\n\tBTS <\/a>will make what is billed \u201ca special appearance\u201d at the 52nd American Music Awards<\/a> on Monday, May 25. It will be their first award show appearance in four years.

Both superstar acts are competing again in the category this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tBTS this spring landed their seventh No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, \u201cSwim,\u201d and their seventh No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, ARIRANG, which was their first album to hold the top spot for multiple weeks (three).<\/p>\n

\n\tQueen Latifah<\/a> is set to host this year\u2019s AMAs, which is airing on Memorial Day for the second year in a row. The show is being held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
