It’s just been announced that David Guetta has won the 2012 award for favorite electronic dance music artist at the 2012 American Music Awards. With the rise of electronic dance music in America over the last two years, it’s no surprise that there’s finally a special category at the American Music Awards for electronic dance music. I was disappointed by the selection of nominees, but it makes sense as David Guetta, Calvin Harris, and Skrillex have been the most mainstream artists.

Personal note: I cringed hard when I heard the woman on TV use the word EDM.
