Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” adds a seventh nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single, which became the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the list in July, claims outright 2024’s longest reign, surpassing the six nonconsecutive weeks on top for Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help” featuring Morgan Wallen. The latter, now at No. 2, led the chart in May-July.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” likewise logs the sole longest command this year on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, notching an 11th week at No. 1. It bests Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em,” which ruled for 10 weeks in February-April.
Also in the Hot 100’s top 10, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars blast in at No. 3 with “Die With a Smile.” The superstar pairing marks the 19th top 10 for the latter and the 18th for the former.
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. 31, 2024) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday, Aug. 27. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

The track posts a fourth week at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart. It dips to No. 2 on Digital Song Sales, after 11 weeks on top, and Streaming Songs, following five frames at the summit.
As “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” takes over for the longest stay at No. 1 on the Hot 100 this year, here’s a look at the songs that have led for multiple weeks since January:
Thanks to Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help,” titles that have led the Hot Country Songs chart have ranked at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously on the Hot 100 for the past six weeks. (The latter topped Hot Country Songs for seven weeks in May-July.) The streak ties for the longest in the Hot 100’s history, after country hits took the top two spots for six consecutive weeks last August-September, via Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town”; Wallen’s “Last Night”; Luke Combs’ “Fast Car”; Oliver Anthony Music’s “Rich Men North of Richmond”; and Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves.
“I Had Some Help” remains the hottest hit on the Songs of the Summer chart, where it dominates for a 13th week, having led each week since the seasonal survey returned after Memorial Day.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” surges onto the Hot 100 at No. 3 with 27.4 million streams, 13 million in radio reach and 21,000 sold (digital and physical singles combined). The duet, released Aug. 16, also starts at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (becoming the former’s 10th No. 1 and the latter’s ninth).
Bruno Mars earns his 19th Hot 100 top 10 and Lady Gaga, her 18th. Mars had last reached the region with the No. 5-peaking “Smokin Out the Window,” as half of Silk Sonic with Anderson .Paak, in November 2021; Gaga last hit the top 10 with the No. 1 “Rain on Me,” with Ariana Grande, in June 2020.
How rare is it for artists to share a Hot 100 top 10 with the résumés of Mars and Gaga? “Die With a Smile” is just the sixth hit in the chart’s 66-year archives in which two acts up their counts to 18 or more top 10s (a feat that, naturally, becomes more attainable deeper into the chart’s history). Below is a recap of the select songs with such star power, and the acts’ top 10 totals at the time of each entry. Drake and Michael Jackson each claim two titles below:
Below “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” “I Had Some Help” and “Die With a Smile” at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, on the Hot 100, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” dips 3-4, following two weeks on top. It leads the multimetric Hot Rap Songs chart for a 15th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a 13th week.
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” repeats at its No. 5 Hot 100 best. It also tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a third week each.
Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” rises 7-6 on the Hot 100, returning to its high, and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” slips 4-7, after reaching No. 3, while her “Please Please Please” descends 8-9, after it became her first No. 1 in June.
Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” falls 6-8 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, as it posts a 17th week atop the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart.
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led the Hot 100 for a week in March, descends 9-10.
