AceShowbiz - Zara Larsson, the Swedish pop sensation, has reached a major milestone with her hit collaboration "Stateside" alongside PinkPantheress, as the track climbs into the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

In a heartfelt TikTok video posted on the evening of March 9, Zara Larsson shared her excitement and disbelief at seeing her name listed at No. 7 on the Hot 100 chart dated March 14. Relaxed with her hair in pin curls, she expressed how surreal it feels to achieve a dream she’s held since childhood. "My name is on the top 10 Billboard Hot 100 at No. 7," she said. "Hi! It’s so crazy."

At 28 years old, Zara Larsson reflected on the long journey that led to this achievement. "This has been my dream for as long as I can remember," she explained. "It’s weird having it happen. I really enjoy the fact that I’ve been doing this for a long, long, long time. It really is about the journey."

She emphasized the personal significance of the moment, noting that it’s more than just chart success. "I get to see it happening, I get to be present, and I get to enjoy every single thing that’s happening to me," Zara Larsson said. "It’s not even really about the charts—even though, yippee!—it’s really about people listening."

Closing her message with gratitude, she said, "I’m really happy. Thank you so much."

The reaction from fans was overwhelmingly positive, with many leaving congratulatory comments. One admirer wrote, "You deserve every DROPLET of this success and love," while another commented that it was "about time" Zara Larsson earned a top 10 placement. Another follower added, "I wish you SOOOOO much success girl ... you deserve it!"

The No. 7 peak for "Stateside" marks a significant breakthrough for Zara Larsson, whose career gained new momentum starting in summer 2024. Her song "Symphony" went viral in connection with a popular TikTok meme featuring dolphins. In 2025, she released the album Midnight Sun and appeared on a remix of PinkPantheress’ track "Stateside," which gained additional traction this year after Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu performed a viral routine to the song.

Reflecting on the cultural impact of the song, Zara Larsson told Teen Vogue that being part of moments like Alysa Liu’s Olympic gold-winning performance is even more meaningful than chart rankings. "Being a part of culture and history, like I got to be with Alysa, is way more impactful to me personally than any chart position," she said. "I felt so proud, not only because she won gold, but because she looked so joyful."

Zara Larsson’s journey to this landmark moment demonstrates her dedication and connection to her audience, highlighting that success is as much about the shared experiences and cultural moments as it is about numbers on a chart.
