Arirang by BTS is on pace to become the best selling kpop album globally of all time, currently at 12.5M units (according to chartmasters).

They are projected to surpass their own album, Be (14.8M).

Forbes about BTS and Grammys, 2019:

"But as BTS continue smashing records and the Grammys continue to lose relevance, who really needs who?"

[♡ @amlysbang]

BTS announced their hiatus. When nobody expected them to. They fulfilled their country's national duty. Without hesitation. They came back after four years. People doubted them. Said they were over. Said the industry had moved on. Then they released ARIRANG. The biggest. The boldest. The most artistically ambitious projects of the year. Ended the Western Darlings.

And now they've chosen NOT to submit their music to the Grammys, taking a stand against a system they believe categorizes music by region and language.

That's power. Not chasing the industry.
That's how history is written. That's how the industry changes.

BTS will not be submitting their music for Grammy consideration following the introduction of the Asian-focused category, ‘Best Asian Pop Music Performance’:

“We hope our music can be heard and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language.”

Aliens by BTS rises to #1 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart.

I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.

Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.

Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.

And BTS chose not to submit.

Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.

Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.

Deleting the most viewed performance in your stage’s history won’t erase the impact it had @RecordingAcad

‘Aliens’ by BTS is now the #1 song on US iTunes.

BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category:

“I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
