Written by djfrosty on July 5, 2024
It took 11 weeks, but Shaboozey is finally crowned on Australia’s singles chart as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (via Empire) lifts 2-1.
That’s the U.S. artist’s first leader in the land Down Under. The track, which interpolates J-Kwon’s “Tipsy,” which reached No. 5 back in 2004, enjoys a boost after Shaboozey performed it with the American rapper Sunday (June 30) at the BET Awards.
Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter’s reign ends as the U.S. singer and actor’s former leaders “Espresso” (up 3-1) and “Please Please Please” (down 1-3, both via Island/Universal) complete the podium.
The top debut on the latest ARIA Singles Chart, published Friday, July 5, belongs to The Kid Laroi with “Girls” (Columbia/Sony), new at No. 21. That’s the Sydney-raised singer and rapper’s 20th appearance on the ARIA Top 50, according to the trade body, a tally that includes two No. 1 singles: “Without You” and “Stay” with Justin Bieber. Meanwhile, LAROI’s “Nights Like This” improves 48-26 on the current frame, a new peak.
