Boy band BTS took home two awards at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2022 held Tuesday in Los Angeles.

The K-pop phenomenon won Best Music Video for the 2021 hit “Butter” and Best Fan Army, an award given to the artist deemed to have the most loyal fandom.

This is BTS’s third consecutive time winning Best Music Video, following “Boy With Luv” (2019) in 2020 and “Dynamite” (2020) in 2021. BTS and its fandom, dubbed ARMY, has won Best Fan Army every year since 2018.

“This award is thanks to your love and support,” BTS said in an award acceptance video. “It means a lot for us that ARMY is with BTS. Thank you for loving our music. ARMY, you’re the best.”

BTS was also nominated for Best Duo/Group of The Year, which American R&B duo Silk Sonic (formed by singers Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak) ended up taking.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards is hosted by American radio network iHeartRadio annually since 2014.
