Shaboozey scores first No 1 Billboard song

The song is the first single in history to break the top 10 on Country, Pop, Adult Pop, & Rhythmic Airplay Charts

Country music’s hottest rising independent act Shaboozey notches his first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and top 10 breakthrough on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart with his double platinum country anthem, and song of the summer “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Shaboozey makes history with the first ever single to reach the top 10 on all four charts — Billboard’s Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay, and the second ever single by a black artist to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Country Songs Charts.

EDM juggernauts Alesso and David Guetta have remixed the track for two versions, available now. Primed for dance floors globally, the tracks put a high-energy spin on a song already making a statement and effectively taking its appeal to new heights.

Last week, the rising star announced the first leg of his 2024 Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going headlining tour, with a run of shows spanning the country. The expansive Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going run sees Shaboozey playing his largest venues to date, kicking off in Minneapolis and making stops in Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, and more before wrapping up in Winnsboro, South Carolina.

Shaboozey’s performances are one-of-a-kind, selling out and packing audiences past maximum capacity while maintaining an intimate atmosphere and connecting with his fans. In addition to three sold-out performances in New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles this past May, he’s currently performing a highly successful run of festival performances including recent sets at Stagecoach, Roots Picnic, Capital Summertime Ball, and most recently, CMA Fest which included performances at Nissan Stadium (his debut stadium performance) and the Good Molecules Reverb Stage, effectively shutting down the surrounding area. This coming weekend, he will be making his debut performance at the BET Awards on Sunday, June 30th.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is currently in its seventh week in the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is in its ninth week on the chart overall. It peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Song of the Summer Chart. He and Beyoncé also made history as the first two black artists to lead the chart with back-to-back No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The song has also amassed over 550 million streams and landed in the Top 10 in several countries globally with No. 1s in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK’s Big 40. Heading into music’s busiest season, the track has solidified itself as a top contender for 2024’s Song of the Summer.

Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going is the most boldly realized work yet from a singular new voice on the music scene, with a strong debut at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 upon release. The Virginia-bred singer/songwriter charts a cinematic road trip through the wilds of the American West, bringing a powerful new depth to his storytelling while pushing further into the country/folk-inspired sound he’s explored in recent years. Streaming juggernaut and critically acclaimed single “Let It Burn,” the haunting heartbreak track “Anabelle,” and “Vegas,” a sing-along-ready single straight from the Wild West, were the first tracks from the album to give fans a taste of the highly awaited project – one primed for universal acclaim.
