MOTS7 is not there in ALOTY because it only had 3 weeks of tracking period barely.
Persona had more tracking period but those 4 or 5 albums nominated performed way better than Persona, plus BBMA is an award based on US charting and not Global. I beg yall to know this. Please

BBMA criteria is from March 2019 to march 2020 in USA.

Idk when the tracking is exactly but yall get what im saying right, MOTS7 didnt get a chance to shine properly. Otherise it has full potential for that nom and award.

About top artist. In my opinion BTS deserves a nom but then again, MOTS didnt really count for it much. So we have Persona and the single BWL.
The artists which got a nom had many hit singles WITH a sucessful album i suppose. Look at the Year end BB top artist chart of 2019.
