Shaboozey Continues to Raise the Bar With His ‘Tipsy’ No. 1 Smash: How Far Can It Go?

Just how long can Shaboozey‘s breakout hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” stay at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100?

So far, it’s scored 17 nonconsecutive weeks up top — the second-most in the chart’s history. And on the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are discussing whether the newly Grammy-nominated hit (song of the year, best country song and best country solo performance) has enough juice to match or surpass the current record-holder: Lil Nas X’s 19-week champ “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.

Listen to hear our thoughts below:

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how The Cure makes a smashing return to Billboard’s albums charts with its first album of new material since 2008 and how it’s getting festive on the charts as five holiday albums dot the Billboard 200, including two from friends of the podcast.

Speaking about album tracklists, Cordae took to IG to share his tracklist and reveal some of the features we can expect on his new LP, The Crossroads. The Crossroads will be Cordae’s third studio album and will feature hip hop heavies like Lil Wayne, Juicy J, Anderson .Paak, Ty Dolla $ign and Ye.

Catrise J:
Hey everyone, it’s your girl, Catrise J and we are here with Cordae. 

Cordae:
What’s up? 

We’re here to talk about your new album, The Crossroads.

Yep. 

Very, very excited for you. It’s been, what, two years? 

Two and some change. 

So why is it time for you to drop this album? Why do you feel ready? 

Because I think it’s ready. I think I’m better than I’ve ever been as an artist. Like, I feel like I needed that time to just live life, assess life. This album in particular, I needed to get better. I wanted to get better, like, as a songwriter, as a rapper, I wanted my verses to be better. I wanted my storytelling to be better. I wanted my beat selection and taste in beat selection to get better and that requires, like, work and time, you know, so I feel like this is my best foot forward thus far.

So why the title The Crossroads

Because I felt like I was at a crossroads in my life, and just so many avenues at the time, right? I felt like it was like life or death. Felt like, literally, my next decision. If I go right, everything is gonna be perfect and yay, life is great, and if I go left, all life is horrible. I’ve kinda realized that one decision doesn’t hold that much weight. It’s a culmination of decisions.

Tetris Kelly:

With Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” recently making a historic debut in the Hot 100 top 10, we’re taking a look at all the K-pop stars who have reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. We’re kicking off the list with a “stylish” artist who put Gangnam on the map with his viral hit “Gangnam Style.” Wop, wop, wop. PSY not only helped introduce the K-pop genre to the Western world, he also took the genre to new heights, becoming the first Korean artist to reach the Hot 100 top 10 with both “Gangnam Style” in 2012 and “Gentleman” in 2013. In 2018, BTS made history as the first Korean group to earn a spot in the Hot 100 top 10 with “Fake Love.” As a group, BTS has achieved incredible Billboard chart success, reaching the top 10 multiple times with songs like “Boy With Luv,” and grabbing the No.1 spot six times with songs such as “Butter,” “Permission to Dance” and “Dynamite.” “Like Dynamite, whoa.” “Dynamite,” the group’s first No. 1, helped them become the first all-South Korean act to earn the top spot on the chart. BTS members Jungkook and Jimin have also reached the top 10 with their solo songs.

Grupo Frontera:

Hey guys, this is Grupo Frontera and today we’re playing ‘Finish the Lyrics’ with Billboard. 

“If you only knew that I wrote to you/ I haven’t sent the messages/ They’re all still there, wow!/ It was so hard for me/ maybe I did you a favor when I left your side/ Drunk, checking your pictures… “

Well, the whole song. 

“I’m going to take care of you, so nothing happens to you/ Because you should know that I’m made for you”

“Don’t invite me to smoke/ Because I think of her/ I’m not meeting other women, even if they’re beautiful/ Because they’re not her, and I want her. “Don’t invite me to smoke/ Because I think of her/ I’m not meeting other women, even if they’re beautiful/ Because they’re not her, and I want her.”

My thoughts, you saw what I had inside.

Wait. How does it go? … revived what was dead, love…

You were living in my thoughts/ there’s nobody like you. 

Thinking it over/ I was born to love the one who doesn’t love me.

I wish I could ask you to come back/ Come back.
