Other big winners include, Rihanna and One Direction, with the band managing to take home the favourite pop/rock band and favourite pop/rock album award.

Making their first appearance at the AMAs, One Direction walked onto the stage after Emma Roberts introduced them and called them her "favourite band."

The five boys excited fans when they played 'Story of My Life' which was taken from their forthcoming Midnight Memories album.
