The Billboard Fan Army Face-Off 2026 has moved into Round 2, according to Billboard. The annual competition asks which artist has the strongest fan army.
After Round 1 closed Wednesday, July 22, at noon ET, 32 of the original 64 fan armies were still in the running for the title. The contest began on July 15 and features artists from across the music world, including BTS, Taylor Swift, BLACKPINK, Selena Gomez and many others.
Billboard noted that last year's winner was SB19's A'TIN, which earned 60% of the vote in the final round. That victory tied A'TIN with T-ara's Queens for the all-time record with three wins each.
Round 2 will continue through Wednesday, July 29, at noon ET, when Round 3 is set to begin.
