PinkPantheress & Zara Larsson Crack Hot 100 Top 10 With 'Stateside'

PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson have officially entered elite chart territory. "Stateside," their shimmering collaborative single, has jumped to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week dated March 14, marking a career milestone for both artists and one of the biggest joint entries of 2026 so far.

The track's ascent has been building for weeks, fueled by massive streaming numbers and a viral moment on social media that turned the song's hook into an inescapable earworm. For PinkPantheress, it represents her highest-charting Hot 100 entry to date — a significant leap for the UK artist who first broke through with bedroom-pop experiments on TikTok before evolving into a full-fledged pop force. For Larsson, it's a triumphant return to the upper echelon of the American charts, recalling the glory days of "Lush Life" and "Never Forget You."

The pairing works precisely because it shouldn't — PinkPantheress' whispery, UK garage-inflected vocals gliding against Larsson's powerhouse pop delivery creates a tension that keeps listeners locked in. Production-wise, "Stateside" splits the difference between London's underground club scene and polished Scandinavian pop, a transatlantic fusion that clearly resonates.

But the bigger story this week might be the chart turbulence caused by Bruno Mars' new album 'The Romantic,' which is already reshaping the Hot 100's upper ranks. The ripple effects are visible across the top 10: Sombr slips to No. 10, Taylor Swift slides to No. 9, and "Golden" eases down to No. 8. Further up, "Opalite" falls to the No. 6 position, while "Ordinary" drops to No. 5.

“It's a packed and fiercely competitive top 10 — arguably the most dynamic the chart has looked in months.”

It's a packed and fiercely competitive top 10 — arguably the most dynamic the chart has looked in months. With Mars flooding the board with new entries and established hits jockeying for position, holding a top-10 spot in this environment is no small feat.

For PinkPantheress and Larsson, the timing couldn't be better or more challenging. "Stateside" arrives in the thick of a chart battle that could shift dramatically in either direction next week. Whether the track can climb higher or even hold its ground against the Mars onslaught will be the story to watch.

One thing's certain: the song has already proven it belongs here.
