Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Tops Country and Adult Pop Airplay Charts

Shaboozey dominates Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated Aug. 31) for a fifth week with “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The song drew 29.8 million audience impressions (down 2%) from Aug. 16-22, according to Luminate.

The track by the Virginian, also known as Collins Obinna Chibueze, is only the sixth country career-establishing No. 1 at the format to reign for five or more weeks. It joins the ranks with Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (six weeks, 2006), Gretchen Wilson’s “Redneck Woman” (five, 2004), Uncle Kracker’s “When the Sun Goes Down” (with Kenny Chesney; five, 2004), Blake Shelton’s “Austin” (five, 2001), and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Achy Breaky Heart” (five, 1992).

“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” released under American Dogwood/EMPIRE with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music, also hits No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. After leading the Pop Airplay chart for two weeks, the song becomes just the second ever to top Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, and Adult Pop Airplay charts. The only other song to achieve this feat is Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen. “I Had Some Help” led Country Airplay for four weeks from June to July, Pop Airplay for two weeks this month, and Adult Pop Airplay for one week this month.

Additionally, Drew Baldridge’s “She’s Somebody’s Daughter (Reimagined)” hits a new high on the Country Airplay chart, rising from 5 to 3 with 27.9 million impressions, up 13%. The track, which the singer-songwriter and KKGO Los Angeles air talent co-wrote, updates his 2019 original and sets another record high for a self-released single. The only other self-released song to reach the top 10 was Aaron Watson’s “Outta Style,” which hit No. 10 in December 2017.
