# American Music Award for Favorite Soundtrack

The American Music Award for Top Soundtrack has been awarded since 1996. Years reflect the year in which the awards were presented, for works released in the previous year (until 2003 onward when awards were handed out in November of the same year). Originally entitled Favorite Soundtrack, the Pitch Perfect series is the only film series to have all of their films win in this category.
