CRIED WHEN I WOKE UP.

>> MM-HMM.

WE ALL DO.

>> James: NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT.

I FEEL BETTER HAVING SAID IT OUT LOUD, I DO, FOR SHARING WITH

YOU.

NOW, RM, TELL ME, WHAT DOES THIS GRAM IN NOMINATION MEANS TO YOU?

MOST INCREDIBLE NEWS.

HAD.

CALL US.

SC( SHOUTING THANKS ) >> James: NOTHING WOULD MAKE

ME HAPPIER THAN SAYING YOU HOLD A GRAMMY.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ALBUM.

IT'S SO FANTASTIC.

IT'S NUMBER ONE AROUND THE WORLD.

I KNOW YOU SAY THIS IS YOUR MOST PERSONAL ALBUM YET.

TALK TO ME ABOUT THE MESSAGE BEHIND THE RECORD.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

>> HE IS ASKING IF YOU LISTENED TO THE SONG.

>> James: I'VE HAD "DYNAMITE" ON REPEAT IN MY CAR.

I THINK "DYNAMITE" IS THE BEST POP SONG OF THE LAST TEN YEARS.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

>> WHOO!

HE SAID IF YOU LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM YOU WILL KNOW HOW WE

ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC.

THIS ALBUM LITERALLY CHANNELED OUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS OF THE

PAST FEW MONTHS INTO MUSIC.

THAT'S WHAT THE ALBUM IS ALL AB, OUR EXPERIENCE OF EXISTENCE.

>> James: LET'S TALK FOR A MINUTE, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, AND

I'M SO SAD ABOUT THIS, SUGA IS NOT HERE.

HOW IS HE FEELING AND HOW DID HE REACT TO TODAY'S INCREDIBLE

NEWS?

>> OH, HE'S DOING WELL.

MM-HMM.

YEAH.

SO WE HAVE THIS CHAT ROOM, WHERE HE SAID, I DON'T KNOW WHY

I SLEPT OVER THIS NIGHT, AND HE WAS LITERALLY CRYING.

>> HE MUST HAVE BEEN VERY SAD BECAUSE WE COULDN'T ALL BE HERE.

>> HE WILL HANG IN THERE.

>> James: WE MISS YOU, SUGA, GET WELL SOON.

WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR THE NEWS THAT YOU HAD TODAY.

GUYS, JUST BEFORE WE GO TO BREAK, BEFORE YOUR PERFORMANCE,

DO YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOUR FANS, FOR THE ARMY TONIGHT?

>> MESSAGE.

LOVE, BIG LOVE, PEACE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
