Forget K-Pop, there’s a new global girl group making serious noise. A2O MAY, the five-member powerhouse blending Chinese and English lyrics, is proving they’re not just a flash in the pan. Their debut single, “Under My Skin,” has held strong on the U.S. Mediabase Top 40 Radio Chart for a second week, a feat no other Chinese idol group has accomplished.
For those just tuning in, A2O MAY isn’t your average manufactured pop act. Formed by visionary producer Soo Man LEE (the man behind countless K-Pop legends), the group – CHENYU, SHIJIE, QUCHANG, MICHE, and KAT – represents a new wave of “Zalpha Pop,” a sound as boundary-breaking as the generation it speaks to. Their music, a fusion of slick pop production and undeniable charisma, is resonating far beyond their native China.
The Mediabase Top 40 chart, a crucial barometer of mainstream radio play, isn’t easy to crack. “Under My Skin”‘s sustained presence there proves A2O MAY isn’t just generating buzz; they’re connecting with listeners. And they’re not slowing down.
Their follow-up single, the fierce and energetic “BOSS,” racked up a staggering 6.3 million views in just three days. While conquering international airwaves, “BOSS” also dominated at home, hitting No. 1 on QQ Music, a major Chinese streaming platform. This is a group that commands attention, both East and West.
And if you want to see what all the fuss is about, you won’t have to wait long. A2O MAY is set to make their U.S. live debut at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango Festival on May 10th. Sharing the stage with heavyweights like Doja Cat, David Guetta, and Gwen Stefani, this is their chance to show America what they’re made of.
A2O MAY isn’t just breaking records; they’re shaping the future of global pop. Get ready to hear a lot more from these five. Stay connect with them at @a20.may on Instagram.
