2NE1 won two of the categories, ‘Favorite Girl Group Album’ and Most Promising New Girl Group. In ‘Favorite Girl Group Album’ 2NE1’s album ‘Crush’  beat Little Mix and Fifth Harmony by amassing 32.5% of the total votes. 2NE1 also won the ‘Most Promising New Girl Group’ after receiving 45% of the votes against Little Mix and Fifth Harmony, signalling high levels of anticipation from U.S. fans for their future comeback.

Meanwhile, CL will be raising the profile of her group by releasing her first solo album in the United States this Spring, under the management of Scooter Braun.
