After millions of votes cast throughout round 2 (which came to a close at noon ET on July 29), these are the artists whose fan armies have successfully pushed them to round 3: Ariana Grande, Bad Bunny, Benson Boone, BLACKPINK, Bruno Mars, Harry Styles, Melanie Martinez, Olivia Rodrigo, Rihanna, Sabrina Carpenter, SB19, Selena Gomez, SEVENTEEN, Stray Kids, TWICE and Zara Larsson.

Round 3 will continue until Wednesday, Aug. 5 at noon ET, at which point the Fan Army Face-Off will enter the quarterfinals.
