British boy band babes One Direction were the men of the evening at the American Music Awards.The gorgeous group won the best award of the night for artist of the year. They also led the big winners receiving a total of three accolades.The handsome heartthrobs, who have released albums every year since 2011, won Artist of the Year, Favourite Band, and Favorite Album for their latest release, Midnight Memories.And the best bit about receiving these awards, it was their fans who voted for them.Also doing it for the boy bands were Aussie group 5 Seconds of Summer who won the New Artist of the Year gong. Good for them but they have a long way to go to beat the 1D boys.
