PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson's "Stateside" hits No. 1 globally after Alysa Liu's Olympic gold medal skate. A historic chart moment for both artists.
- March 24, 2026
AceShowbiz - The collaboration between PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson on the track Stateside has soared to the No. 1 spot on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts. This rise in popularity followed a memorable moment when figure skating champion Alysa Liu skated to the song during her exhibition performance at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics on February 21, shortly after winning the first U.S. women’s figure skating gold medal in 24 years.
PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson each celebrate their first No. 1 achievement on these prestigious global charts. PinkPantheress notably becomes the second consecutive British artist to claim the top position, following Harry Styles' "American Girls," which debuted at No. 1 the previous week. This marks a continuation of a strong UK presence on the charts, which in 2022 included a remarkable 21-week streak at No. 1 on the Global 200 by British acts like Glass Animals, Styles, and Kate Bush.
In addition, PinkPantheress is the first English female artist to lead these charts since Adele with "Easy on Me" in 2021. Meanwhile, Zara Larsson becomes the first Swedish artist to top the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts since their inception in September 2020.
Alongside their success, Dominic Fike enters the top 10 on both charts for the first time with his refreshed track "Babydoll," originally released in 2018. This resurgence highlights the ongoing impact of streaming and global sales on artist visibility worldwide.
