Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rounds up a 15th round at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song, which became the singer-songwriter’s first Hot 100 leader in July, extends 2024’s longest reign. It also ties Harry Styles’ 2022 smash “As It Was” for the second-longest reign this decade; Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” — like “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” a country-pop crossover hit — dominated for 16 weeks in 2023.
Over the Hot 100’s entire 66-year history, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” becomes one of just six hits to have led for at least 16 weeks.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest No. 1 run of 2024 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, adding a 19th week in the top spot.
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 Oct. 26, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Oct. 22). For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, and Instagram.

No. 1 in Airplay, Streams & Sales Simultaneously
“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” on American Dogwood/EMPIRE (with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music), totaled 74 million radio airplay audience impressions (down 2% week-over-week), 24.9 million official streams (down 6%) and under 6,000 sold (down 8%) in the United States Oct. 11-17.
The track rules all three Hot 100 component charts: It holds for a 12th week at No. 1 on Radio Songs and a ninth frame at No. 1 on Streaming Songs and rebounds 2-1 for a 14th week atop Digital Song Sales.
(Notably, this week marks the first in which the top-selling download sold under 6,000 since Digital Song Sales began publishing in the Jan. 22, 2005, issue. The 45 weeks with the lowest totals have occurred since the start of 2022; as Billboard reported in January, U.S. digital track sales declined for an 11th consecutive year in 2023, falling 11.9% to 133.9 million from 151.9 million in 2022.)
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is one of only 12 hits that have led in the Hot 100’s three metrics simultaneously. It triples up for a third week, having become the first song to do so multiple times since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, in 2017.
