Shaboozey Releases Highly Anticipated Album 'Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going'

Country music’s rising star Shaboozey has unveiled his eagerly awaited album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, via EMPIRE. The album’s single, “My Fault” featuring Noah Cyrus, showcases a stunning blend of their strong vocals harmonizing over an intricate acoustic guitar melody.

“This album means the world to me, it’s a reflection of my journey and the stories that shaped me,” said Shaboozey. “Growing up in Virginia, music was our way of speaking truths and finding joy, and I tried to capture that in every track. It’s a blend of all my experiences, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. I hope when y’all listen, you feel that same connection and authenticity. It’s not just an album, it’s a piece of my soul, and I’m grateful to share it with you.”

The album boasts collaborations with notable artists Paul Cauthen, Noah Cyrus, and BigXthaPlug. Shaboozey’s star continues to rise as he cements his place in mainstream culture. His latest anthem, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” certified platinum by the RIAA, currently sits at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and previously peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart. This milestone makes Shaboozey and Beyoncé the first two Black artists to lead the chart with back-to-back #1 songs. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has amassed over 300 million streams and achieved Top 10 status in several countries, including #1 spots in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK’s Big 40.

Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going marks Shaboozey’s most ambitious work to date. The Virginia-bred singer/songwriter takes listeners on a cinematic road trip through the American West, bringing depth to his storytelling while further exploring the country/folk-inspired sound. The album includes streaming juggernaut and critically acclaimed singles “Let It Burn,” the haunting heartbreak track “Anabelle,” and the sing-along ready “Vegas,” all of which have given fans a taste of the highly awaited project.

With this album, Shaboozey solidifies his position as a singular new voice in the music scene, promising universal acclaim and a significant impact on the country music landscape.

When Will Shaboozey’s ‘Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going’ Be On Spotify?

In Shaboozey’s two-minute album trailer for Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, a man is all alone in the country, except, try as he might, he can’t comically escape Shaboozey’s omnipresence. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is on every radio. A flyer for a Shaboozey tour is on the post. There’s Shaboozey again, photographed in the newspaper. Finally, Shaboozey shows up in the flesh and politely waves at the man, who is likely the only person not looking forward to a Shaboozey album.

Shaboozey is ten years deep in the music game, but 2024 is undeniable his breakout year. The Virginia-born country artist gained countless new fans as a featured artist on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter. He likely retained those fans and gained even more with “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” his now-ubiquitous April single that peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

So, Shaboozey is primed to have one of the most popular albums of the year in Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

Shaboozey’s New Album ‘Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going’: Everything To Know, Including The Release Date, Tracklist & More

by

Shaboozey can already chalk 2024 in the win column. The Virginia-bred genre-bending country artist was featured twice on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. “SPAGHETII” with Linda Martell and “SWEET HONEY BUCKIN’” peaked at No. 31 and No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively, but Shaboozey’s highest-career Hot 100 mark was earned solo. Shaboozey’s dropped “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” in mid-April, and since then, the unfairly catchy single peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100, spent three weeks at No. 1 on Country Streaming Songs, and inched toward the top of several other Billboard charts.

It all set the stage for Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going. Find everything you need to know about Shaboozey’s upcoming album below.

Lil Nas X Is ‘Happy’ For The Country Music Success Of Beyoncé And Shaboozey, But Feels Left Out

Country music is having a moment, and unsurprisingly, there are some new faces at the forefront of its breakthrough, — faces like Beyoncé’s, Shaboozey’s, and Tanner Adell’s. However, there’s one pioneer in the genre who doesn’t quite feel like he got the same love as they’re receiving now.

In a May 19 interview with BBC, Lil Nas X said that he was “happy” for the country music successes of artists like Beyoncé and Shaboozey, but that he feels a little left out. “I wish this would have happened for me,” he said. “I wasn’t even able to experience this.”

Nas appears to be referring to the reception of his breakout hit “Old Town Road,” which despite breaking records on the Billboard Hot 100 as the longest-running No. 1 ever, was never truly embraced by the country music establishment. The song was actually pulled from the country music chart initially for not sounding “country” enough, and received a chilly reception from country radio programmers. It did go on to win a CMA Award, but not without controversy.

