The Fact Music Awards 2022: Final Lineup Consisting of Two Top-Tier K-pop Groups Announced
On Sept. 13, the organizing committee of The Fact Music Awards (TMA) revealed the fifth and final lineup for this year's award ceremony. They said that two K-pop groups, BTS and NCT Dream, will make their appearances at the event.
These two artists have once again proved their widespread popularity with their new releases this year.
On June 10, BTS released their anthology album "Proof," and on the same day, the septet sold a whopping 2.15 million copies on the Hanteo Chart. What's especially notable about this milestone is that the figure has only a few differences from the group's second-highest first-week sales record of 2.27 million copies set by "BE (Deluxe Edition)."

"Proof" then sold a total of 2,752,496 copies until its seventh day of release (June 16), achieving the second-highest first-week sales in Hanteo history.
Wth "Proof," BTS has been on the Billboard 200 chart for 12 weeks in a row as of the week ending on Sept. 10, as well as on other Billboard charts such as World Albums and Top Current Album Sales.
In addition, their representative songs "Dynamite," "My Universe" and "Butter" consistently rank on both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S charts. Their collaboration track "Bad Decisions" with Snoop Dogg and Benny Blanco also remained on Billboard Hot 100.
On March 28, NCT Dream returned to the music scene with their second full-length album "Glitch Mode," which impressively sold over 2.1 million copies in just one week, the group's shortest record to achieve the feat. This makes them a double-million seller for two consecutive years.
