BTS is once again gaining global attention after being nominated for the top award “Artist of the Year” at the American Music Awards.
According to the official list released on April 14, the group secured a nomination in the main category, raising expectations as they previously made history by winning the same award in 2021 as the first Korean artist.
They will compete against major global artists such as Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga, highlighting the scale of the recognition.
BTS also received two additional nominations for “Best Male K Pop Artist” and “Song of the Summer,” bringing their total to three. Their track “SWIM” was nominated shortly after release, showing strong impact in a short time.
Their nomination follows powerful chart performance, as BTS topped both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 at the same time. They also recorded three consecutive weeks at No 1 on the Billboard 200 and maintained a Top 5 position on the Hot 100 for three weeks.
The American Music Awards will take place on May 25 in Las Vegas and will be broadcast live.
