BTS has earned four consecutive No. 1 albums in the U.S. and four Top 10 hits on the Hot 100. They've been selling out stadiums for years. If you're going to nominate them for Best New Artist, you might as well nominate Harry Styles too.
To be clear, I have no idea whether BTS will get a BNA nomination (or any others). I have little faith or interest in the Grammys. But whether the show is a popularity contest or a celebration of artistic merit, BTS *obviously* deserves to be nominated in the major categories.
This isn't even a matter of fandom. It's like, extremely textbook lol. Their new album sold a ton of copies and critics unanimously praised it. Ergo, Grammy nominations. Don't tell me BTS isn't qualified for AOTY when BECK'S 'MORNING PHASE' WON.
Also—if BTS DOES get nominated or win Best New Artist, that's cool! If they get submitted then it obviously matters to them/their team. It's just that logically, they're capable of/qualified for so much more.
Anywayyyy back to work, all this feedback makes me think I'll have to write about this at length tomorrow
