He’ll Have Another: Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Tops Hot 100 for Fourth Week
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” tallies a fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single became the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list four weeks earlier.
The track also hits No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart. Notably, it becomes one of just seven titles that have led the all-format ranking and the Country Airplay chart – and one of only three to do so simultaneously.
Plus, as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” supplants Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, atop Radio Songs, two titles that have topped the Country Airplay chart have ruled Radio Songs back-to-back for the first time.
“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, which debuted at its No. 5 high on the Billboard 200 chart in June.
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. 10, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Aug. 6. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.
