\n\tIt\u2019s been a landmark week for PinkPantheress<\/a>. The British producer and singer scored her first-ever Billboard No. 1 when \u201cStateside\u201d featuring Zara Larsson<\/a> reached the top spot on both the Global 200 and the Global Excl. U.S. charts, following an 11-week climb that kicked into overdrive after American ice skater Alysa Liu skated to the hit at the Winter Olympics in February. The song also reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, making it PinkPantheress\u2019 biggest single since she reached No. 3 on the chart with the Ice Spice<\/a> collaboration \u201cBoy\u2019s a Liar Pt. 2\u2033 in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe chart-topping moment is the latest highlight from her Fancy That mixtape campaign, released via Warner Records U.K., Parlophone and Atlantic in May 2025. The nine-song collection paid homage to the 2000s U.K. dance scene with the 24-year-old referencing Basement Jaxx<\/a>, Groove Armada<\/a> and Fatboy Slim<\/a> as inspirations on the lively tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe project was nominated for the 2025 Mercury Prize<\/a> and competed in two Grammy<\/a> categories: best dance\/electronic album and best dance pop recording (for the song \u201cIllegal\u201d); upon release, Fancy That hit No. 3 on the U.K.\u2019s Official Albums Chart and No. 4 on Billboard\u2019s Top Dance Albums chart<\/a>. In October, a remix collection, Fancy Some More?, pulled a number of huge collaborators: Anitta<\/a>, Seventeen<\/a>, Kylie Minogue<\/a>, Kaytranada<\/a> and Ravyn Lenae<\/a>, to name a few.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat remix release included LP highlight \u201cStateside,\u201d which starred Swedish pop star Larsson, a track that resonated with fans and coincided with Larsson\u2019s own breakout moment. Having released her debut album in 2014 and gained traction with the 2015 single \u201cLush Life,\u201d Larsson\u2019s career was boosted by a Tate McRae<\/a> support slot in North American arenas last summer. A track from her 2025 LP Midnight Sun competed against PinkPantheress in the best dance pop recording category at the 2026 Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat \u201cStateside\u201d remix, co-written with Caroline Alinn, Karen Poole, The Dare and MNEK, played a role in a wider cultural moment at the 2026 Winter Olympics in February. During an exhibition gala for the figure skating programme, U.S. gold medalist Liu performed a routine to the remix<\/a> and boosted its international exposure. And helping push the track was Atlantic Music Group president of digital Alana Dolgin, who earns the title of Billboard\u2018s executive of the week.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere, Dolgin explains how the song rose to become the biggest song in the world this week, how Atlantic played a role in that success and why the combination of Pinkpantheress and Larsson worked so well. \u201cIt was the perfect balance between contrast and familiarity \u2014 underground credibility mixed with mainstream polish,\u201d Dolgin says. \u201cPink and Zara are having their own breakthrough moments, and the timing of this track amplifies the effect both are having in culture right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPinkPantheress\u2019 \u201cStateside\u201d has hit No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Global 200 chart this week. Why do you think that song has resonated?<\/p>\n

\n\tThis song has all the ingredients for a hit in today\u2019s musical landscape: the sound, the culture, a sense of modern nostalgia and undeniable transatlantic appeal. PinkPantheress has spent her career refining her niche rather than chasing mainstream trends \u2014 and now, listeners have finally caught up.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf all the remixes and guest appearances on the Fancy Some More? mixtape, why has this collaboration stood out and achieved chart success?<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile every remix on Fancy Some More? had its own twist, this track was more than just a feature \u2014 it was a true collaboration. It never felt like an add on; it felt like a fully-realized, definitive song, always meant to be part of the album.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat specific decisions has the team made to support the song during this viral moment?<\/p>\n

\n\tWe let the artist and the fans lead the moment, working alongside them to amplify what was already happening organically. The Zara Larsson co-sign was perfectly timed, alongside other key cultural moments, most notably Olympic star Alysa Liu\u2019s performance. As a team, we didn\u2019t try to control the viral moment; we channeled it through smart decision-making, precise timing and one-of-a-kind influencer marketing.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlysa Liu helped \u201cStateside\u201d reach a new audience when she performed to the track at the Winter Olympics. How did that moment come about, and what role did it play in the song\u2019s success?<\/p>\n

\n\tLiu has been a trailblazer and trendsetter throughout this year\u2019s Olympic Games \u2014 she\u2019s been intentional with her song choices, but most importantly, she chooses music she genuinely loves. The conversation she sparked during the Games created the perfect conditions for a viral explosion when she selected \u201cStateside\u201d for her exhibition gala routine. While the song was already on its way to becoming a global hit, the platform Alysa provided expanded its audience, strengthened its visual identity and tied a global emotional moment to an already remarkable story \u2014 for both Alysa and \u201cStateside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPinkPantheress recently made history as the first woman and the youngest-ever artist to win the producer of the year<\/a> honor at the BRITs. What makes her artistry and craft stand out?<\/p>\n

\n\tPinkPantheress winning producer of the year at the BRITs was years in the making. This recognition highlights just how distinct her craft is compared to standard pop music today. She\u2019s intentional, specific and precise \u2014 she doesn\u2019t just make hit records, she has redefined how hits are built, and her influence is already evident in the work of many artists today.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow important has visual storytelling been in the \u201cStateside\u201d campaign?<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile visual storytelling has been crucial to the \u201cStateside\u201d campaign, it hasn\u2019t followed the traditional \u201cbig-budget music video\u201d approach. PinkPantheress has spent years building her brand so deliberately that visuals don\u2019t define her songs, they support them. She has a highly specific visual language \u2014 nostalgic, soft, intimate \u2014 and the \u201cStateside\u201d visuals reinforce an identity that\u2019s been unmistakably hers all along, helping her cut through even the most crowded feeds.<\/p>\n

\n\tLooking at fan engagement, how has PinkPantheress\u2019 audience evolved since the song took off?<\/p>\n

\n\tOne of the best parts of viral hits today is how easily they drive rediscovery of an artist\u2019s catalog. With the success of Fancy That, PinkPantheress reached a highly online, deeply engaged global audience \u2014 not only continuing to amplify her built-in brand, but also fueling streams of catalog tracks like \u201cPain.\u201d Her audience isn\u2019t just consuming her music, they\u2019re co-creating alongside it.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans are also connecting across communities: indie\/alt-pop listeners, mainstream pop fans drawn in via Zara Larsson, sports audiences through Alysa Liu and fashion followers during Pink\u2019s highlights at fashion weeks. The success of the song has shifted PinkPantheress from being an artist of mystery to one defining the cultural moment, naturally influencing fan behavior. Most importantly, her U.S. tour in the months leading up to the peak of \u201cStateside\u201d was essential in translating online momentum to real-world engagement.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe is among a number of U.K. artists hitting new heights<\/a> on a global scale. Why do you think Pink and these artists are cutting through?<\/p>\n

\n\tThe biggest shift for U.K. artists has been the ability for their music to travel and reach audiences faster than ever, thanks in large part to platforms like TikTok. Their sound is truly borderless now.<\/p>\n

\n\tHow do you continue to support PinkPantheress on this next phase of the campaign?<\/p>\n

\n\tBetween us stateside at Atlantic Music Group and across the pond at Warner Records U.K., we will continue to let PinkPantheress lead, trusting her creative vision every step of the way. Our role is to help scale her reach without interfering with the qualities that have made her so successful. \u201cStateside\u201d is just the beginning; PinkPantheress is laying the foundation for the next era of pop music.<\/p>\n
