Rising girl group A2O MAY continues to make history as their debut single, “Under My Skin,” secures a place on the U.S. Mediabase Top 40 Radio Chart for a second consecutive week. This achievement further cements A2O MAY’s position as the first Chinese idol girl group to enter and now sustain a presence in the U.S. Top 40, signaling a powerful breakthrough moment for the group on the international stage.
The Mediabase Top 40 chart, based on actual airplay data from over 180 major radio stations across the United States and Canada, serves as a key indicator of mainstream popularity. Following their historic entry at No. 39 last week, A2O MAY’s continued presence underscores not just an initial splash but a growing resonance with North American audiences, a rare and significant accomplishment for a newly debuted girl group.
While “Under My Skin” continues to climb internationally, A2O MAY has kept their momentum strong with the release of their fierce follow-up single, “BOSS,” which amassed over 6.3 million views within just three days of its release, showcasing their escalating global fanbase and versatility as artists. Alongside their success abroad, “BOSS” also ignited strong momentum domestically, placing No. 1 on one of China’s top streaming platforms, QQ Music.
Guided by renowned producer Soo Man LEE, A2O MAY blends multicultural backgrounds and bilingual fluency in Chinese and English, positioning themselves as a pioneering voice of a new era in global pop culture. As representatives of the newly launched Zalpha Pop genre, a fusion of Gen Z/Alpha storytelling, CHENYU, SHIJIE, QUCHANG, MICHE, and KAT bring an authentic and boundary-breaking energy to every stage they step onto.
A2O MAY’s next milestone will be their first U.S. live performance at the KIIS FM Wango Tango Festival on May 10, where they will perform alongside top global artists including Doja Cat, David Guetta, Meghan Trainor, and Gwen Stefani. As A2O MAY’s success story continues to unfold, they are not just breaking new ground as a rising global act, they are shaping the landscape of the international music industry.
