Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song” No. 1 For Fourth Week On Billboard Hot 100
Shaboozey leveraged a Beyoncé collaboration into a No. 1 hit song—four weeks and counting. Billboard reports that the Virginia native has snagged a fourth consecutive week atop the coveted Hot 100 with “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The song’s entry became the Nigerian American’s first overall No. 1 on the chart just four weeks prior.
Additionally, the smash hit occupies the top spot over on Billboard’s Radio Songs chart and the Country Airplay chart simultaneously—becoming one of only three songs in Billboard chart history to do so. Morgan Wallen and Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” was previously No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart before Shaboozey returned and thwarted the duo’s plans.
Boozey hit his Instagram Story to celebrate his recent accomplishment, posting a video of him vibing with a simple message: “4 Weeks.”
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” first arrived on the Hot Country Songs chart after it supplanted Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold Em'” in April. The feature marked the first time in chart history that one Black artist replaced another Black artist at the top spot on the country-specific chart. Bey’s track previously reigned supreme on the musical mountain for 10 weeks, per Billboard.
And if that wasn’t enough, a week prior found Boozey rising to the No. 1 spot from No. 34 on the Emerging Artists chart.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was included on the artist’s recently issued LP, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which dropped on May 31. And while that album was his third official LP, a lot of fans discovered Shaboozey on Bey’s groundbreaking country effort, Cowboy Carter, which arrived on March 29. Virginia’s son appeared on both “Spaghettii” and “Sweet * Honey * Buckiin,'” an opportunity that he gushed about to the outlet. “[I’m] so happy to have such a powerhouse of an artist that chose to take this journey to country, so it’s amazing to be a part of that,” he recalled.
