Shaboozey‘s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has now led the Hot 100 songs chart for 13 weeks, easily reigning as the longest-running No. 1 single of the year. “A Bar Song” holds more than double the weight of Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help,” or the second longest-running single of the year, with six weeks total.

A country and pop radio hit, “A Bar Song” totaled 76 million radio airplay audience impressions in the latest tracking week, per data from Luminate. The song’s milestone success makes the Virginia-born singer-rappera promising candidate for a Grammy nomination at the 2025 ceremony. Chris Willman, Variety‘s chief music critic, notes Shaboozey as a probable nominee in the best new artist and record of the year categories.
