charts discussion Rosa Linn's Snap debuts at #97 on the Billboard Hot 100

[Hector]

Armenian singer-songwriter and 2022 Eurovision Song Contest contestant Rosa Linn scores her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated Sept. 3) with her single “Snap.”

 

The song — Linn’s first appearance on any Billboard chart — was released on Nvak/Columbia Records, and debuts at No. 97 with 4.9 million U.S. streams (up 13%), 2 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 52%) and 1,000 downloads sold (up 63%) in the Aug. 19-25 tracking week, according to Luminate. It also pushes 16-15 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, 22-20 on the Billboard Global 200 and 33-29 on Adult Alternative Airplay and debuts at No. 35 on Pop Airplay.

 

The song’s latest boost can be attributed to its exposure on TikTok, where it has been featured in over more than 860,000 videos, incorporating its “snapping one, two, where are you?” lyrical hook.

 

Rosa Linn (real name Roza Kostandyan) released “Snap” on March 19 as her entry for the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, representing Armenia. She ultimately finished 20th; Kalush Orchestra, of Ukraine, won with “Stefania.”

Rosa Linn is the latest Eurovision contestant to chart on the Hot 100. After a 24-year gap, she joins a growing list that also includes the Netherlands’ Duncan Laurence (“Arcade”) and Italy’s Måneskin (“Beggin'”).

Eurovision continuing to make an impact in the US  The way this became the biggest global hit from Eurovision this year is something no one saw coming!

Oh wow, @The A-Lister won big time, as a Rosa Linn hater, I can't stand this slayage

[shelven]

This gives me major The Lumineers, Of Monsters And Men and early Ed Sheeran vibes. This could have smashed in the US if she had released it like 8-9 years ago

[Smarticle]

Tiktok did that

[onething]

Congratulations to the current Queen of Armenia 

 

It's really amazing and also almost unbelievable that a song that ended 20th in an Eurovision final is now a worlwide hit.  This is indeed huge. 

 

I think Rosa Linn should promote her song King, which is featured by Kiiara, once Snap's hype is over. It's a really good song. You guys should check it.

• “Beggin’,” Måneskin, No. 13, 2021

Why did Billboard call Beggin' a Eurovision entry? If we're gonna include non-Eurovision songs by Eurovision participants on the list then surely all other charted songs by Abba, Celine Dion, Olivia Newton-John, Julio Iglesias, and Bonnie Tyler should be included as well.

[Hurem]

Whoa, I did not expect this to become this big

[J Legend X]
