Shaboozey talks about the success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” on the Hot 100, who he’s been listening to and more at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Shaboozey:Charting on the Billboard charts is super important to me. It’s definitely something I feel like it has, like, a long-standing history. And being able to have a song, or, you know, have a couple songs this year, you know, finally break that. It just shows that, you know, it’s a testament to all the hard work and dedication and sacrifice we just put in. I really think it’s been a really cool year for music.

Listen to our Sabrina Carpenter. Listen to a lot of, you know every Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, Chappell Roan, Beyoncé, but yeah, just a lot of, just my friends. You know, it’s really cool to be able to listen to your friends, or like to, you know, to start with something. And we have this respect for each other. But there’s been so much good music I can’t say, you know, one artist and my taste jumps around a lot.

Having the longest charting song is crazy. Last year, I remember just checking out some of just looking at the charts and just being like, “Man, I would love to have a song, you know, even just enter in for me, having my first Hot 100 entry this year, my first two, and getting the longest No. 1.” It’s pretty cra… I don’t know if that’s ever happened before, making history has always been like a big thing for me, and just having an impact as an artist and as a human being. So it just shows that I didn’t let my childhood self down.

Tetris KellyHey, what’s up? It’s Tetris with Billboard News, hanging out with Shaboozey ahead of his first BBMAs performance. Man, you gotta be excited. What’s the vibe? What are you bringing to the BBMAs?

ShaboozeyMan it’s fun, man, hopefully a lot of country music, you know, lot of Western you know, a lot of vibes.

Tetris KellyI gotta be honest, I’m really proud of you. I remember meeting you actually at a BT party, and it was when your song was like, No.2, No.2, No.2. And you were like, Man, I hope I gotta, I gotta get to No.1. Like, now it happened. So tell me when it happened for you. How was that finally getting that accomplishment?

ShaboozeyThe kind of things I was doing at the time were, like, just really cool things that I just never thought I’d be doing, and meeting a lot of people I never thought I would meet, you know, being able to do that BET awards, and Jay Kwan come out, and then, you know, just the week right after that moment we went No.1. It felt like, it felt like a full circle moment, you know, felt like a, like a movie, honestly.

Tetris KellyI mean, that was a full circle moment, but I’m sure you didn’t even know then, like, 15 weeks was about to happen. So tell me about 15 weeks at No.1. That’s crazy, bro.

ShaboozeyIt’s crazy. You know, we do music and and especially being from like, a small town like me, you watch all these greats and all these, like, huge acts and people who have kind of, you know, matched those achievements or done more, and you’re just like, Man, I would love to be in those conversations and in those rankings. And it’s just, it’s great to be here. Honestly, yeah, I feel like we do something really special and something really different, and I put in a lot of time and a lot of work into just my music and my career, so just see it all kind of take off like this has been a blessing. Honestly, it’s been just just shows you just got to stay down, stay true to yourself, and keep working. Yeah, you can get anything.
