The '64th Grammy Awards', which has the highest authority in the American pop music world, will be held tomorrow (4th) at 9 am Korean time.
I am interested in the award of the group BTS, which has been nominated for 'Best Pop Duo/Group Performance' for two consecutive years following last year.
The categories in which BTS was nominated will be held at the pre-award ceremony.
In the midst of tough competition, BTS has a strong record for the mega hit 'Butter', which topped Billboard's main single chart 'Hot 100' for 10 weeks last year.
In addition, 'Permission to Dance', a song of hope in the era of Corona 19, that delivered a heavy resonance, and 'My Universe', a collaboration song with the band Coldplay, also reached the top of the Billboard 'Hot 100'.
At last year's Grammy Awards, BTS performed a solo stage for the hit song 'Dynamite', and this year's awards ceremony is expected to present 'Butter' or 'Permission to Dance'.
In the case of this year's Grammy Awards, the number of female, non-white, Asian, and young judges has been increased, away from the male-dominated judges, and it is analyzed that these newly joined judges are friendly to K-Pop.
BTS won the 'Billboard Music Awards' for 5 consecutive years since 2017 among the three major awards ceremony in the US pop music scene, and at the 'American Music Awards' last year, they received the 'Artist of the Year', which is the grand prize. He will set an unprecedented record as the best Asian singer to make the grand slam 'Grand Slam' awards ceremony.
However, the variable is that there are many competing candidates for the 'Best Pop Duo/Group Performance' category.
Coldplay, Doja Cat, SZA, Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco are nominated.
In particular, Tony Bennett, a 96-year-old living jazz legend, is analyzed as the Grammy's favorite artist.
