The song also extends the third-longest No. 1 run among all leaders this decade.
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” orders a 14th round at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, which became the singer-songwriter’s first leader in July, extends 2024’s longest reign and moves to within two weeks of tying the longest command this decade; Morgan Wallen’s fellow country/pop crossover smash “Last Night” led for 16 weeks in 2023.
Plus, as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 chart entry with no other billed acts, it ties for the second-longest No. 1 stay among all such breakthrough hits, with only Lil Nas X’s debut, “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), having led longer, for an overall-record 19 weeks in 2019.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally furthers the longest No. 1 run of 2024 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, adding an 18th week in the top spot.

A fan of multiple musical styles upon discovering music, Shaboozey “found country to be the thing that resonated with me in a really strong way,” he shared for his Billboard cover story. “Me being from Virginia, me loving the style and the way of life and the things they talked about … it all seemed very peaceful. It seemed like I could be real. I found country music could teach people that the little things in life are where the value is. Just having a working truck that you can take your girl in to ride to a cliff and watch the sunset is enough.”
“I love hip-hop; I’m a part of their community, too,” Shaboozey added, with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” having reworked J-Kwon’s 2004 hit “Tipsy.” “That’s what I want to do with my music: be disruptive and show people that music is progressing.”
