Gloriana Scores AMA Breakthrough

November 24, 2009/by admin

GlorianaGloriana dazzled odds makers Sunday night (11/22) when the group won the fan-voted T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist Award at the 2009 American Music Awards. The honor was decided by fans who were encouraged to text vote right until the end of the show. Other nominees in the category were Lady GaGa, Keri Hilson and Kid Cudi.

The vocal quartet’s debut single “Wild At Heart” has been the best selling single by a 2009 new country artist with over 375k sold and the group’s self-titled CD is the best selling new act debut album racking up sales of over 133k according to Nielsen Soundscan, a division of The Nielsen Company.

“We cannot even put into words right now how thankful we are to the fans who voted for us and to everyone who has made the last couple of months an absolute dream come true,” said the group’s Cheyenne Kimball.

“This is still a bit surreal for us,” added band member Tom Gossin. “It’s such an honor to win an American Music Award, especially since it is voted on by fans and we are so grateful to have amazing fans.”

For a limited time, iTunes is offering Gloriana’s new CD at $7.99.

    They won this because Taylor Swift fans voted for them cause they were her opening act. Without the Taylor connection there is NO way they would of won. That is why fan voting at these award show is is 100% WRONG. There should not be fan voting at the CMA, ACM, Grammy’s or the AMA. It makes it not legit. Keep it for the CMT Video awards.

    People’s Choice awards are the same, might has well let Taylor know she won already.
