Zara Larsson reacts to first Hot 100 top 10 moment with ‘Stateside’

Zara Larsson is celebrating a major milestone after her collaboration ‘Stateside’ climbed into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. The pop star shared her excitement online, revealing just how much the achievement means after years of chasing the moment.

Reacting to the chart success, Larsson said, ‘I’m 28 and this has been my dream for as long as I can remember,’ capturing the emotional significance of finally reaching the coveted top tier of the chart.

The track, a remix of Stateside by PinkPantheress featuring Larsson, has become one of the breakout pop collaborations of the year. Originally released as part of PinkPantheress’ remix project ‘Fancy Some More?’, the version with Larsson quickly gained traction across streaming platforms and international charts.

The song has enjoyed a surge in popularity thanks to viral moments and high profile exposure. A standout boost came when Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu performed to the track during the 2026 Winter Olympics exhibition gala, drawing global attention to the remix and pushing it further into the spotlight.

Commercially, the collaboration has performed strongly across multiple territories. The remix reached the top 10 in several countries and climbed as high as number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking Larsson’s highest charting position on the chart to date.

For Larsson, who first gained international attention with hits like ‘Lush Life,’ the chart milestone represents a personal and professional breakthrough. While she has enjoyed global success and strong streaming numbers for years, cracking the Hot 100’s top 10 has long been one of her biggest career goals.

Fans quickly celebrated the achievement across social media, praising the collaboration’s catchy production and Larsson’s vocal performance. Many also highlighted how the singer’s candid reaction made the moment feel especially meaningful after years of building her catalogue and audience worldwide.