And while Beyoncé may have had a rough road onto those country trails, it took far less fussing and fighting for her single “Texas Hold ‘Em” to enter country airplay after her label reviewed its metadata, and her album Cowboy Carter was widely well-received, landing at No. 1 in its first week despite the big change in sound for Beyoncé.

Lil Nas X Has Surprising Take On Beyonce & Shaboozey’s Country Music Success

by

Lil Nas X’s mainstream reign began with the rap-country crossover hit “Old Town Road,” one that feels very distinct from his career trajectory today. While this remains the longest-running No. 1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history with 19 weeks, the divisiveness that this track caused in the country and rap space was often hostile. The Georgia native faced a lot of backlash for it, a curious contrast to how other Black artists’ forays into country, namely Beyoncé’s and Shaboozey’s, got praise five years later. Speaking to BBC, he reflected on how he feels about their success when compared to his own experience with genre-blending.

“I wish this would have happened for me,” Lil Nas X told the outlet on Sunday (May 19), clarifying that he’s “happy” for Beyonce and Shaboozey regardless of his thoughts on the matter. “I wasn’t even able to experience this.” Not only that, but he also told BBC that he’s been “trying out some country [sounds] here and there over the last couple of years.” “I want to feel connected to it and not force it,” the MONTERO artist added.

Of course, Lil Nas X went on to develop his career in many other genres, whether it’s indie or commercial stylings of pop, rock, R&B, hip-hop, and even folk. For example, his recent collaboration with Camila Cabello, “HE KNOWS,” caught pretty positive reception leading up to her upcoming pop album, so we’ll see what happens with that. Still, it’s very natural to see how “Old Town Road” simply arrived at a more difficult time for genre crossovers. Regardless of its reception and prompted debates on impact, it partially paved the way for Beyonce and Shaboozey to fully challenge the notion that Black artists should be boxed into certain musical styles.

Meanwhile, Queen Bey might be prepping a tour soon, which obviously has fans very excited. Hopefully she and Lil Nas X, along with Shaboozey, can foment more collaboration between a myriad of Black artists, especially those in country that are experiencing a lot of due acclaim right now. Would this result in an even bigger hit in the same vein as “Old Town Road,” “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” or “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”? Only time will tell.

It’s An ‘Eras Tour’ Hot 100 As Taylor Swift Stays At No. 1 And Sabrina Carpenter Hits A New High This Week

Every week, Billboard unveils the top 10 songs on the latest Hot 100 chart. The most recent rankings, for the chart dated May 11, are out now, so let’s run down who had this week’s biggest hits.

10. Taylor Swift — “Down Bad”

Last week, Taylor Swift had the top 14 songs on the Hot 100. She’s cooled off a bit this week, with only three songs in the top 10, including “Down Bad.”

9. Taylor Swift — “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart”

“I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” is one of the other two to survive in the region from Week 1 to 2. It’s the album’s second-most streamed song on Spotify so far with over 117 million plays.

8. Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar — “Like That”

Kendrick Lamar has released what feels like a thousand Drake diss tracks since “Like That,” but this one is still going strong in the top 10 this week. This is one of many songs returning to the top 10 this week following Swift’s dominant frame.

7. Hozier — “Too Sweet”

“Too Sweet” is officially the biggest song of Hozier’s career, as it topped the Hot 100 for a week in April. It’s no longer at No. 1 but it’s sticking around at No. 7 this week.

6. Teddy Swims — “Lose Control”

Swims hasn’t lost control has his breakout hit, a former No. 1, remains near the top of the Hot 100 chart.

5. Benson Boone — “Beautiful Things”

Boone’s “Beautiful Things” was the biggest non-Swift song on last week’s Hot 100, a status it didn’t manage to maintain this week thanks to some milestone achievements from other artists.

4. Sabrina Carpenter — “Espresso”

It’s starting to feel like the summer of Sabrina. After Carpenter’s “Espresso” became her first top-10 Hot 100 hit in April, it’s now her first top-5 song with its No. 4 placement this week. Between Swift and Carpenter, songs from performers on The Eras Tour make up four of the top 10 songs.

