AJR Perform ‘Bang!’ & ‘Way Less Sad’ at 2021 Billboard Music Awards

As the band segued into “Way Less Sad,” the line “I’m A-OK” hit particularly hard as the countless fans gathered outside sang along — a fitting moment as the world continues to emerge from the ongoing pandemic.

Earlier in the night, “BANG!” scored the band of brothers — Adam, Jack and Ryan Met — their first win for top rock song. Other finalists in the category included All Time Low (with blackbear), Glass Animals, Machine Gun Kelly (with blackbear) and twenty one pilots.

AJR was also up for top duo/group, which BTS won, and is still up for top rock artist.

The Billboard Music Awards are produced by dick clark productions, which is owned by MRC. MRC and Penske Media are co-parent companies of Billboard.
