The Recording Academy announced it will continue the Best Asian Pop Music Performance category at the 2027 Grammy Awards. The category was introduced on June 16 as one of five new categories added for the 69th Grammy Awards. According to category rules, nominated recordings must meaningfully incorporate one or more Asian languages, and recordings performed entirely in English cannot be submitted.

Stray Kids has reached the top of the Billboard 200 chart nine times, most recently in August with This & That.

On July 29, the members of BTS stated they will not submit for the 2027 awards. BTS earned five Grammy nominations across three different ceremonies but never won an award. Nominations for the 69th Grammy Awards will be revealed on November 16, and the ceremony is scheduled for February 7, 2027.
