FIRST-TIME NOMINEE THE WEEKND TO PERFORM "THE HILLS" AT THE "2015 AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS"

Jennifer Lopez Will Host the Live Broadcast on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd at 8:00 p.m., ET on ABC

dick clark productions and ABC announced today that The Weeknd will perform at the "2015 American Music Awards," the world's biggest fan-voted award show. The Weeknd, a first-time AMA nominee, will debut his hit song "The Hills," marking his first full performance on the AMAs. He joins previously announced host and performer Jennifer Lopez, as well as 5 Seconds of Summer, Coldplay, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, One Direction, Gwen Stefani, Carrie Underwood, WALK THE MOON, duets from Meghan Trainor and Charlie Puth, Luke Bryan featuring Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, and the legendary Star Wars score to be performed by pop super group Pentatonix and a full symphony orchestra. The "2015 American Music Awards" will broadcast live on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22 at 8:00 p.m., ET on ABC.

The Weeknd is nominated this year in the categories of Artist of the Year, New Artist of the Year Presented by Kohl's, Song of the Year, Favorite Male Artist - Soul/R&B and Favorite Album - Soul/R&B. He is tied with Ed Sheeran for the second-highest number of nominations at this year's show.

The Weeknd's path to Beauty Behind The Madness has defied all conventions. He avoided revealing his face until over a year after he released his very first song online. The story itself is now legendary. In 2011, he released an untouchable series of three critically revered free mixtapes - House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence - and the internet exploded with praise and a whole lot of theories about him as he personally remained silent. Soon though, his reach and appeal exponentially expanded. He teamed up with Ariana Grande for the platinum-selling hit "Love Me Harder." He then had the mainstream completely in his grip with the release of "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" in early 2015. The first release from the chart-dominating, platinum Fifty Shades of Grey Original Motion Picture soundtrack became a triple-platinum smash that enjoyed 27 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100. "Can't Feel My Face" formally ushered in Beauty Behind The Madness. The song quickly shot to #1 on iTunes worldwide, and within weeks it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Beauty Behind The Madness went gold just two weeks after being released. In addition, "The Hills" has officially been certified 5x platinum as recognized by the RIAA.

The Weeknd has also become a touring force. The 2014 King Of The Fall Tour sold out all dates, and since then The Weeknd's festival appearances, including Coachella, Lollapalooza and HARD Summer, have drawn massive crowds.

To help fans express their passion and excitement for the show, the American Music Awards and Twitter are launching custom Twitter emojis for all performers. All performers will have featured Twitter emojis to celebrate their appearances as they are announced. Viewers will be able to activate the Twitter emojis by Tweeting any of following hashtags from today through the end of the show on November 22:
