As if topping Billboard charts was not enough for the k-pop band, BTS, now they are nominated along with other k-pop groups like GOT7 and EXO for 'Top Social Artist' at the upcoming 'Billboard Music Awards'.

On September 22, the 'Billboard Music Awards' declared that BTS, EXO, and GOT7 were nominated for the 'Top Social Artist' category alongside Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande.

BTS has previously won 'Top Social Artist' at the award ceremony for three years in a row, starting in 2017; on the other hand, EXO and GOT7 were nominated for the first time last year in 2019.

The ‘Top Social Artist award’ is a fan-voted category, and voting begins on October 1.

BTS is also nominated for ‘Top Duo/Group’ category alongside Dan + Shay, Jonas Brothers, Maroon 5 and Panic! At The Disco.
