Girl group A2O LITE has seized global charts right from its debut.

According to the latest chart (dated October 31) released by the U.S. music publication Billboard on the 27th, A2O LITE (Yeong, Oa, Ah-yoon, Ai-ching, Himeki, Rada, Siri, Bora, Merci)'s debut digital single "NEON" ranked 8th on the "Global 200" and 3rd on the "Global Excl. U.S." chart, respectively.

In particular, on the "Global Excl. U.S." chart, the song climbed 104 spots from 107th place to reach 3rd, while it made its debut entry at 8th on the "Global 200." The group secured a simultaneous TOP 10 placement on two Billboard global charts just about two weeks after releasing their debut track on the 13th.

According to Billboard, "NEON" recorded 25.9 million streams and 12,000 digital sales worldwide between October 16 and 22. The figures were compiled by global music data analytics firm Luminate, demonstrating that A2O LITE's debut song is being consumed not only domestically but also in overseas music markets.

Billboard's "Global 200" and "Global Excl. U.S." are charts that determine rankings based on official streaming and digital sales data from over 200 countries and regions worldwide. The "Global 200" reflects global performance including the United States, while the "Global Excl. U.S." reflects performance in regions excluding the United States. A2O LITE is expanding its presence in overseas music markets by securing top positions on global charts from the early stages of their debut.

The group is also showing strong momentum on major Japanese music charts. "NEON" ranked 2nd on Billboard JAPAN's "Top User Generated Songs" chart and 5th on the "Hot Shot Songs" chart, both released on the 21st.

Momentum continues domestically as well. Following its rise to 1st place on Melon TOP 100 just 29 hours after release, "NEON" maintained the top spot for 13 consecutive days from the 15th to the 27th. It also recorded 1st place on the Circle Chart's 42nd-week Global K-pop chart and Digital chart. Additionally, starting with SBS Life's "The Show" on the 20th, the group achieved a four-chart sweep across music programs, including MBC M's "Show Champion," Mnet's "M Countdown," and SBS's "Inkigayo."

Alongside these achievements, the song secured balanced results on major domestic and international platforms, including 1st place on Spotify Korea's daily chart and Shazam Korea's chart, 4th place on Apple Music's "Today's TOP 100: Global," and 1st place on China's QQ Music new releases, popular songs, and music video charts. In particular, the simultaneous entry into the Billboard global charts' TOP 10 adds significance as a record showing that the popularity of "NEON" extends beyond domestic borders into the global music market.
