Explained simply
The Country Music Association Awards, usually called the CMAs, are annual prizes recognising achievements in country music. Their competitive awards cover performers and recordings, with categories including entertainer of the year and female vocalist of the year.
Award totals can show which artists have been recognised repeatedly, though they reflect CMA voters’ choices rather than a complete measure of an artist’s success. The record holders include performers from different generations, such as Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn and Tim McGraw.
