BTS Performs New Hit Single ‘Butter’ at the BBMAs
For the fourth year in a row, K-Pop icons BTS hypnotize the audience at the Billboard Music Awards- this time, debuting the performance for their new hit single “Butter.” Despite already having a record-breaking week, BTS made a dazzling appearance at this year’s BBMAs.
Not only did the group- consisting of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook- perform their track “Butter” for the first time, but bagged some awards along the way.
The lads swept the Billboard Awards, winning every category they were nominated for. One of the categories, top-selling song, was snatched by BTS’ first English bop “Dynamite” which was released last August. “Dynamite” brought the group up to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and even led the boys to a Grammy nomination.
BTS also took home the Top Duo/Group award, Top Sales Artist, and fan-voted Top Social Artist. Nevertheless, fans enthusiastically supported the group through social media, giving loads of encouragement to the artists.
