(L-R) Jungkook, V, Suga, Jin, RM, Jimin and J-Hope of music group BTS attend the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center on Jan. 26, 2020 in Los Angeles.
This past year, the Academy received 14 K-pop submissions, which constituted less than 1.5% of the submissions in the pop field.
The past two years have been filled with milestones for K-pop recognition in the U.S. In April 2019, BlackPink became the first all-female K-pop group to perform at the Coachella music festival. In November 2020, three of the five nominees for favorite social artist at the American Music Awards were K-pop groups (BTS, Exo and NCT 127). That same month, BTS received their first Grammy nomination in the best pop duo/group performance category for âDynamite,â their first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

Selena Trends As Fans Rage Over Lack of Grammy Lifetime Achievement Honor
Why Selena Quintanilla s Fans Are Disappointed in 2021 Grammys Lifetime Achievement Tribute https://t.co/RNhBRkEOAi E! News (@enews) March 15, 2021
Selena Quintanilla Perez trended overnight as fans raged over the lack of honor for her lifetime achievement award. The Tejano singer, who died in 1995, was among the multiple recipients of the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award and received a 3-second mention during broadcast. Fans were left confused and hurt by the perceived snub.
While the Recording Academy had not promised a more extensive tribute to Selena and doesn t typically devote time in the telecast for extended recognition to individual honorees, there was a clear impression that there would be a tribute by the way the academy used Selena s image and name to hype up the show. Even Selena s widower, guitarist Chris Perez, the Texas board of journalists and Texas congressman Joaquin Castro seemed to be un
