A2O MAY Makes History as First Chinese Girl Group to Break into U.S. Top 40 Radio

Los Angeles, CA – April 25, 2025 – History has been made. Breakout girl group A2O MAY is now the first-ever Chinese idol girl group to chart on U.S. Top 40 Radio, thanks to the soaring success of their debut single, “Under My Skin.” This record-breaking moment not only establishes the group’s global potential but also marks a powerful shift in Asian representation across international pop music.

The momentum doesn’t stop there. Today, A2O MAY unveils their bold new single, “BOSS,” a genre-blending anthem designed to dominate playlists worldwide.

The group’s debut single, “Under My Skin,” quickly made waves by climbing the Mediabase U.S. Radio Weekly Chart, eventually cracking the Top 40 a rare and unprecedented feat for a rookie act, especially one hailing from China. A2O MAY’s growing impact is further reflected in their 10.7 million views on Weibo and 13 million YouTube views, establishing them as one of the most buzzworthy global girl groups of 2025.

Formed under A2O Entertainment and mentored by legendary producer Soo-man Lee, A2O MAY brings together five talented members, CHENYU (16), SHIJIE (17), QUCHANG (17), MICHE (19), and KAT (19), from Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Hawaii. Their music transcends borders, thanks to bilingual lyrics and a futuristic genre dubbed Zalpha Pop, which fuses emotional storytelling with cutting-edge production for digitally native Gen Z and Gen Alpha fans.

Their success marks more than a chart milestone, it’s a cultural turning point.
