Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” tallies a fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single became the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list four weeks earlier.
The track also hits No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart. Notably, it becomes one of just seven titles that have led the all-format ranking and the Country Airplay chart – and one of only three to do so simultaneously.
Plus, as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” supplants Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, atop Radio Songs, two titles that have topped the Country Airplay chart have ruled Radio Songs back-to-back for the first time.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” on American Dogwood/EMPIRE (with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music), is from Shaboozey’s album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which debuted at its No. 5 high on the Billboard 200 chart in June.
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 Aug. 10, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Aug. 6. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

Here Comes the Two to the Three to the Four

The single adds a third week atop the Streaming Songs chart, ascends 2-1 on Radio Songs (marking Shaboozey’s first No. 1 on each list) and holds at No. 2 after nine weeks leading Digital Song Sales.
‘Bar’ Raised Atop Radio Songs & Country Airplay …
“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which interpolates J-Kwon’s 2004 hip-hop classic “Tipsy,” is the first song ever to go top 10 – and now top five – on all four of the following Billboard radio charts, where it continues to gain: It notches a second week at No. 1 on Country Airplay, rises 4-3 on Rhythmic Airplay, keeps at its No. 5 best on Pop Airplay and lifts 6-5 on Adult Pop Airplay.
Meanwhile, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” becomes just the seventh song to have topped the Country Airplay and all-format Radio Songs charts, dating to the lists’ 1990 inceptions (and the latter’s 1998 expansion to include country panelists, among other format reporters). Below is a recap (with all seven songs having achieved both country and pop/adult crossover radio prominence).
Radio Songs No. 1s That Have Also Topped Country Airplay:
“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey, one week at No. 1 to date on Radio Songs, 2024
“I Had Some Help,” Post Malone feat. Morgan Wallen, five weeks, 2024
“Fast Car,” Luke Combs, four, 2023
“I Hope,” Gabby Barrett feat. Charlie Puth (Barrett was solely credited on Country Airplay; Puth joined for its pop remix), one, 2020
Plus, reflecting that “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is infusing country and other formats together, this week marks just the sixth in which a track has topped Radio Songs and Country Airplay simultaneously. Thanks to the song and Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Wallen, five of those six frames have occurred since the latter first led Radio Songs in early July.
