Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” holds at No. 1 for a 17th total week atop the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now outright the longest-leading No. 1 ever by an artist with no accompanying acts, surpassing the 16-week command of Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” in 2023.
Overall, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now trails only Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019, for the longest No. 1 run – 19 weeks – in the Hot 100’s archives.
Meanwhile, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July, one-ups “Last Night” for the longest reign of the 2020s.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest rule this year, 21 weeks, on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only eight titles to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958. Plus, of hits that have topped both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now solely the longest-leading ever on the former, passing “Last Night.”
Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky,” featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne, jumps 14-10. It’s Tyler, The Creator’s third career top 10, all tallied in the past two weeks from his new album, Chromakopia, which posts a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
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 Nov. 16, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Nov. 12).

With “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now solely in second place, below is a recap of the five longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1s, of 1,175 total leaders dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, start. (All five have led since the list adopted electronically-monitored Luminate data in November 1991, at which point longer reigns than before subsequently became more common.)
A week earlier, Tyler, The Creator collected his first two Hot 100 top 10s: “St. Chroma,” featuring Daniel Caesar, debuted at No. 7 and “Noid” surged 43-10. While both songs depart the region, a third song of his hits the top 10, as “Sticky,” featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne, bounds 14-10 led by 20.9 million streams (up 5%).
All three tracks are from Tyler, The Creator’s new album, Chromakopia, which posts a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Sexyy Red lands her first Hot 100 top 10, GloRilla adds her second and Lil Wayne, his 26th (and first in over four years). Here’s an updated look at the acts with the most top 10s over the chart’s history:
“Sticky” concurrently soars 4-1 on Streaming Songs. (While the song’s sum of raw streams is the week’s third-highest, it tops Streaming Songs due to the application of weighting to all titles’ paid/subscription and ad-supported on-demand streams and programmed/radio streams.) Tyler, The Creator earns his second leader on the list, a week after “St. Chroma” debuted at No. 1. GloRilla and Sexyy Red each top the chart for the first time, while Lil Wayne adds his third No. 1.
Plus, “Sticky” climbs 3-1 on both the multimetric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. On both surveys, Tyler, The Creator reigns for a second time, a week after “St. Chroma” opened on top. GloRilla and Sexyy Red don their first crowns on both rankings and Lil Wayne notches his 12th No. 1 on each chart.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” holds for a second week at its No. 2 Hot 100 high.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2. It tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 14th week each.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” is steady at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 3, while her “Taste” pushes 9-7, after it debuted at its No. 2 high.
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March, ascends 6-5. It places in the top five for the first time since the chart dated April 27, although it had ranked between Nos. 6 and 10 for the past six months, dating to the May 11 tally. The song has logged the third-most weeks (43) in the top 10 all-time, trailing only the runs of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” (57 weeks, 2020-21) and The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” (44 weeks, 2021-22).
Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, slips 5-6 on the Hot 100, following six weeks at No. 1 beginning upon its debut in May.
Also in the Hot 100’s top 10, Benson Boone’s No. 2-peaking “Beautiful Things” returns to the region (11-8) and Wallen’s “Love Somebody” dips 8-9, two weeks after it debuted as his third No. 1.
