This year, BTS is also nominated for the Top Song Sales Artist award and the Top Selling Song award (for the song Dynamite).

BMA 2021 nominations are not just for BTS. Their colleagues BLACKPINK and SEVENTEEN received their first Billboard Music Awards nominations this year. The two groups are both included in the Top Social Artist category, competing with BTS, Ariana Grande, and SB19.
