One of the most notable examples is “Snap“, by Rosa Linn which represented Armenia in 2022 and despite finishing in the 20th place of the scoreboard, has emerged to a huge success in charts around the world, currently counting nearly 900 million streams on Spotify.

But which entry from decade before has now started to step in Rosa Linn’s footsteps?

Sunstroke Project’s Run Away is taking over the planet

It is no other than Sunstroke Project’s “Run Away“, which has achieved phenomenal success during the last month.

Specifically, the group revealed on their personal Instagram account that “Run Away” peaked at No. 9 on Shazam’s Global Top 200 chart.

 

 

The Global Top 200 tracks the songs that have been Shazamed the most around the world. Run Away is currently ranked 13th.

It is currently ranked 40th in the US Top 200 and 54th in Australia, and it is also ranked in the top ten in the United States. The song has received over 2,093,000 Shazams in total.

Specifically:

Run Away consistently ranks among the top 20 songs with the most views on the competition’s YouTube channel, despite placing 22nd in the Eurovision 2010 Grand Final.
