Shaboozey is “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is top shelf on the Billboard Hot 100 again, rebounding from the runner-up spot for a second week at No. 1. Two weeks earlier, the single became his first leader on the chart.
The song by the Virgina native (born Collins Obinna Chibueze) is from his LP Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which debuted at its No. 5 high on the Billboard 200 in June. It has spent two weeks at No. 1 on Americana/Folk Albums and reached No. 2 on Top Country Albums.
Of his breakthrough this year, Shaboozey, who has been releasing music for a decade, recently told Billboard, “We were pretty prepared for this moment.”
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
“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” on American Dogwood/EMPIRE (with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music), rules the Hot 100 with 77.2 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 11%, good for top Airplay Gainer honors for a third week), 39 million official streams (down 6%) and 16,000 sold (down 24%) in the United States July 12-18.
The track keeps at its No. 2 high on Radio Songs; holds at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart, following a week at No. 1; and dips to No. 2 after nine weeks atop Digital Song Sales.
Reflecting its mass appeal, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which interpolates J-Kwon’s 2004 hip-hop classic “Tipsy,” became the first song ever to go top 10 on all four of the following Billboard radio charts, where it continues to gain: It pushes 4-3 on Country Airplay and 7-5 on Pop Airplay; repeats at its No. 5 high on Rhythmic Airplay; and is steady at its No. 6 best on Adult Pop Airplay.
