Another Round: Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 for Fifth Week
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” adds a fifth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Notably, the single, the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the Hot 100, is the first song to rule in streams, radio airplay and sales simultaneously since Adele’s “Easy on Me” in 2021. As “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” continues atop the Hot 100, it rebounds for a 10th week at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, notches a fourth week atop Streaming Songs and adds a second week atop Radio Songs.
Dating to the origin of Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart in January 2013 (when it joined Radio Songs, which began in 1990, and Digital Song Sales, which first published in 2005), “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” becomes one of only a dozen hits to have ruled in the Hot 100’s three metrics simultaneously.
Plus, as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” tops the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a ninth week, it’s the first song to reign in streams, airplay and sales while leading both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” on American Dogwood/EMPIRE (with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music), is from Shaboozey’s album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Aug. 17, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Aug. 13.

‘Tipsy’ Still Tops
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” dominates the Hot 100 for a fifth week with 90.5 million radio airplay audience impressions (essentially even week-over-week), 33.9 million official streams (down 5%) and 12,000 sold (down 12%) in the United States Aug. 2-8.
As it tops Digital Song Sales for a 10th week, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the first title to reach double-digit frames at No. 1 since BTS’ “Butter” ran up a record-tying 18 weeks on top in 2021. It matched the run of the group’s “Dynamite” in 2020-21. The three are the only songs this decade to lead for 10 or more weeks.

No. 1 in Streams, Airplay & Sales Simultaneously
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now one of a select dozen hits to have led in the Hot 100’s three metrics simultaneously.
Adele’s “Easy On Me” last earned the honor, the week that parent album 30 launched atop the Billboard 200 in 2021. She is also the only artist to claim the mark with two songs, as “Hello” likewise led in each metric at the same time in 2015. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and “Easy on Me” are the only songs to gain entry to the list this decade.
Here’s a recap of each song that has achieved such a triple triumph:
- “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey, Aug. 17, 2024
- “Easy On Me,” Adele, Dec. 4, 2021
- “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, July 22 & 29; Aug. 5, 12 & 19, 2017
- “Shape of You,” Ed Sheeran, March 25; April 1, 8 & 15, 2017
- “Closer,” The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey, Oct. 15, 22 & 29; Nov. 5, 12 & 19, 2016
- “Hello,” Adele, Nov. 28; Dec. 5 & 19, 2015
- “The Hills,” The Weekend, Oct. 17 & 31, 2015
- “Uptown Funk!,” Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Feb. 7, 14 & 21; March 7, 14, 21 & 28; April 4 & 11, 2015
- “Blank Space,” Taylor Swift, Dec. 27, 2014
- “All About That Bass,” Meghan Trainor, Oct. 11 & 18, 2014
- “Fancy,” Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX, June 28, 2014
- “Happy,” Pharrell Williams, May 3, 2014
Reflecting its uncommon sonic mass appeal, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became the first song to go top five (or even top 10) on all four of the following Billboard radio charts: Country Airplay, which it leads for a third week; Pop Airplay, where it takes over at No. 1; Rhythmic Airplay, where it reached No. 3; and Adult Pop Airplay, where it’s steady at its No. 5 high.

Post Malone & Wallen Lead Rest of Top 10
Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, following six nonconsecutive weeks on top beginning in May. It’s concurrently No. 1 on the multimetric Songs of the Summer chart for an 11th week.
Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” repeats at No. 3 on the Hot 100, four weeks after it rebounded for a second week on top. It crowns the multimetric Hot Rap Songs chart for a 13th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for an 11th week.
The Hot 100’s top five is stationary, with Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” at No. 4, after reaching No. 3, and Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” at No. 5, after hitting No. 2, as it logs a 15th week atop the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart.
Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” hits a new Hot 100 high, rising 8-6, as does Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” which wings 10-7, surpassing its prior No. 9 peak. The latter also ascends to No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts, as Eilish earns her fourth leader on each list, following “Lunch” this June, “What Was I Made For?” last year, “Happier Than Ever” in 2021 and “My Future” in 2020.
Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” rebounds 9-8 on the Hot 100, after it became her first No. 1 in June, and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led for a week in March, slips 6-9.
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Hozier’s “Too Sweet” falls 7-10, following a week at No. 1 in April, as it tops the multimetric Hot Rock Songs chart for a 19th week.