3. Shaboozey — “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”

Shaboozey has been blowing up since landing an appearance on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. His own “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has become a hit in its own right and is now his first top-10 song on the Hot 100.

2. Tommy Richman — “Million Dollar Baby”

As for Richman, this is his first Hot 100 hit period, and it debuted all the way up at No. 2. This is the highest debut for a song with no prior Hot 100 experience since Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North Of Richmond” opened at No. 1 last summer.

1. Taylor Swift — “Fortnight” Feat. Post Malone

Despite all the impressive newcomers, it’s a pair of familiar faces occupying the top spot this week. Swift and Malone’s The Tortured Poets Department single debuted at No. 1 last week, and now it has held onto its place for a second frame.

Shaboozey Swears He ‘Ain’t Changin’ For A Check’ On ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy),’ Which All Bars Should Play On A Loop

by

Shaboozey was largely introduced to the world as a featured artist alongside Linda Martell on “SPAGHETTII” from Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, a country-centric magnum opus that promptly became Beyoncé’s eighth career No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. The Virginia-born artist is showing his newfound fans why he deserves their attention beyond his affiliation with Queen Bey.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey’s new single, is an unfairly catchy country ditty that will have listeners bopping along to the beat and nodding along to relatable lyrics in equal parts. Shaboozey laments his ever-growing list of expenses and wonders aloud, “This 9-to-5 ain’t workin’ / Why the hell do I work so hard? / I can’t worry about my problems / I can’t take ’em when I’m gone.”

Once the chorus hits, Shaboozey seeks a good time to take his mind off his harsh realities at the local bar: “Pour me up a double shot of whiskey / They know me and Jack Daniel’s got a history / There’s a party downtown near 5th Street / Everybody at the bar gettin’ tipsy.” As the song progresses, he swears he “ain’t changin’ for a check” and admits to waking up still drunk at 10 a.m., but that won’t stop him from regrouping to do it all again because it’s too much fun. Who doesn’t love good, clean escapism?

Shaboozey Wants Latto So Bad That He Doesn’t Care She’s Already Taken

by

For a long time now, the hip-hop community has assumed a relationship between Latto and 21 Savage, although it seems like Shaboozey didn’t get the memo. Moreover, he recently quote-tweeted a mirror selfie that she posted on the social media platform, with a very simple and hard to misinterpret message: “Hiii.” When fans pointed out that the Clayton County MC is already (presumably) taken, the Fairfax native wasted no time in doubling down. “Why they ain’t never post each other???” he responded to a fan who pointed this out, whereas when another user told him to “Focus,” he simply said, “I’m focused… on her.”

Overall, this unabashed thirsting was as comical as it was upfront, and it had a cheeky enough energy to it to lend itself well to Latto’s sense of humor if she were to respond to Shaboozey. What’s more is that this is kind of an ironic time to thirst for her considering her participation in Megan Thee Stallion’s twerking challenge. The 777 artist had previously said that she needed her man’s approval before jumping into the viral trend, and the results did not disappoint many folks online. So it seems like, even at peak heat, this relationship stays strong and unwavering.

Shaboozey Shoots His Shot With Latto

Meanwhile, the “SWEET HONEY BUCKIIN’” rapper, singer, and songwriter is far from the first male celebrity to try to shoot their shot at Latto. Few before him have been as funny in the process, though, due to the blunt nature of the advance and for addressing the elephant in the room. If she wants to keep her personal life private, that’s entirely and reasonably within her right, but it also means that there will be plenty of people unable to stop themselves before shooting their shot. We’d bet that the 25-year-old doesn’t mind the attention either way.

Elsewhere, she defended Lizzo amid her retirement, encouraging her to stop listening to the trolls and to keep moving forward. This is an inverse of how the two artists had supported each other years prior, resulting in a full-circle moment. We’ll see what develops in that regard, or if any more suitors appear to get a rude awakening. For more news and the latest updates on Shaboozey and Latto, log back into HNHH.
