@talkofthecharts ARIRANG. It would have been a tough call with Lux but that came out in 2025.

I wonder if anime opening and ending themes will be eligible for the new @RecordingAcad category of Best Asian Pop Music Performance.

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@RommelFLopez No, she needs to resign or be fired.

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@taytanniess I kinda get you, but do you really want to see any of the inferior Kpop groups getting a nomination and even winning a Grammy ahead of BTS? I certainly don't.

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@JoseWasHereBye Sure, BTS will likely win their first Grammy ever, but I'm worried that voters will think, "Oh let's just nominate BTS in this category and not in Album of the Year or even Best Pop Duo/Group Performance."

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@barnabychuck Many of us in the Ateneo community are calling for her termination or resignation.

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

Hey @SB19Official, a heads up :)

[Pop Core @TheePopCore]

The Grammy Awards are set to introduce their first ever Asian category at next year’s ceremony.

— The new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category will recognize K-pop, J-pop, and C-pop songs with meaningful use of one or more Asian languages.

@taesidekick My other favorite artist is Tori Amos. Yeah, I know, that might have caused some cognitive dissonance haha

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@solmerv You forgot part 3.
So busy hating on other groups that they couldn't even let their group win.

#BTS is now a 'Guinness World Records 'ICON'' and makes history as the only Musical Group and Asian Act on GWR's list! 💪🐐👑💜💙
“An ICON because: BTS not only introduced K-pop to the world but also made history with their genre-spanning music covering themes such as mental health, loneliness, and coming of age" - GWR

Recibo con gusto a uno de los grupos más queridos por las y los jóvenes de México: BTS. La música y los valores unen a México y Corea del Sur.

@teeheehyung What the haters don't have the intellect or sense to see is how much bigger kpop would be now if only they supported BTS and other kpop acts instead of dragging them down.

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@01rkive YES!

@BTSARMY_Boston BB200 is something non-US ARMY can contribute to, so speaking as one of them: HELL YEAH

BTS’ ‘ARIRANG’ Spends Second Week Atop Billboard 200

[Pop Core @TheePopCore]

BTS’ “ARIRANG” makes history as the first album by an Asian act to spend multiple weeks at #1 in the 71-year history of the Billboard 200.

[Ron Cruz @GMRonCruz]

@permylastemail7 Have you listened to "Yet to Come" again since Arirang came out? It's always been beautiful but it hits differently now. Indeed, as they promised at that time, the best was yet to come and we're seeing just the start of that now.
