Music is an important part of human’s existence and we at Nubia Magazine do our best to celebrate it as much as we could, and when we talk about music, Pop Bands or ‘Music Groups’ have always been a very influential and notable part of its history dating back as long as we can remember, way before the global success of bands like The Beatles, Queen, Rolling Stone, Jackson 5 and many more.. Today we still have many music groups like this thrilling us and blessing the world with their amazing music. This is why the Global Nubia Awards launched a category to celebrate and give proper credence to the pop bands that have been the most thrilling, exciting, successful, dedicated and especially most influential for each decade that passes.
We just finished an amazing decade for music globally, when it comes to technological advancements, digital music success, new music generation breakouts and more…

Here for BlackPink they are too fabulous achieved a lot in a short time! 블랙핑크 이겨야한다
El mejor grupo del mundo BTS , ellos ya se encuentran en la Historia Mundial, esto fue a base de mucho esfuerzo y a su gran fan base.
@Doris Carrera Sanchez
1-No importa si es el mejor grupo o no,vos votalos pero no opines dónde no te llaman,hablaba de BLACKPINK y saliste con cualquiera.
2-Por mí genial que estén en la historia mundial,pero seguís metiendo a alguien que ni nombraron.
3-Todos los grupos se esfuerzan,al igual que los fandoms,y BLACKPINK también tiene una gran base de fans por si no sabías,puede no ser de la misma magnitud que army pero va aumentando a cada minuto.
I know BTS already won this award in billboard . So this poll isn’t so special but I’m voting because I want BTS win all polls .
BTS
The comment section here is so clean unlike the the other individual poll that includes BTS members, it’s a mess and very much toxic.
Anyways,I’ll vote for BTS.
wish they use a new update pic for BTS
Only bts the best
Should be included in article for BTS. Since 2013 debut BTS has won about 370+ awards (over 500 nominations including Grammy) which include 6 AMAs, 9 BBMAs, 6 VMAs, 3 IFPI, 8 People Choice, most trophies in history at Asia Award shows (Daesangs which are grand prize). Also, 26 Guinness World records, Time Magazine Entertainer of Year 2020, WSJ Magazine Music Innovator of Year 2020, IFPI Global Artist of Year 2020, etc… I would say BTS are ” KINGS OF POP”.
Out of all the photos BTS has taken over the years they chose this one ????????♀️ I mean they could have shown their faces like the other groups????????♀️
Когда слушаешь музыку ВТS, когда осознаёшь смысл слов в тексте песен, когда видишь их движения в танцах – твоя душа “ликует”! Это чувство не угасает…! Ты снова и снова хочешь их видеть, слышать, очаровываться образами которыми ребята так умело создают на сцене!!! Для меня только ВTS поп-группа десятилетия!!!
