Zara Larsson and PinkPantheress‘ “Stateside” is one of the top 10 songs over in the States, and after the Swedish pop star worked her entire career to make it happen, she couldn’t be happier to finally achieve that milestone.

In a candid TikTok posted Monday night (March 9), Larsson leveled with followers about how surreal it is to see the electro-dance-pop hit reach the top tier of the Billboard Hot 100 dated March 14. “My name is on the top 10 Billboard Hot 100 at No. 7,” she said while lounging back in her seat, her hair in pin curls. “Hi! It’s so crazy.”
“I’m 28, and this has been my dream for as long as I can remember,” she continued. “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.”
“I get to see it happening, I get to be present, and I get to enjoy every single thing that’s happening to me,” she added. “It’s not even really about the charts — even though, yippee! — it’s really about people listening.”
Larsson signed off, “I’m really happy. Thank you so much.”
In the comments, the singer’s fans showered her with congratulations. “You deserve every DROPLET of this success and love,” one person wrote, while another listener added that it was “about time” Larsson nabbed that top 10 placement.
Another fan said, “I wish you SOOOOO much success girl … you deserve it!”
The new No. 7 peak for “Stateside” comes amid a career breakthrough more than a decade in the making for Larsson, whose rise first started in summer 2024 after her song “Symphony” began trending alongside a dolphin-related TikTok meme. In 2025, she dropped album Midnight Sun and hopped onto a version of PinkPantheress’ Fancy That track “Stateside,” which took off this year after Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu performed a viral routine to it.
“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,” Larsson told Teen Vogue recently. “I felt so proud, not only because she won gold, but because she looked so joyful.”
