Shaboozey is making waves this summer with his hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which has achieved the remarkable feat of simultaneously topping the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts in the United States. This milestone marks the first time a song by a Black male artist has led both charts at the same time.
The single, which debuted in April, has steadily climbed the charts, becoming the anthem of the season. Its rise to No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart came shortly after Shaboozey’s performance at Stagecoach, replacing Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.” Shaboozey’s popularity has surged since his features on Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album, with tracks like “Spaghettii” and “Sweet * Honey Buckiin'” also making an impact on the Hot 100.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has drawn significant attention, with 60 million radio airplay audience impressions, 45 million streams, and 23,000 sold. The track’s success is further bolstered by its recent performance at Mike Rubin’s famous all-white Fourth of July party.
Shaboozey’s current LP, “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going,” has also seen impressive success, currently sitting at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. This achievement underscores Shaboozey’s growing influence in the music industry.
In addition to Shaboozey’s success, other notable chart positions include Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” which remains at No. 1 for the 11th consecutive week on the Billboard 200, tying with her albums “1989” and “Fearless” for the longest-leading No. 1 albums. Sabrina Carpenter makes a strong showing with her hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please” at Nos. 4 and 6, respectively. Newcomer Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” is at No. 5, and Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck Babe!” enters the Top 10 at No. 10.
The albums chart also features Megan Thee Stallion’s “Megan” debuting at No. 3, and Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” returning to the Top 10 at No. 10 following the release of a deluxe vinyl edition.
Shaboozey’s groundbreaking achievement with “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” not only showcases his talent but also highlights the evolving landscape of the music industry, where genre boundaries continue to blur, and diverse voices rise to prominence.
