BTS has won the Global Top 10 at the 2026 Melon Music Awards. The category is new this year and is based on the Global-K Chart, which combines data from Melon, Tencent Music, and LINE MUSIC, along with jury scores and fan voting. The win highlights the group’s continued strong presence in international markets.

BTS was also previously confirmed as one of the TOP10 (Bonsang) recipients. The full list of Top 10 winners includes AKMU, BTS, CORTIS, Hearts2Hearts, I.O.I, ILLIT, IVE, KiiiKiii, NCT WISH, and PLAVE. These same artists are the nominees for Artist of the Year, so BTS remains in contention for one of the major Daesang prizes.

In addition, BTS is nominated in other major categories, including Album of the Year with ARIRANG and Best Song of the Year with “SWIM”. The group has had a solid year on the charts, and this Global Top 10 recognition adds to their achievements during the current comeback cycle.

The 2026 Melon Music Awards is being held over two nights on November 14 and 15 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul. More winners from the remaining categories are expected to be announced as the ceremony continues.
