Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” tallies an eighth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, furthering 2024’s longest command. The single became the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the survey in July.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” likewise lengthens the longest command this year on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart, hoisting a 12th week at No. 1.
At No. 2 on the Hot 100, Sabrina Carpenter soars in with “Taste.” She follows with “Please Please Please,” up 9-3 after it became her first No. 1 in June, and “Espresso,” which jumps 7-4 after reaching No. 3. All three songs are from her new album, Short n’ Sweet, which blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Carpenter meets The Beatles: Notably, as Carpenter’s three songs mark her first three top five Hot 100 hits, she becomes only the second act – and first soloist – ever to chart her first three top five hits in the region simultaneously. She joins only The Beatles, who first tripled up on the chart dated March 7, 1964, with “I Want To Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You” and “Please Please Me” at Nos. 1, 2 and 4, respectively. (The classics took the top three the following two weeks; “Twist and Shout” joined them the following frame to give the group the top fab four ranks; and, the week after that, The Beatles monopolized the entire top five as “Can’t Buy Me Love” leaped 27-1.)
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 Sept. 7, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Sept. 4 (a day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday Sept. 2).

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” extends the longest Hot 100 domination this year. Here’s a look at the songs that have led for multiple weeks since January:
Sabrina Carpenter bounds onto the Hot 100 at No. 2 with “Taste,” which starts with 42.5 million streams, 4.6 million in radio audience and 6,000 sold. It premieres at No. 1 on Streaming Songs, becoming her second leader, after “Please Please Please” reigned for two weeks in June.
“Please Please Please” surges 9-3 on the Hot 100 (32.3 million streams, up 64%; 44.9 million airplay audience impressions, up 7%), after it became Carpenter’s first No. 1 in June, and “Espresso” rebounds 7-4 (29.6 million streams, up 54%; 60.7 million in airplay audience) after hitting No. 3.
All three songs are from Carpenter’s new album, Short n’ Sweet, which launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
As the tracks mark Carpenter’s first three top five Hot 100 hits, she becomes only the second act – and first soloist – ever to chart her first three top five hits in the region simultaneously. She joins the vaunted company of The Beatles, who achieved the feat over five weeks in 1964.
Here’s a recap of Carpenter’s historic week and each week in which The Beatles charted their first three or more top five Hot 100 hits in the top five simultaneously. (Both politely made their marks with songs with “Please Please” in their titles.)
Sabrina Carpenter
The Beatles
Carpenter previously moved into The Beatles’ rarified chart air when “Please Please Please” debuted at No. 2 and “Espresso” first reached No. 3 on the June 22-dated Hot 100. She likewise became the first solo artist and second act overall, after the group 60 years earlier, to place two initial top-three hits with no other billed artists in the region simultaneously.
“That one sounds fake to me,” Carpenter said of the second stat on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Aug. 22. “I’m just so grateful that you guys are listening.”
Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, falls 2-5 on the Hot 100 following six weeks at No. 1 beginning upon its debut in May.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” ranks at No. 6 on the Hot 100 a week after it debuted at No. 3 (though up 13% to 30.8 million streams and 28% to 16.7 million in radio audience).
Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” descends to No. 7 from its No. 5 Hot 100 best. It tops the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a fourth week each.
Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” slips to No. 8 from its No. 6 Hot 100 high and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” tumbles 4-9, following two weeks on top, as it leads the multimetric Hot Rap Songs chart for a 16th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a 14th week.
Rounding out the Hot 100’s top 10, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which ruled the Hot 100 for a week in March, holds at No. 10. It also ties for the ninth-most weeks logged in the top 10 over the chart’s history:
