MTV Hottest Through the Years: BTS Won Last Year Would They Win Again this Year?
It's the hottest time in music again as MTV Hottest Summer Superstar rolls in with a new set of nominees, including Korean boy group BTS.
Last year's winner, BTS, might just win MTV Hottest again this year as fans take their fans to the next level online. On its eighth year, the competition is still letting fans decide who will win among the 50 artists battling for the title.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 21: K-pop boy band BTS visit the SiriusXM Studios on February 21, 2020 in New York City.
The MTV Hottest win had only been awarded to five artists so far, with One Direction winning three times in a row in years 2013 to 2015. That means, if BTS wins this year, they will be the first ones to win consecutive years for the last five years.
Last year's MTV Hottest gave BTS 19 million votes in total, thanks for the help of their BTS Army. Lady Gaga followed that year with 12.7 million votes and BLACKPINK came in third with 3.8 million.
To vote for this year, fans just have to tweet #MTVHottest followed by the name of their bet. The list of nominees can be seen on MTV's site.
There won't be a leaderboard for this year but MTV Music UK said they will post regular updates on their Twitter account. Oicanadian said BTS, Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK are leading in this year's competition so far.
BTS and Blackpink are the only candidates for Kpop, said All KPOP Drama.
Here are the other artists who won the award in the past other than BTS.

When One Direction first won the MTV Hottest crown, it was actually a very good year for them. They got to star in their own movie and they won an MTV VMA in the weekend prior to their Summer Superstar win.
They won by 64 million votes, battling Justin Bieber for weeks.
