The septet has received seven nominations, which is fantastic news. Fans are dismayed, however, that BTS did not receive a nomination for Top Social Artist. The Bangtan Boys have been the champions of this category since 2017, and they have won it five years in a row. Fans expected at least a nomination for the five-time champion, if not a win.

The Billboard Music Awards, or BBMAs, will be held on Sunday, May 15 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. This year, The Weeknd has gotten the most nominations—under 17--while Doja Cat is the leading female competitor with 14 nominations. Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Olivia Rodrigo each have 13 nominations, while Drake has 11.
