The current situation of MAMA 2021’s only fan vote award

3/4 of the top positions currently belong to HYBE’s groups!

When the “Mnet Asian Music Awards 2021” (aka “MAMA 2021“) officially announced the nominations for this year’s awards ceremony, that’s also when the fan voting battle began.  This year, the Mnet music awards ceremony will undergo important changes in the awarding criteria, in which the most noble categories include Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year…  will completely remove fan votes. The winners will be determined based on digital music, album performance as well as judges’ evaluation. 

However, “MAMA 2021” still retains 2 awards where the winner will be decided 100% from the results of global fans’ votes, namely Worldwide Icon of the Year and Worldwide Fans’ Choice Top 10. The pre-vote portal for the Worldwide Fans’ Choice Top 10 category has officially opened from 6 pm on November 4 on Mnet‘s homepage and will close at 4:59 pm on November 22 (KST).  After that, the voting round on Apple Music will start at 6 pm on November 25 and close at 4:59 pm on December 9 (KST).

After less than one day of voting, the system has recorded more than 4 million votes from global fans for the Worldwide Fans’ Choice Top 10 award. The brightest candidates for the final top 10 at “MAMA 2021” are gradually appearing, and once again, the popular groups from big entertainment companies are taking the most obvious advantage.
