![btschartsxdaily's tweet photo. [Billboard] GRAMMYs has always stressed that Awards and nominations are not and should not be based on commercial success. Still, an artist posting those numbers should not be asking to be let in; they’re already here and should be allowed to take up as much space as they’ve earned — regardless of perceived public acknowledgment.
BTS is not turning down recognition. They are turning down a version of recognition they think is smaller than the one their year has already earned, and doing so at the moment that could certainly deliver the trophy they spent so many years chasing. As noted above, “SWIM” would not be eligible in the Asian pop category, but such album standouts as “Hooligan,” “2.0,” “Aliens” and “Body to Body” — the last of which reinterprets the Korean folk song the LP is named after — are easily Grammy-worthy, and BTS’ name recognition alone could have led to the Academy giving them their first trophy. Future releases and solo projects could likely produce several more. But BTS has never been one to rest on past accomplishments, and ARIRANG is a specifically globally focused record that brought in a wave of new collaborators to shake up the formula that had already earned them six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 and six No. 1 singles on the Hot 100; with ARIRANG‘s release, their total on both tallies is up to seven.
RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook may not have a better shot at their first group Grammy than the one they just declined. But they seemed to have withdrawn because the alternative was more than likely to win in a way that would confirm a premise they have spent their entire careers disproving: that their music is a regional variant or an alternative to the mainstream rather than part of general pop culture itself.
#BTS have seen this movie before and they know how it ends, but this time they’re leaving before the finale and telling everyone why on the way out.

@chartdata GLOBAL RECORD BREAKING CULTURE SHIFTING ARIRANG BY BTS

@TheeePinned Genuinely like wth
throwback to when bts had just announced arirang and this was all over twitter
@mavis_Yongi @PopStats07 @Spotify The versions are okay now, the drop of 10M is the same amount that was added yesterday due to combination ( ARIRANG did not gain 30M yesterday the extra 10M was due to the added normal versions) Now that the version are okay it doing it's stable 19M daily which is fine.. 💜
“Aliens” is about to become a whole new experience at BTS concerts. 🔥

When I started this fanbase, I was just a high school student. Today, I've completed BS with 1st position, becoming the first Pakistani Gold Medalist in this BS degree. We truly grew up together armys. Thank you armys, bts for being a big part of this journey
