Will Rising Hits From Sabrina Carpenter, Shaboozey or Tommy Richman Be Able to Unseat Taylor Swift Atop the Hot 100?
Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" leads the challengers looking to unseat Taylor Swift's "Fortnight" at No. 1 on the Hot 100 next week.
Shaboozey, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” (American Dogwood/EMPIRE): As Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter continues to reel in the accolades, its widespread influence on pop culture is already undeniable. Perhaps the most obvious and immediate impact it has had is in the breakthrough success of country artist Shaboozey, who was a collaborator on two of the chart-topping album’s tracks and who just weeks later is already enjoying a crossover hit growing to near-”Texas Hold ‘Em” size, with the celebratory (if slightly melancholy) “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The breakout hit, which interpolates chorus and verse hooks from J-Kwon’s 2004 pop-rap classic “Tipsy,” is one of the only climbers on this week’s Swift-stuffed Hot 100, rising 36-27 on the chart despite the 20 Tortured Poets songs debuting above it.
