    Let BS(1,n)=BS(1, n)= be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where n≥2 n\geq 2. It is known that B(1, n) is isomorphic to the group generated by the two affine maps of the line : f0(x)=x+1f_0(x) = x + 1 and h0(x)=nxh_0(x) = nx . The action on S^1 = \RR \cup {\infty} generated by these two affine maps f0f_0 and h0h_0 is called the standard affine one. We prove that any representation of BS(1,n) into Diff1(S1)Diff^1(S^1) is (up to a finite index subgroup) semiconjugated to the standard affine action
