Which artist won Top Social Artist in 2019? BTS won the award.
Top Social Artist was one of the Billboard Music Awards’ fan-voted categories, combining social engagement and music-related fan interaction with online voting. BTS won in 2019 after defeating Exo, Got7, Ariana Grande, and Louis Tomlinson.
The victory was the group’s third consecutive Top Social Artist award. BTS first won in 2017, breaking Justin Bieber’s six-year winning streak, and then repeated in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 for five straight victories.
The category’s history explains why several options may seem plausible. Bieber originally dominated the award from 2011 through 2016, while Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez were frequent nominees. BTS’s 2019 win was not the group’s first Billboard Music Award, but it reinforced their breakthrough as the leading social-force act of the era.
