Shaboozey lit up the Saturday Night Live stage with electrifying performances of his hits “Good News” and “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The rising star’s dynamic presence and genre-blending sound captivated audiences, showcasing why he’s one of music’s most exciting talents. Fans praised the performance on social media, calling it a standout moment for the artist’s career. Shaboozey’s SNL debut adds to his growing influence in the music industry.

Last month, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” extended atop the Billboard Hot 100 for an 18th consecutive week, edging closer to a historic milestone. The track, released under American Dogwood/EMPIRE, is just one week away from potentially tying the all-time record set by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which ruled for 19 weeks in 2019.

Debuting at No. 1 in July, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” continues to dominate across multiple Billboard charts. For the week of Nov. 8-14, it garnered 69.2 million radio airplay audience impressions (a slight 2% dip), 19.9 million streams (down 6%), and sold 6,000 units (a 16% boost).

The song retains its No. 1 position on the Radio Songs chart for a 16th week, advances to No. 2 on Digital Song Sales, and holds steady at No. 5 on Streaming Songs.

Breaking records, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has topped both the Hot 100 and Radio Songs simultaneously for 15 weeks, surpassing Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together,” which achieved 14 weeks in 2005.

This feat places Shaboozey in elite company, joining iconic tracks like Usher’s “Yeah!” (12 weeks) and Carey’s collaboration with Boyz II Men, “One Sweet Day” (12 weeks). With its staying power, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” cements its place in chart history as it eyes tying, or even breaking, the ultimate record next week.

Kendrick Lamar Blocks Shaboozey From Breaking An All-Time Hot 100 Record As A New ‘GNX’ Song Debuts At No. 1

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For the past few weeks now, all eyes have been on Shaboozey and “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” to see if the track would beat the all-time record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. As of last week, Shaboozey tied the high mark of 19 weeks set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.” One more week and Shaboozey owns the record outright, with the first song to hit 20 weeks at No. 1.

Well, that’s not happening this week.

On the new Hot 100 chart dated December 7, Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX dominates. Lamar has 7 of this week’s top 10 songs, including “Squabble Up” at No. 1, which is Lamar’s fifth chart-topper and his third of just 2024. As for “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” it has been pushed all the way down to No. 6.

That said, this doesn’t mean “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is finished its No. 1 run. This is actually the third time the track has been replaced in the top spot: Lamar’s “Not Like Us” took over for a week in July, then Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody” had a week on top in November before Shaboozey reclaimed his spot. So, if listening activity on Lamar’s new album dies down after its opening week, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” could make yet another return to No. 1 and set a new all-time high.

Watch Shaboozey’s Entire Halftime Show Performance From Bears-Lions On Thanksgiving

November 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The NFL kicked off its Thanksgiving slate on Thursday afternoon with an NFC North showdown between the Chicago Bears and the Detroit Lions. It’s a matchup between two teams that bookend the division standings — the Lions are on top, the Bears are in the basement — but part of what makes the Thanksgiving games interesting despite that is the pageantry of the whole thing.

Of course, there was CBS sending its top crew, the celebration of John Madden, and all the fun little touches that come from games taking place on Thanksgiving. And of course, while it’s not the Super Bowl halftime show, fans at the stadium and watching on television got treated to a performance while both teams made their ways into their respective locker rooms.

While Lainey Wilson is scheduled to perform during Giants-Cowboys and Lindsey Stirling is the halftime show during Dolphins-Packers, Shaboozey took the stage at Ford Field during the early game. Unsurprisingly, he performed his smash hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” along with “Last of My Kind” and “Highway.”

If you’d like to watch the full performance, you can do that right here. While Shaboozey performed, the Lions were certainly the happier of the two teams in the halftime locker room, as they held a 16-0 lead and limited the Bears to only 53 yards of total offense in the first half.

Shaboozey Is Officially Tied For The Longest-Running No. 1 Single Of All Time With ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

In recent weeks, chart watchers have been intently keeping an eye on the Billboard Hot 100, to see if Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has what it takes to become the longest-running No. 1 single in chart history. Prior to the latest chart (dated November 30), the song had been on top for 18 weeks, one shy of the 19-week record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.”

Well, the top 10 of the new chart is out now, and sure enough, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is No. 1 yet again, for a 19th total week, and has tied the all-time record. While the song is knotted for the overall record, it does extend its reign as the longest-running No. 1 song by a performer without an accompanied artist.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is excelling across the Billboard chart landscape: It’s also No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart for a 17th week and on the Hot Country Songs chart for a 23rd week.

