George Michael's American Music Award for "Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist", held on 19 January 1989 at the height of his fame surrounding his "Faith" album, which to date has sold 20 million copies worldwide. Released by Columbia/Epic records in 1987, in his first solo album post Wham!, "Faith" became an instant success, skyrocketing him to the top of music charts around the world with six top five singles, including hits like "I Want Your Sex" and "Faith." Michael wrote and produced every song on the track, except for one he co-wrote. Award reads: "American Music Award" in gilt lettering with a gold plaque beneath it engraved, "Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist 'George Michael' 1989". Unlike the Grammys, which are determined by music industry insiders, the American Music Awards are based on record sales, airplay and video viewing. Michael took home three AMAs in 1989, beating out Michael Jackson and Steve Winwood as Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist of the year. He also took home an AMA for Favorite Soul/R&B artist, again beating out Michael Jackson, as well as Bobby Brown, and lastly a Favorite Soul/R&B Album for "Faith." Pyramid shaped lucite award measures 15.5" in total height with a 4.75" square base. No scratches to pyramid. Near fine overall.
