Australia's Keith Urban won an American Music Award yesterday in the Favourite Male Country Artist category. The awards were broadcast in Australia on cable channel FOX 8. It's the first time Urban has won an American Music Award.

Taylor Swfit won five awards on the night and the big upset of the night was country group Gloriana's win in the Breakthrough Artist category. They beat out Lady GaGa to win that award.

Urban will now fly to Sydney to perform at the ARIA Awards in Sydney on Thursday night. He is nominated for an ARIA in the Best Country Album catagory alongside Jasmine Rae, Troy Cassar-Daley, Shane Nicholson and Felicity Urquhart.
