New Delhi: Billboard released its nominees for its annual music awards show on October 26 (local time). The Top Global K-Pop Artist, Top K-Pop Album, Top Global K-Pop Song, and Top K-Pop Touring Artist categories are the four new additions to the K-pop awards this year.
The winners of the Billboard Music Awards are determined by performance measures based on year-end Billboard chart positions, and the monitoring period for this year’s awards lasted from November 4, 2022, to October 21, 2023.
Nominees for the BBMAs are determined by the artists’ Billboard chart success over the preceding 12 months. This considers things like album and digital sales, radio play, streaming data, tour activity, and social media involvement. They have increased by four this year. When it comes to K-pop, HYBE acts tend to dominate nominations.
BTS, who have won the BBMAs for the last six years running (2017-2016) and have an incredible total of 12 trophies between them, are nominated this year as solo artists in many different categories.
Honored to be a finalist at this year’s #BBMAs!
