    Sony Hall in NYC
    NEW YORK --

    The AMP Awards for Music & Sound has announced its return as a live, in-person event in 2022. The unofficial “loudest show in the industry” will rock the stage when it comes back to Sony Hall in New York City on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. 

    An official AMP Awards call for entries, which signals the opening of the online entry portal, will be announced in the new year, as will more news and details about the competition, including naming of the AMP Awards Show chair for 2022.

    “We’re so excited to be returning to a live event and being back on stage in New York for our 2022 celebration,” said Georg Bissen of MetaTechnik, national president of the Association of Music Producers, sponsors of the AMP Awards. “Like everyone else, we went virtual in 2020 and 2021, and while it’s been gratifying to recognize outstanding achievements in music and sound–especially during such a challenging time–the prospect of honoring the work with our friends and colleagues around us has everyone excited. We can’t wait to get back!”

    The event will be preceded the day before by a special, invitation-only reception celebrating the winners of the AMP Awards in 2020 and 2021. On hand will be members of the AMP National Board, winners, guests, judges and sponsors.

    AMP will also be announcing its inductee into the AMP Hall of Fame early next year. The honor, in recognition of a marketer’s Outstanding Achievement in the Use of Music and Sound to Define the Brand, was suspended during the virtual events. Past inductees into the AMP Hall of Fame include Apple, Volkswagen, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Budweiser, Nike, Chevrolet and Pepsi.

    The AMP Awards is billed as being the only juried, non-profit advertising contest to focus on the unique contributions made to the industry by creators and producers of music and sound. Judged by agency, label, publishing and music production professionals, the competition will present trophies in 14 unique categories. Its Best in Show honor, named for the late Droga5 music supervisor Ryan Barkan, will be selected by its Curatorial Committee from among the top category winners.

    Last year’s AMP Awards show was chaired by Perry Fair, EVP/ global executive creative director and director of entertainment at McCann. Awards were presented virtually on July 22 of this year, with the Ryan Barkan Best in Show award going to Found Objects Music Productions for its work for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation.

    And even though the AMP Awards went virtual, it continued its tradition of highlighting musical performances. In 2020, multi-platinum singer, songwriter and producer Aloe Blacc performed two songs, while for 2021, the Grammy and Academy Award-winning singer/songwriter legend Melissa Etheridge performed.

    Women Propel “Wuthering Heights” To Box Office-Topping Debut At $34.8 Million

    Sunday, February 15, 2026

    Emerald Fennell's bold reimagining of "Wuthering Heights" brought crowds of women to movie theaters this weekend. The Warner Bros. release topped the box office charts and nabbed the title for the year's biggest opening with $34.8 million in ticket sales in its first three days in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. According to PostTrak polling, an estimated 76% of those ticket buyers were women. By the end of Monday's Presidents Day holiday, the total could rise to $40 million from its 3,682 locations.

    The romantic drama starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the star-crossed Catherine and Heathcliff, won out over the weekend's other newcomers, including the animated "GOAT" and the heist thriller "Crime 101." Its biggest day was Saturday's Valentine's Day holiday, where it earned $14 million. "Wuthering Heights" is also performing even better internationally, where it's expecting to rake in an additional $42 million from 76 territories.

    The Warner Bros./MRC production cost a reported $80 million to produce, not accounting for the millions spent on marketing and promotion. If the four-day totals match the estimates, that makes for a strong $82 million global debut. And the film still has several big openings on the horizon, in Japan and Vietnam on Feb. 27, and in China on March 13.

    The success comes while the future of Warner Bros. hangs in the balance, as Paramount continues to sweeten its hostile takeover bid in hopes of winning out over Netflix. "Wuthering Heights" is the studio's ninth No. 1 opening in a row.

    Fennell's version of "Wuthering Heights," which takes many liberties with Emily Brontë's novel, largely divided critics. It's currently sitting at a mixed 63% on Rotten Tomatoes. While that... Read More
