BTS Wins Billboard's 'Top Social Artist' for 4 consecutive years.
Idol BTS (BTS) won the Billboard Music Awards (BBMA) on the 14th (local time) and was selected as the top social artist for the fourth consecutive year. The Billboard Music Awards is considered one of the top three music awards in the U.S., along with the American Music Awards and the Grammy Awards.
BTS, who was unable to attend the ceremony due to a new coronavirus infection, delivered his acceptance speech with a burn. J-Hope said, "I'm grateful to ARMY (a BTS fan) for giving this award for the fourth consecutive year." Leader RM said, "This award is vivid evidence that we are always closely connected no matter where ARMY and BTS are in the world."
BTS has been receiving the Billboard Music Awards 'Top Social Artist' every year since 2017. "Top Social Artist" will be selected based on Billboard's "Social 50" chart ranking, which shows its online influence, and fan votes will also be reflected. In addition to this year's BTS, Korean groups EXO, GOT7 and pop stars Billy Eilish and Ariana Grande were nominated.
On the same day, BTS also performed "Dynamite," a song that topped Billboard's main single chart "Hot 100" three times. "We introduced them on the stage in Las Vegas during the last award ceremony, and we could hear fans cheering from far away in Korea," said host Kelly Clarkson.
Singer-songwriter Post Malone, who created mega hit "Circles," swept nine trophies at the ceremony, including top award "Top Artist." It also caught the attention of viewers as host Kelly Clarkson handed over nine trophies to the cart.
Billy Eilish won awards in the "Top Billboard 200 Albums" and "Top New Artist" categories, while Lil NARS X, which was a hit with "Old Town Road," was named the "Top 100 Hot Songs."
This year's Billboard Music Awards were originally scheduled for April, but were held indifferently after being postponed to Corona 19. The total number of awards ceremonies is between March 23 last year and March 14 this year.
