Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has made waves in the music industry, securing its position at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for an impressive 13 weeks. This remarkable streak has cemented the track as the longest-running No. 1 single of the year, more than doubling the tenure of the next contender, “I Had Some Help” by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen, which managed just six weeks at the top.
A Major Achievement for Shaboozey
Shaboozey, a Virginia-born singer-rapper, has captivated listeners with his catchy lyrics and vibrant sound. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has racked up 76 million radio airplay audience impressions in the latest tracking week, according to data from Luminate. This achievement not only highlights the song’s widespread appeal but also positions Shaboozey as a strong candidate for potential Grammy nominations at the 2025 ceremony. Chris Willman, chief music critic for Variety, has pointed out that Shaboozey could be a contender in categories such as Best New Artist and Record of the Year.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Chart-Topping Streak
Alongside Shaboozey, Sabrina Carpenter is making history on the charts. Currently on her first headlining arena tour, Carpenter has dominated the Hot 100 with three simultaneous top 10 singles: “Espresso” at No. 5, “Taste” at No. 9, and “Please Please Please” at No. 10. This impressive feat marks her as the first artist in a decade to maintain such a presence on the chart, joining the ranks of music heavyweights like Drake, Cardi B, and Justin Bieber. Carpenter’s breakthrough year continues as she showcases her talent and growing popularity.
Billboard 200 Snapshot
Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” also shines brightly, holding its position at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the fourth nonconsecutive week. The album has shown considerable staying power and, apart from a brief hiatus at the top, quickly reclaimed its position after Travis Scott’s “Days Before Rodeo” and Future’s “Mixtape Pluto” briefly occupied the spot.
In terms of album rankings, the rest of the top 10 includes:
- 2. Chappell Roan – “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”
- 3. Future – “Mixtape Pluto”
- 4. Morgan Wallen – “One Thing at a Time”
- 5. Billie Eilish – “Hit Me Hard and Soft”
- 6. Post Malone – “F-1 Trillion”
- 7. Taylor Swift – “The Tortured Poets Department
- 8. Noah Kahan – “Stick Season”
- 9. Zach Bryan – “The Great American Bar Scene”
- 10. Morgan Wallen – “Dangerous: The Double Album”
Additionally, Lady Gaga’s newly released album titled “Harlequin,” soundtrack to the awaited movie “Joker: Folie à Deux,” made an entrance at No. 20 on the Billboard 200.
Noteworthy Debuts
The music scene also welcomed The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, who debuted at No. 3 on the Hot 100 this week. Their entry into the top ranks proves once again the evolving nature of popular music and the ever-changing dynamics of the charts.
Conclusion
The current state of the Billboard charts highlights the diversity and talent within the music industry today. Shaboozey’s extraordinary run at No. 1, combined with the impressive achievements of Sabrina Carpenter and notable entries like Lady Gaga and The Weeknd, showcase a vibrant landscape of sound. As artists continue to innovate and engage their audiences, music lovers can look forward to more exciting developments in the coming weeks.
