American Music Awards

Had huge hits like Cowboy Casanova, Undo It, and Temporary Home.

As a matter of fact, it won the Academy of Country Music Award for Album of the Year, and it also got Favorite Country Album at the American Music Awards.

Singles that were released on November the 3rd include in 1955 when The Platters released The Great Pretender.

This was actually written by the group's manager, Buck Ram.

Now let's talk about your discography a little bit further.

When it comes to all the songs that you've been a part of, whether it's behind the scenes or in front of it, as far as accolades and achievements go, how far have any of the songs that you've touched, so to speak, gone? in terms of like gold selling, platinum selling, awards, like Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, like how far have your accolades gone at this point? Number one,

billboards, so on and so forth.

I'm going to keep up with the billboards.

But I certainly had no intention of like...

In fact, actually, you know, so in fact, I was, had flown out to LA because I was doing the AMAs, um, that week.

Uh, I was introdu- I was presenting or something like that.

And I, after she did that on Monday, after she had her comments on Monday, my publicist called the AMA, the executive producer of the AMA and said, "Can we, like, make a joke out of this? Can we change things up and make a joke out of it?" And they said, "Uh, no, we don't think it's a big deal." And let, nev- "No, let's not do that." And we were like, "Ugh, fine." I was wanting to make a joke out of it and get it over with.

Tori Spelling was lovely, and she was willing to make a joke out of it, and I thought it was very funny.

We sort of took, took the power back, so to speak.

And that night, um, because I had a shady publicist who I love still, after [laughs] Tori and I made the joke out of it on the AMAs, immediately he had had his interns over at the, uh, looking up through years' worth of footage of Kelly and Regis, had found instances where she had done it to Regis.

As soon as that thing happened with me and Tori Spelling, they sent it out to all the Entertainment Tonights and Extras and ET, whatever.

You put me in.

It makes me wonder, you know, when I first saw Chris Stapleton perform, it was with Justin Timberlake at the music awards or whatever the AMAs or whatever it was.

And that was they performed Tennessee Whiskey by themselves.

I'm not a huge Justin Timberlake fan.

He has sold over 150 million records worldwide.

He has won 8 American Music Awards, 5 ACM Awards, 10 CMA Awards, 15 Grammy Awards, and is the recipient of Kennedy Center Honors and a Gershwin Prize.

He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Agricultural Hall of Fame.

Nelson has appeared in over 30 films and co-authored several books.

to your point like you say it don't the the big big crowd don't matter because like you said when it was just you standing in front of eddie i mean the biggest most

important crowd that i ever performed in was at the american music award with black man united now that you're talking like man, big, you're on the American Music Awards.

So that trumps everything.

You know what I'm saying? But during that time, we were just starting, and we were just doing all the shows, going on Video Soul, BET.

So it was, and he was, you know, X was an early influence for me.

I remember seeing them on like the American Music Awards or something when I was a kid, right? When I picked up the bass and I'm like, oh my God, that guy is the coolest bass player I've ever seen in my life.

And so being in his band and learning all of his songs.

Surreal.
