The group BTS was nominated for the 'Artist Of The Year' nomination for the first time at the '2021 American Music Awards' (AMA), one of the three major music awards in the United States.
The American Music Awards 'Artist of the Year' is an award that the best pop stars can challenge, and there is an interpretation that BTS has once again been recognized for its status as a global pop star.
The American Music Awards announced that BTS has entered the awards ceremony for the fourth year in a row as they were nominated in three categories including 'Artist of the Year'.
BTS was also nominated for 'Favorite Pop Song' for 'Favorite Duo or Group' and 'Butter', which topped the Billboard Singles Chart.
This is the first time BTS has been nominated for 'Artist of the Year' at the American Music Awards.
It is the first time in the history of the awards ceremony that an Asian singer has been nominated for this category, so BTS is writing a new history.
For 'Artist of the Year', BTS will compete with American 'monster rookie' Olivia Rodrigo, pop diva Taylor Swift, and Canadian global pop star The Weeknd.
Ariana Grande and Drake were also nominated for this category.
BTS has lifted the American Music Awards trophy every year since 2018.
