MMA 2021 Nominations Thread

Aespa got 5 nominations : SOTY, ROTY, Netizen Popularity Award, Bonsang and best female group

As they should

Hopefully 30 KMYS came thru with the votings

Who would have thought Next Level’s First ever win is a bonsang lol

So wait, question. I know they don't nominate any brave girls songs for SOTY because those are old song. What about Best Female Group? Are they going to count those data from those 2 songs? This is interesting.

those songs, that why they are nominated

for top10, lwy, baek or nct dream might sneak in there bc voting helps them

Brave Girls was nominated for best female group, yes. SOTY can't count old songs but for artist awards, nothing says old songs don't count.

Good to know.

If they count older songs to other awards aside SOTY, Brave Girls have a great chance to win Best Female Group. This would be such a heartwarming moment, they were so happy even with a music show win

Yea, I think they should count it. They have such a great year. It's either them or aespa.

I thought BE would not be eligible for MMA

Me too. Last time they included November was 2016.

Nct dream and Hot Sauce fighting!

This one is also interesting. I did not know lee MuJin is a rookie. Look like aespa and Lee MuJin gona take this one?

twice and melon looks like the beef is gone

Rooting for BTS!

Album of the year is Lilac cause it's literally been at #1 for some 30 weeks

Artist of the year is IU cause she has spent the most days at #1 on melon this year

SOTY is celeb cause it spent the most days at #1 on melon this year

Agree with th first 2. The SOTY is a bit tricky, Butter has the better chance because of voting. Celebrity has better the chance because of uls? Next Level has a better chance because of impact. I don't know. This could go to anyone. I guess it depends on the judges.

If they do count old songs digitals during 2021 for artist. That’ll benefit BTS a ton since you know dynamite, spring day, BWL , slr 😂

I disagree with artist being IU 100%. It’ll definitely be between her and BTS. BTS benefit thst now BE is counted + voting. And I agree with the fact that SOTY could essentially be who the judges vote for. So it’ll be imo who the judges pick for both SOTY and artist.

Oh, I forgot. They count streams and download. BTS is usually high in these data for all their songs in an album. Plus voting too, yes, it's either them or IU.

I wonder if IU will attend this year.

I know BTS probably aren’t since well they have an appearance at something in the US on dec 3 after their 4 la concerts. So unless they send a video performance or pre record, it’s unlikely they’ll attend.

The last time IU attended mma was 2017 right??

It will be 2017 again. IU won't get the 3 daesangs. Album will go to IU, Artist to BTS and Song to aespa.

I don't keep track of this either lol. Maybe someone can help you with this. I mean melon is own by kakao, and IU is related to Kakao, so I don't see why IU is not going to attend unless she has a busy schedule.

So this is interesting. He/she predicted for Female Group between Oh My Girl and aespa. I guess they might not count Brave Girls old song after all. Look at the albums that are nominated, I see Summer Queen is there. I guess the streaming and download data are based on this released, otherwise I don't see why this account put Brave Girls out instead of Oh My Girl.

So they bring back record of the year daesang this year which high likely means that both BTS and IU will win 2 daesangs each. My bet is IU winning AOTY and SOTY/ROTY and BTS winning ArOTY (BE and all old releases digital in the eligibility period are counted-this is just my assumption so it could be wrong) and either SOTY/ROTY. My bet is ArOTY and ROTY for BTS since they arent attending. Brave Girls high likely winning Female Group award.

Idt he knows whether the old releases digitals in eligibility period is counted or not. I mean non of us knows. Like we all didnt expect them to change the eligibility period and thought BE wont be eligible lol. So, them counting the old songs digitals (cumulative) in the eligibilty period is a possibility for top10/ArOTY/female group awards etc

p/s: his prediction for popularity award isnt even correct as LYW isnt nominated in that category
