearly 1,500 shows in their career had a #1 song at pop radio. Billboard even went as far as to call the song, “the unexpected rock crossover hit of 2017.”
 
Singer/songwriter Bebe Rexha has accumulated over 10 million overall single sales, 3.25 billion total global streams and a radio audience of over 10 billion. She hit No. 1 on both the Billboard Pop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts with her Platinum-selling smash single “Me, Myself & I” with G-Eazy. Her single “No Broken Hearts” featuring Nicki Minaj has over 217 million YouTube/VEVO views to date, she is featured on Martin Garrix’s single “In The Name of Love” which already has over 200 million YouTube/VEVO views and “I Got You,” has garnered over 199 million YouTube/VEVO views. Bebe Rexha burst onto the scene in 2013 when she penned the song which became a worldwide hit for Eminem and Rihanna—“Monster” – which went RIAA quadruple-platinum stateside and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. She wrote and featured on Cash Cash’s “Take Me Home” and Pitbull’s “This Is Not A Drill” in addition to writing Tinashe’s “All Hands On Deck” and Selena Gomez’s “Champion.” Her 2015 debut EP, I Don’t Wanna Grow Up (Warner Bros. Records) boasts the singles “I Can’t Stop Drinking About You” and “I’m Gonna Show You Crazy,” which racked up over 52 million Spotify streams in only six months. That same year, she co-wrote and carried instantly recognizable hooks for the double-platinum “Hey Mama” by David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, and Afrojack which was nominated for a Billboard Music Award for Top Dance/Electronic Song, as well as the No. 7 Billboard Hot 100 smash “Me, Myself, & I” with G-Eazy. Bebe released her first two EPS, All Your Fault: Part 1 and All Your Fault: Part 2 this year to rave reviews.  In addition, she is also featured on Louis Tomlinson’s track, “Back to You,” off of his upcoming solo album. Her most recent single, “Meant To Be” with Florida Georgia Line, is currently climbing the charts and has amassed over 30M global streams to date.

Los Angeles, CA (November 10, 2017) – dick clark productions and ABC announced today that multi-platinum selling band, Imagine Dragons, and multi-platinum artist, Khalid, will collaborate for the first time ever on stage at the “2017 American Music Awards.” Additionally, platinum-selling solo artist, Niall Horan is set to perform. The “2017 American Music Awards,” the world’s largest fan-voted awards show where music enthusiasts watch their favorite artists and pop culture icons come together to honor idols, newcomers and record-breakers in the contemporary music scene, will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 19, 2017 at 8:00pm ET on ABC.
 
Imagine Dragons first performed at the American Music Awards in 2013, treating fans to their Billboard Hot 100 smash hits “Demons” and “Radioactive,” and returned again in 2014 for their television debut of their platinum selling single “I Bet My Life.” Best-known for crafting stadium-ready anthems, the band took home the award for Favorite Artist – Alternative Rock in both 2013 and 2014 and are nominated again for the same award this year, as well as for Favorite Duo or Group – Pop/Rock. Chart-topping newcomer, Khalid, has taken the music scene by storm this year, having only released his first album, American Teen, in March. His freshman album hit No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart, launching the smash Billboard Hot 100 single “Location,” which is nominated this year for Favorite Song – Soul/R&B. Gracing the stage for his second American Music Awards performance as a solo artist, Niall Horan will treat fans to his funk-pop track “Slow Hands,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Songs airplay chart and is the second single from Horan’s debut solo album Flicker, which bowed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Horan is nominated for his first American Music Award as a solo artist in the category of New Artist of the Year presented by T-Mobile.
 
Formed in 2009, Imagine Dragons first revealed their emotionally charged and inventive sensibilities with a series of independently released EPs that earned them a grassroots following. Signed to KIDinaKORNER/Interscope by hitmaking producer Alex Da Kid, the band greatly expanded their fanbase with the release of their multi-platinum breakthrough single “It’s Time” (featured on the 2012 EP Continued Silence). Since making their full-length debut with 2012’s multi-platinum Night Visions, Imagine Dragons have drawn worldwide adoration for their anthemic yet moody alt-rock. With their past hits also including “Radioactive” (a diamond-selling smash that won Best Rock Performance at the 2014 Grammy Awards), Imagine Dragons went on to see Smoke + Mirrors debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart upon its release in early 2015. On their third album Evolve, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart, the Grammy Award-winning band shift perspective and take on a brighter but more layered emotional outlook. The album has launched two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Alternative songs chart: “Believer” and “Thunder.” Both tracks also hit the top 10 of the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, making Imagine Dragons the only rock act to score two top 10 hits on the chart in 2017. On lead single “Believer,” Imagine Dragons wholly embody the emotional dynamic at the heart of Evolve. With its bold percussive vocals and hip-hop-inspired rhythms, the track offers a testament to gaining strength through adversity. In bringing “Believer” to life, Imagine Dragons joined forces with Swedish production duo Mattman & Robin and carved out a cleaner sound than they’d ever attempted before. In a departure from the largely self-produced Night Visions and its 2015 follow-up Smoke + Mirrors, Evolve finds the band working closely with Mattman & Robin and producers like Joel Little (best known for helming the production of Lorde’s Pure Heroine). Despite the minimalistic approach of Evolve, Imagine Dragons achieve a rich complexity partly informed by their taking time out to recharge. After much soul-searching during a year-long break from touring, the band arrived at a new mindset and ultimately brought a greater sense of openness to their music.
 
