We’re rounding the bend into September, but Rosa Linn continues to make it a Snap Girl Summer.
Armenia’s Eurovision 2022 act has officially entered the charts in the United States, with her entry hitting #97 on the Billboard Hot 100. That makes “SNAP” the 12th Eurovision song in the history of the contest to crack the Top 100 in the U.S.
The last to do so was Duncan Laurence’s “Arcade,” the 2019 winner. The beautiful pop ballad entered the chart at #100 before ultimately climbing to #30.
.@rosalinnmusic‘s “Snap” debuts at No. 97 on this week’s #Hot100. It’s her first career entry on the chart.

Rosa Linn and Duncan Laurence are the only two Eurovision artists since the turn of the century to see their songs make the Top 100.
Prior to this, the U.K.’s Gina G landed at No. 12 in 1996 with “Oooh Aah…Just a Little Bit,” while fellow Brits Brotherhood of Man hit No. 27 with “Save Your Kisses for Me” in 1976.
In fact, six of the 12 Eurovision songs to make the list come from the United Kingdom, which, besides a common language, has always shared a special relationship with the United States when it comes to cultural exchange (and business tie-ups).
Here is the complete list of Eurovision songs to crack the Top 100 in the U.S., as compiled by the passionate Eurofans at Aussievision in Australia.
Three other Eurovision acts from Eurovision 2022 did well on the Billboard Global 200 chart, which looks at global sales and online streaming. But Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra, the U.K.’s Sam Ryder, and Spain’s Chanel all had their moment in the weeks after the contest. Only Rosa Linn has managed to break into the domestic U.S. chart — even if it’s taken a while.
It’s the latest in a series of wins for the Vanadzor-born talent. She recently became the most-played Eurovision 2022 song on Spotify, eclipsing former leaders Mahmood & Blanco. She’s well past 110 million streams on the platform.
Earlier this month she confirmed that she’d signed with Columbia Records, the label behind Adele, BTS, Harry Styles and Lil Nas X. Since then she’s performed at the at the prestigious RIX FM Festival in Stockholm, alongside names like Darin, Cornelia Jakobs and Omar Rudberg.
And on 8 September she’ll perform at London’s Courtyard Theatre. Can’t stop, won’t stop!
