BTS Left Out Of Billboard’s 2021 GRAMMY Predictions — But Why?
Have BTS been snubbed? Some fans are feeling that way after seeing Billboard‘s 2021 GRAMMY predictions.
On June 15, Billboard named their “Best Bets” for next year’s “Album of the Year”, “Record of the Year”, “Song of the Year”, and “Best New Artist”. The predictions were primarily based on the artists’ Billboard chart achievements, but despite BTS’s consistently high chart records and sales, they were not included in “Best Bets”, “Good Chance”, or “Within Reach” lists for could-be nominees.
Both fans and non-fans of BTS find it odd that the group was not included, citing their accomplishments.
⚠️ ARMY DO NOT CLICK
Despite being the best-selling album worldwide (5M+), biggest US album debut WITHOUT bundles (422k), and many more records, MOTS 7 is not mentioned once in this article.
Again, Do NOT click. DM us for screenshots.

I don’t listen to their music but by their success they should be there! I’ve seen some videos about them and they seem very talented. Idk why they wouldn’t be nominated

Some have even accused the GRAMMYs system of being “rigged” and biased.
BTS deserves to be here, but I'm not even surprised, we all know it's rigged