Khalid released “Location” before his high school graduation and it garnered over 1.52 million plays in less than two months, which led to his major label deal with Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records.  Khalid’s debut album, American Teen, has received mass critical acclaim with praise from The New York Times, TIME Magazine, Billboard, NYLON, and many more. Billboard stated, “…effortlessly excellent…the kid is still so young, but this body of work is beyond his years”.  Khalid has also performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Good Morning America, The Late Late Show With James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, The Today Show, and at this year’s SXSW where he won MTV’s Woodie To Watch Award. Additionally, Khalid embarked on his first-ever headlining tour in both the U.S. and select European cities where he sold-out every single date before the album was even released. In addition to his own headlining tours, Khalid has toured with the likes of Lorde and Travis Scott. He has also been featured on a number of collaborative songs including mega hits “1-800-273-8255” with Logic and Alessia Cara, and “Silence” with Marshmello. Khalid has over one billion streams worldwide across all partners, and he is one of two solo teenagers to reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200 in the last 12 months. This summer, Khalid was the face of Forever 21’s Summer Digital Campaign, #F21xMusic, Men’s Line, and was named MTV Push: Artist to Watch for the month of July. He was nominated for a 2017 BET Award for Best New Artist, a Teen Choice Award for Choice R&B/Hip-Hop Song for “Location”, he recently won Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, and he has been nominated for a 2017 American Music Award for Favorite Song – Soul/R&B for “Location”. He also recently landed on the cover of Billboard’s 2018 Grammy Preview issue. Khalid’s “Location” is officially certified Triple Platinum by the RIAA, and his latest single “Young Dumb & Broke” is now certified Platinum.
 
Niall Horan’s debut solo album, Flicker (Capitol Records), entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 and topped the iTunes Top Albums chart in 61 countries. Rolling Stone observed, “[It] unveils a never-before-seen personal side of Horan,” People selected it as one of its Picks of the Week and Entertainment Weekly declared Flicker a “must-listen.” Horan, who has sold over 70 million records as part of the all-conquering One Direction, collaborated with a small team of producers on Flicker, including Julian Bunetta, Jacquire King and Greg Kurstin. “This Town,” the Platinum-certified first single, has earned more than three million track equivalent units globally and combined streams now surpass 450 million worldwide. The follow-up single, “Slow Hands,” went straight to No. 1 in 44 countries and now has more than 820 million combined streams globally. It has been certified Platinum in the U.S. and New Zealand, 4X Platinum in Australia, 3X Platinum in Ireland and Canada and 2X Platinum in The Netherlands. “Slow Hands” reached No. 1 at Top 40 radio in the U.S. Flicker also includes Horan’s latest single, “Too Much To Ask,” and “Seeing Blind,” his duet with country superstar Maren Morris. Horan has been honored with numerous awards in 2017, including People’s Choice, Teen Choice, Radio Disney Music and iHeartRadio MMVA awards. His 2018 Flicker World Tour will see him performing to crowds in Europe, North America, South America and Australasia.
 
As previously announced, music legend, Diana Ross, will take the stage for a rare performance at the “2017 American Music Awards” and will be honored with the “American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement.” Christina Aguilera will pay tribute to Whitney Houston and music from “The Bodyguard” with a performance in honor of the film’s 25th anniversary, which falls on the same week as the awards ceremony.

The single is one of the fastest-rising hits in Demi’s career, having become her highest charting single ever on the Billboard Hot 100 and logging over 350 million global streams. Lovato last performed at the American Music Awards in 2015, where she sang her rock/pop track “Confident” as well as joined Alanis Morissette for a rendition of Morissette’s iconic hit “You Oughta Know.”
 
