The "Butter" singers are also again in the running for Top Selling Song and Top Song Sales Artist (for both "Butter" and "Permission to Dance"), which is two of the four awards they snagged in 2021.
BTS was even nominated in new categories at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards, such as Top Billboard Global Artist (Excluding U.S.) and Top Billboard Global Song (Excluding U.S.) (with "Butter). Their final nomination is for the Top Rock Song award with "My Universe," the group's collab song with Coldplay.
The 2022 BBMAs will air live from Las Vegas on Sunday, May 15 at 8 p.m. ET.

"Like" is one of the BTS's songs in their debut single album "2 Cool 4 Skool." Despite the song being released nine years ago, it unexpectedly became a trend thanks to a TikTok user sharing a remix of the track.
After it went viral, the boy group added the song in its "This Is BTS" Spotify playlist. Other popular songs in the "2 Cool 4 Skool" album are "We Are Bulletproof Pt. 2" and "No More Dream."
As of writing, the trio's "Like" dance challenge on TikTok has garnered 23 million views and 6.9 million likes.
Meanwhile, BTS is gearing up for their "Permission to Dance On Stage" concert in Las Vegas this month. It will be held at the Allegiant Stadium, from April 8 to 9 and April 15 to 16. The April 16 event will have an online live-streaming component.

The seven BTS members have been in Las Vegas since March 28 (local time). Their first schedule ahead of the concerts is their appearance and performance at the 2022 Grammy Award, where they were nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with "Butter." The award, however, went to Doja Cat and SZA for their collaboration song 'Kiss Me More'.
Despite failing to take home the honor, the BTS members said that being able to attend the awards ceremony was already meaningful for them.
