OMG... MTV Hottest is back for 2021!

The OG stan battle of the summer returns for its ninth year and, whew, the competition is boiling hot this year as BTS could potentially tie with reigning kings One Direction.

Pop icons including Ariana Grande and Little Mix meet a whole roster of legendary newcomers like Olivia Rodrigo and Måneskin as 50 artists fight for the MTV Hottest crown. Who decide? Duh... YOU!

After winning in 2019 and 2020, BTS could tie MTV Hottest record holders One Direction if they win again in 2021. Will they do it? Or could Lil Nas X or Doja Cat take the title?