The “2017 American Music Awards,” the world’s largest fan-voted awards show where music enthusiasts watch their favorite artists and pop culture icons come together to honor idols, newcomers and record-breakers in the contemporary music scene, will celebrate 45 years of music live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, November 19, 2017 at 8:00pm ET on ABC.
 
Multiple GRAMMY-Award winner Kelly Clarkson recently released her eagerly anticipated eighth studio album Meaning of Life. Her first release with Atlantic Records, Meaning of Life is the album Clarkson was destined to make, a collection of smart and sensual soul-inspired pop that immediately belongs among the legendary label’s classic canon. The Texas-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter first came to fame in 2002 as the winner of American Idol’s inaugural season, and has grown to be one the most popular artists of this or any other era, with over 100 No. 1 Billboard singles and total worldwide sales of more than 25 million albums and 36 million singles. Clarkson has released eight studio albums (Thankful, Breakaway, My December, All I Ever Wanted, Stronger, Wrapped In Red, Piece By Piece, Meaning of Life), one greatest hits album, and two children’s books (New York Times Top 10 best seller River Rose and the Magical Lullabyand the recent follow up River Rose and the Magical Christmas). She is the recipient of three GRAMMY Awards, four American Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Awards, two Academy of Country Music Awards, two American Country Awards, and one Country Music Association Award. Clarkson was also recently announced as a coach on the 14th season the The Voice, in addition to serving as a Key Advisor on the current season’s Knockout Round.
 
Demi Lovato is a GRAMMY® nominated and multi-platinum singer, songwriter, actress, advocate, philanthropist and business woman. In addition, she’s one of the biggest names on social media, with an engaged combined following of over 145 million. Lovato’s highly-anticipated fifth studio album, Confident, was released in 2015. Within hours of the release of the first single, “Cool for the Summer”, the anthem trended worldwide and hit No. 1 on iTunes in 37 countries. Her previous album, 2013’s Demi, hit No. 1 on iTunes in over 50 countries around the world – with the lead single “Heart Attack” earning Platinum status just 10 weeks after its release. “Heart Attack” was followed by the top 10 Billboard Hot 100 smash and platinum single “Neon Lights,” and her top 10 single “Really Don’t Care.” The album supported two headlining tours (Neon Lights and Demi World Tour) which made stops throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In April 2017, Lovato played the voice of Smurfette in the Sony animated film, ‘Smurfs: The Lost Village.’ Additionally, beyond the stage and the screen, in 2013, her book Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year, became a New York Times best-seller, and in 2014 she became a global ambassador for Sketchers. In 2015, Lovato partnered with Episode, a leading mobile storytelling network, to make Demi Lovato: Path to Fame. Since launching, her story has been read over 225 million times. In 2016, Lovato took on a new venture and was announced as the first-ever collaboration with Fabletics, the innovative active wear brand co-founded by Kate Hudson. As a result of her long-time commitment to raising awareness around LGBT issues and causes, in 2016, Lovato became the recipient of GLAAD’s Vanguard award. She continues to be a global advocate for Mental Health, and in 2017 was honored by Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA, with the Artistic Award for Courage for her work in mental health. In addition, also in 2017, she was named by Global Citizen as the organization’s official ambassador for mental health, with a special focus on vulnerable communities around the world.

Los Angeles, CA (November 3, 2017) – dick clark productions and ABC announced today that global chart-topping Korean pop band, BTS, is set to make their highly anticipated U.S. television performance debut at the “2017 American Music Awards.” Idolized and passionately supported by their massive fan ARMY, BTS has quickly risen from the ranks as K-pop newcomers and are poised for immense growth. With their popularity thriving in markets across all of Asia and mounting tremendously in the Americas, the boy band’s super-stardom has garnered a sky-rocketing trajectory of success in just a few short years. BTS has notched more than 40 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Social 50 chart, which ranks the most popular artists across social networks. Most recently, BTS became the first ever K-pop act to break into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. Their fifth and latest EP, Love Yourself: Her, debuted at No. 7, the highest-ever for a K-pop act on the chart. BTS will treat fans to the U.S. premiere of their brand new single, “DNA,” live at the American Music Awards for their first ever U.S. television performance.

Comprised of band members Rap Monster, V, JungKook, Jin, Suga, J-Hope and Jimin, their remarkable impact is felt not only in Korea and all of Asia, but across the globe. Concert tickets and merchandise sales around the world confirm their universal appeal. Most recently, BTS has been recognized with awards including Best Korean Act at the 2015 MTV Europe Music Awards, Choice International Artist at the 2017 Teen Choice Awards, and Favorite International Artist or Group at the 2017 Nickelodeon Mexico Kids’ Choice Awards.
