BTS' "ARIRANG" becomes the FASTEST album in history to have all of its songs surpass 200 MILLION streams.
— Achieving it in just 132 days, 2x faster than any other album in history.
BTS join a growing list of major artists who have publicly criticized or distanced themselves from the GRAMMYs over the years.
— The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Drake, ZAYN, Nicki Minaj, Halsey, Eminem, Kanye West and many others have also spoken out against the awards.
Critic Lim on #BTS’s decision “The fact that a single Asian artist has rebelled against a massive awards ceremony and opened a forum for public discourse demanding change demonstrates immense influence in itself.”
They are the only asian artist that have the nerve to do that! 👏🔥
#WeStandWithBTS
All seven BTS members stand united in their decision not to submit to the Grammys this year. ✊
"We’ve decided not to submit our work for this year’s Grammy Awards. We hope music will be recognized and loved for what it is, rather than being divided by region or language. Thank you, as always, to ARMY and everyone who supports us." 🔥
