[pann] THE REASON WHY BTS DOESN’T NEED GRAMMYS
They held a sold-out concert at the very venue that hosted the World Cup halftime show, a 360-degree sellout with 85,000 attendees; if you include restricted-view seats, the figure reportedly reaches nearly 90,000, setting a new record for the largest audience ever.
For context, in terms of individual artist concerts, they are tied with Ed Sheeran for the all-time attendance record, excluding religious events.

Honestly, the Grammys should have just dropped the holier-than-thou act and based things on metrics or fan votes like Billboard or the AMAs, that actually would have been fairer

Despite Canadian singer Avril Lavigne becoming a global sensation in the 2000s, setting a record with 60 million in cumulative worldwide sales and placing four songs simultaneously in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 (at numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4), the Grammys never awarded her a single trophy, repeatedly nominating her but leaving her empty-handed. Her impact and influence were immense, even drawing the largest crowds at a US airport since Michael Jackson, yet long-standing controversy and speculation have persisted that the Grammys withheld awards simply because she was Canadian rather than American
