K-pop superstars BTS won nominations in two categories – Top Duo/Group and Top Social Artist – for the 2020 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) set for next month.
According to the list of candidates announced by the Billboard Music Awards on its website, BTS has been nominated for the “Top Duo/Group” and “Top Social Artist” categories like last year.
BTS competes with Dan + Shay, Jonas Brothers, Maroon 5, and Panic at the Disco in the “Top Duo/Group category.” In the “Top Social Artist” category, Korean groups EXO and GOT7 were also nominated, while Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande were also included.
If BTS wins Top Duo/Group this year, the group will become the first group or duo to win back-to-back awards in the coveted category since One Direction in 2016, according to Billboard. BTS has also picked up Top Social Artist at the award ceremony for the past 3 years.
This year’s Billboard Music Awards will be held at Dolby Theater at 8 p.m. on Oct. 14 EST and will be broadcast live on NBC.
