Another Milestone on A2O MAY’s Global Journey
Hosted by Music Business China (音乐财经) and co-organized with Weibo Music’s Nayun Project, the MBIA highlights artists shaping the future of the music industry. A2O MAY’s win once again proves their growing impact not only in China, but across the global music scene.

From Chart Wins to Global Stages
In 2025, A2O MAY made waves with releases like “BOSS,” “B.B.B (Bigger Badder Better),” and their first EP PAPARAZZI ARRIVE. The EP hit No. 1 on Mediabase’s Top 40 Airplay “Most Added” weekly chart, tying with Justin Bieber—a huge moment for both the group and MAYnia.
They also took the stage at the Jingle Ball Preshow in the U.S. and held their first-ever fan meeting in Shanghai, “MAYnia Arrive,” creating unforgettable memories with fans.
As A2O MAY continues to shine on global stages, one thing is clear: this journey is just getting started—and MAYnia is right there every step of the way.
