K-pop superstars BTS bagged nomination at the BRIT Awards 2022, which will be held on Feb. 8 at The O2 Arena in London.
BTS got nominated for Best International Group of the Year along with ABBA, Maneskin, Silk Sonic/Bruno Mars/Anderson. Paak and The War On Drugs.
The BRIT Awards announced the nominees in different categories. Four new genre awards were introduced: Alternative/Rock Act, Hip-Hop/Grime/Rap Act, Dance Act and Pop/R’n’B Act.
In addition, the BRIT Awards moved away from female and male categories and launched new awards for Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year.
The eligibility period for the 2022 awards is from Jan. 1 to Dec. 9, 2021. All awards are decided by The BRITs Voting Academy, which is composed of “1,200 music industry experts across media, artists, labels, publishers, promoters, retailers and more, and is refreshed annually to ensure the voters are as diverse and representative as possible.”
