Olivia Rodrigo took home the most awards of the night with seven, including new artist, female artist, Hot 100 artist, streaming songs artist, radio songs artist, Billboard Global 200 artist and Billboard 200 album.

As per Variety, the album, which earlier had the highest ranking of No. 14 back in 1977, re-entered the charts racing to No. 13 this week. As for the 'Billboard Artist 100' chart, which accounts for all the sales and streaming data for an artist's catalog, Meat Loaf secured a No. 3 position for the week. However, the song most loved by the music lovers didn't belong to the 'Bat Out of Hell' album. It was 'I'd Do Anything for Love' from 'Bat II' - the second part of Meat Loaf's 'Bat trilogy', which was released in 1993.

Yonhap News Agency quotes Billboard as saying that BTS ranked No. 1 on the lists of Top Artists - Duo/Group, Hot 100 Artists - Duo/Group, Billboard 200 Artists - Duo/Group, Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Artists, Digital Song Sales Artists and World Albums Artists. The band's 2020 hit song 'Dynamite' led the year-end Billboard Global Excl.

This is the highest rank any K-pop girl group has achieved with their very first album, according to Aespa's management agency, SM Entertainment. The Billboard 200 rankings are based on physical album sales and other digital sales records. It ranks the most popular album of the week in the United States.
