MTV VMAs have announced new categories for this year's ceremony.

Three new categories have been added to the 2022 MTV VMAs – GROUP OF THE YEAR, SONG OF THE SUMMER, and ALBUM OF THE YEAR. The winners of the social categories will be determined by fan votes.

The likes of global pop icons BTS, rock legends Foo Fighters, super duo Silk Sonic, and K-pop queens BLACKPINK are up for GROUP OF THE YEAR. Meanwhile, Beyoncé's dancefloor anthem, 'Break My Soul,' the Charlie Puth and BTS Jungkook collaboration 'Left and Right,' and Doja Cat's contribution to the ELVIS soundtrack, 'Vegas,' are some of the tracks fighting it out for SONG OF THE SUMMER.
