Tuesday at 04:542 days 'Stateside + Zara Larson' new on Apple Music at #196 and the combined track re-enters #88 last Friday on OCC. Given that both PinkPantheress and Zara are teasing a music video, good bet on this being the first new hit of the 2026, kinda similar to how the Ice Spice remix boosted 'Boy’s a Liar' in 2023.
