How Did Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Become the Second-Longest-Running Hot 100 No. 1 Ever?

Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" enjoys its 17th week at No. 1 this week -- but will it be able to beat the all-time record of 19 weeks?

Country has now fully made the crossover leap to pop radio — at least at the highest level of hits — and once you get both of those formats working for you, you can stay in the mix for the Hot 100’s top spot practically indefinitely. Consistent streaming and sales also have been part of the Shaboozey formula, of course, but without that continued radio support it would’ve been lucky to crack double-digit weeks on top, rather than pushing for the all-time Hot 100 record. The first six months of 2024 were stuffed with blockbuster singles, and a lot of them nestled in for extended runs in the top 10 of the Hot 100 throughout the summer and early fall, while “A Bar Song” kept outpacing them thanks to its own growth across formats.
