[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The group BTS is expected to be nominated as a contender for the 'Record of the Year,' one of the main awards at the United States' most prestigious music awards, the Grammy Awards.

On the 22nd (local time), the American business magazine Forbes selected BTS's "Butter" as one of the nominees for 'Record of the Year.' Earlier, the American music media Billboard also predicted "Butter" as a candidate for Record of the Year.

Record of the Year is one of the four major Grammy Awards known as the 'General Fields,' with a total of eight songs nominated. Forbes selected BTS along with Doja Cat's "Kiss Me More," Justin Bieber's "Peaches," The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber's collaboration "Stay," Lil Nas X's "Montero," Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License," Silk Sonic's "Leave the Door Open," and Taylor Swift's "Willow" as nominees for Record of the Year.

Forbes commented, "In previous Grammy Awards, there was a clear frontrunner for Record of the Year, but this time fierce competition is expected," adding, "The nominee list has been more diverse in the past, but this year it seems pop stars will compete."

Previously, BTS swept various awards at the 'Billboard Music Awards' and 'American Music Awards,' which are considered the three major American popular music awards along with the Grammy Awards. In particular, at the '2021 American Music Awards' held on the 21st (local time), they won three awards including the grand prize equivalent, 'Artist of the Year.'

The nominees for the '64th Grammy Awards' will be announced at dawn on the 24th Korean time. If nominated, the final voting will take place from December 6th to January 5th of next year. Accordingly, the possibility of winning can be anticipated at the awards ceremony held on January 31st next year at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA.
