5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, SELENA GOMEZ AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD TO PERFORM AT THE "2015 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS(R)"

These Artists Join Previously Announced Host and Performer Jennifer Lopez Live on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 at 8:00 p.m., ET on ABC

dick clark productions and ABC announced today that 5 Seconds of Summer, Selena Gomez and Carrie Underwood will perform at the "2015 American Music Awards," the world's biggest fan-voted award show. They join previously announced host and performer Jennifer Lopez. The "2015 American Music Awards" will broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 AT 8:00 p.m., ET on the ABC Television Network.

Hailing from a small town in the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia, 5 Seconds of Summer blazed onto the scene and the charts, with their self-titled debut album entering the Billboard 200 at No. 1, selling 260,000 units in the U.S. in its first week of release, marking the biggest debut for a new act in 2014. It topped the iTunes charts in a total of 76 countries. Their sophomore album, Sounds Good Feels Good, will be released on October 23 via Hi or Hey Records/Capitol Records. 5 Seconds of Summer took home the trophy for New Artist of the Year Presented by Kohl's at the "2014 American Music Awards."

Multi-platinum singer and actress Selena Gomez redefines her role as a pop artist on her new album Revival which recently debuted at #1 on Billboard's album chart. Powerful and passionately charged, thrilling and sophisticated, Revival has also earned Gomez a host of rave reviews. Entertainment Weekly called it "one of fall's sleekest albums" and "as fresh and forward-thinking as the music of indie darlings Tove Lo and FKA Twigs," while Rolling Stone raved "this is the sound of a newly empowered pop artist growing into her strengths like never before." USA Today noted that "Gomez is bound to get at least a few skeptics off of Instagram and onto the dance floor" with her "cool, groovy and electro-savvy" album. "Gomez arrives with a pop vengeance throughout the record, as ear-sucking hooks and telling lyrics lay the groundwork for '80s-infused dance riffs and head-rushing genre-hopping that saturates all 14 tracks," raved Complex. The first single from Revival, "Good For You" featuring A$AP Rock is Gomez's biggest hit to date. It is her fastest-ever platinum seller and spent three consecutive weeks at #1 at Top 40 radio. Revival marks the latest chapter in a career that's brought Gomez from starring on television at age 15 to taking a central role in Harmony Korine's 2012 cult classic "Spring Breakers" - all while selling more than 22 million singles worldwide. Gomez announced that she will embark on her worldwide "Revival Tour" in 2016. The first leg will find Gomez traveling to 41 cities across the United States and Canada. The tour kicks off in Las Vegas on May 6th at Mandalay Bay and hits major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and more.

Carrie Underwood emerged from the promise of her 2005 "American Idol" win to become a true multi-format, multi-media superstar, spanning achievements in music, television and film. A seven-time GRAMMY(R) Award winner, she has amassed nearly 100 major honors, sold 58 million records worldwide, and recorded 21 #1 singles, 11 of which she co-wrote. The first female artist to be twice named the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year, Underwood was recognized as Pollstar's top female country touring artist for her headlining tours in 2008, 2010, and 2012. Her four studio albums, Some Hearts, Carnival Ride, Play On, and Blown Away - each certified multi-Platinum or Platinum, and each an American Music Awards winner as Country Album of the Year - tallied 38 weeks at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with songs that have been streamed more than 1.5 billion times worldwide. In 2013, she starred as Maria von Trapp in NBC's three-hour holiday blockbuster, the Emmy(R)-winning The Sound of Music Live!, whose airings attracted 44 million viewers. In late 2014, the Grand Ole Opry member released her first hits collection, Greatest Hits: Decade #1. Celebrating her first 10 years of music, the 25 songs included two new hits co-written by Underwood: the Platinum-certified, GRAMMY-winning "Something in the Water," as well as the #1 smash "Little Toy Guns." In September of 2015, she began her third season as the voice of primetime television's #1 program, Sunday Night Football, and on November 4, she'll return for an eighth consecutive year as co-host of the CMA Awards. Underwood is at radio now with her record-breaking single "Smoke Break," the first single released from her fifth studio album, Storyteller, out worldwide on October 23, 2015.
