The American Music Award for Favorite Duo or Group – Pop/Rock has been awarded since 1974. 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). The most-awarded artist in this category is BTS. The group claimed the all-time record when they won the award for a fourth consecutive year at the 2022 ceremony. No other act has earned as many consecutive wins.
