Seoul: Popular South Korean band BTS has won three awards at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), one of the three biggest pop music honors in the US, Billboard said.

The South Korean septet won top duo or group, top song sales artist and top selling song (for its 2021 smash hit "Butter"), marking its sixth consecutive year to win at least one award at the BBMAs, the US music magazine said ahead of the awards show held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

BTS was nominated for seven awards in six categories with two songs, including "Permission to Dance," nominated in the top selling song section.

In the top duo or group category, the K-pop supergroup clinched the trophy, beating two strong competitors, Silk Sonic, the American R&B duo of Bruno Mars and Anderson.

Paak that won four honors at the 64th Grammy Awards; and British rock band Glass Animals.

It marks BTS' third time win of top duo or group at the BBMAs following 2019 and 2021.

BTS has now equalled former British-Irish male vocal group One Direction.

BTS won top song sales artist for the second consecutive year, beating other global stars, such as Adele, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran and Walker Hayes.

BTS members, however, did not attend the ceremony, reportedly due to their busy schedules for a new album set to be out next month.

"Won #BBMAs for 6 consecutive years! Thank you for listening to our music and your support," the band wrote on its official Twitter account.

One of the three biggest US pop music awards, along with the American Music Awards and the Grammy Awards, the BBMAs chooses winners based on Billboard charts.

This year's BBMAs reflected charts dated from April 10 last year to March 26 this year.

BTS has secured at least one trophy at the annual event every year since 2017.

Last year, it was nominated for four awards and won all four.
