A Bar Song (Tipsy), the hit single by Shaboozey, has officially broken records, marking its 17th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement places the track as the longest-running No. 1 song by a solo artist without any featured acts, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s Last Night, which held the top spot for 16 weeks in 2023.

Seventeen Weeks and Counting for “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey

“WHAT THE F—!” Shaboozey posted on X (formerly Twitter) upon hearing the news. “Love y’all so much! Let’s do it again.” His excitement mirrors the enthusiasm of fans who’ve kept the track on constant repeat, cementing it as one of the most popular songs of the year. With just two more weeks at No. 1, A Bar Song (Tipsy) has a shot at breaking the all-time Billboard Hot 100 record, currently held by Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road, which reigned for 19 weeks in 2019.

Shaboozey is quick to attribute the song’s success to its organic appeal. “This is kind of crazy how much the song carried on its own,” he shared in an interview. “We don’t even do anything, and it’s like, ‘Hey, you’re aiming for a 17th week now!’” Despite efforts to release a remix, Shaboozey’s team couldn’t find an approach that felt right for the song, leaving the original track as the reigning version across radio and streaming.

The track’s relatable lyrics and catchy hook have drawn in a broad audience, making it a staple on streaming platforms and radio stations alike. As one of the most talked-about songs of the year, A Bar Song (Tipsy) shows no signs of slowing down.

Shaboozey’s success with A Bar Song (Tipsy) comes alongside his recent Grammy recognition. The artist earned five nominations, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year. In his debut year, the Virginia native also took home awards for New Artist of 2024 and New Artist Song of 2024 at the People’s Choice Country Awards. As his record-breaking streak continues, Shaboozey’s rise highlights his impact on today’s music scene.