Meanwhile, Teddy Swims just achieved a more under-the-radar accomplishment: “Lose Control,” at No. 4 this week, is in the top 10 for a 45th week, which is now the second-most of all time, behind only The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” with 57 top-10 weeks.

Shaboozey Is Now A Week Away From Tying The Longest-Ever No. 1 Run On The Hot 100 With ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in July, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became his first-ever No. 1 song. Now, it’s November, nearly December, and the song is still on top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That remains true on the latest chart, dated November 23 and revealed today.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has now been No. 1 for 18 total weeks, which means it’s just one week shy of matching the all-time record for the most weeks spent on top: 19, previously achieved by Lil Nas X and Billie Ray Cyrus’ 2019 hit “Old Town Road.” The song is also No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart for the 22nd week, the longest run this year.

Meanwhile, this week also has good news for Gracie Abrams: Her surging single “That’s So True” rises from No. 13 to No. 6 on the latest chart, making it her first-ever top-10 song on the Hot 100. Her previous high was at No. 19 with “I Love You, I’m Sorry” in October. Both songs come from Abrams’ latest album, The Secret Of Us (“That’s So True” was released on the deluxe edition). Both tracks were co-written and co-produced with Aaron Dessner.

Shaboozey, meanwhile, is starting to look towards post-“A Bar Song” life, as he just released a new single, “Good News.”

Shaboozey Is Looking For Some ‘Good News’ In A New Song From The ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Singer

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s all “good news” for Shaboozey lately.

The singer’s Grammy-nominated single, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” remains at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and is only three weeks away from breaking Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 in the chart’s history. Shaboozey also just dropped his first new single since the release of his breakthrough album, Where I’ve Been Isn’t Where I’m Going.

“Good News” has Shaboozey pining for better days. Accompanied by a somber acoustic guitar and pedal steel guitar, he sings, “I need some good news / Sittin’ here, sippin’ on cold truth / Nobody knows what I’m goin’ through / Bet the devil wouldn’t walk in my shoes.”

Shaboozey was recently asked by Billboard about how he feels receiving Grammy nominations across multiple genres, including country and rap. “It’s bittersweet for sure,” he said. “There’s a tremendous amount of talent in the country space and there are so many well-written songs that I felt also deserved that look. Country music is not yearning for talent. The beautiful thing about country music — especially some of the people who have been doing it for such a long time – is that so many people could have been out in that category.”

Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" Tops Billboard Hot 100, Breaks Multiple Records

Shaboozey’s hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” remains at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for an impressive 17th week, solidifying its place as the longest-leading No. 1 solo track in the chart’s 66-year history. This achievement surpasses Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night,” which held the top spot for 16 weeks in 2023.

Now, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” ranks as the second-longest No. 1 in the chart’s archives, trailing only Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, which led for a record-breaking 19 weeks in 2019. This new milestone cements Shaboozey’s place in music history as one of the most enduring No. 1 artists of all time.

To date, five singles have held record-breaking positions on the Hot 100, with longer reigns becoming more common since the chart began incorporating Luminate data in 1991. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the latest in this exclusive list, among 1,175 total No. 1 hits dating back to the chart’s inception on August 4, 1958.

Shaboozey Officially Has The Biggest Solo Song In ‘Billboard’ Hot 100 History As ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Is No. 1 Yet Again

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A couple weeks ago, Morgan Wallen knocked Shaboozey’s long-running No. 1 hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” off the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That didn’t last long, though, as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” made its way back to No. 1 and hit 16 total weeks, which tied it for the second-most ever.

Now, the top 10 of the latest Hot 100 chart (dated November 16) is out, and Shaboozey is No. 1 yet again. That’s 17 total weeks now, meaning “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now has sole ownership of the No. 2 spot of all time, behind Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” at 19 weeks. This means that “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is currently the longest-running No. 1 song ever by an unaccompanied artist with no features.

Elsewhere on this week’s chart, Tyler The Creator’s “Sticky” (featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red, and Lil Wayne) rises to No. 1, making it his third top-10 single. His first two came just last week, when “St. Chroma” debuted at No. 7 at “Noid” at No. 10. Neither of those songs are in this week’s top 10, though. “Sticky” is also the first top-10 single for Sexyy Red, the second for GloRilla, and the 26th (but the first in over four years) for Lil Wayne.
