Zara Larsson and PinkPantheress pushed “Stateside” to No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart after the song jumped two spots this week. Alysa Liu skated to it in her exhibition performance at the Milano Cortina Olympics on February 21, giving the track a visible public moment before it reached radio's top rung.
The rise adds another radio milestone to a single that had already traveled well beyond one chart lane. “Stateside” was released on April 25, 2025, through Warner Records as the second single from PinkPantheress’ second mixtape, Fancy That.
Billboard Pop Airplay
On the Mediabase pop radio chart, “Stateside” hit No. 1 this week and logged about 15,648 spins during the June 7-13 tracking period. That total was 725 higher than the previous week, which is the clearest sign of where the airplay momentum came from.
The pop-radio move also fits the song’s earlier chart path. In March, “Stateside” rose to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent a week atop both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, so the current No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart extends a run that was already strong across multiple formats.
Alysa Liu on February 21
February 21 is the key date in the chain. Liu’s exhibition performance at the Milano Cortina Olympics put “Stateside” in a high-profile setting, and the song’s late-week radio jump suggests that exposure landed in the pop audience the label needs most.
That sequence is the interesting part: the song was already proven on global and U.S. charts, yet its final push to the top of pop radio is tied to an Olympics exhibition rather than a new single rollout or a fresh remix cycle. The result is less about a comeback than about one well-placed performance feeding an already working record.
Warner Records and the climb
Warner Records now has a single that has crossed from streaming and global chart strength into full pop-airplay leadership. “Stateside” has also topped the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart for 16 weeks running, which gives it a rare mix of endurance and crossover reach.
For listeners, the practical takeaway is simple: the song is no longer just moving on one chart. It has become a radio winner, a global chart winner, and a track that can still add airplay after a televised Olympic exhibition gave it another lift.
