I'm surprised Red Velvet didn't make it into nominations! A lot of ballads, OSTs and foreign singers this year! These are only the nominees for TOP 10, category award nominations will be announced later.

No Red Velvet or Sunmi?
YIKES.

Yeah, i thought both had digitals high enough to get on the list

No Red Velvet, Sunmi, JYP boygroups, IKON?
And looks like EXO is still the only SM boygroup that sells well digitally

got7 aren’t strong digitally and stray kids don’t chart on melon so i’m not surprised.

If Billie Ellish wins without RV or Sunmi getting at least a nod then I'll eat a shoe.

Man, I know SM groups don't do well digitally as a whole but their girl groups (esp RV and SNSD) always tended to do better than the rest....they didn't have a Red Flavor sized hit on their hands this year though.

Had no idea Sunmi's digitals weren't that good.
