Over on Twitter, dozens of hashtags are being trend to celebrate the historic win, and others are simply satisfied keyboard smashing their tumultuous emotions with their caps lock on.

For those of you unfamiliar with BTS and their ties with the Billboard Music Awards, you should know they date back to last year. The 2017 awards ceremony invited BTS to attend as the group was nominated for Top Social Artist. After making a highly buzzed about entrance at the event, BTS nabbed the coveted award despite competing with global megastars such as Justin Beiber. This year, the band was up for the award again, and ARMY has devoted the last week to voting campaigns in the hope of helping BTS win two years in a row. And, as everyone knows now, their efforts were wholly successful.
