Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was $120 million, $49 million and $68 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in amortization expense in 2019 was due to the amortization of CCBA's definite-lived intangible assets that were previously classified as held for sale.
Based on the carrying value of definite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2019, we estimate our amortization expense for the next five years will be as follows (in millions):
