Shaboozey Began A Historic Run On The Hot 100 A Year Ago
Shaboozey's breakout hit 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 a little more than one year ago, kicking off what would become one of the longest and most remarkable reigns in chart history. After a short stay at the summit, the cut returned and began a historic run. At the time, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' already seemed like a surprise smash, but 12 months later, the real story is the cut's staying power. The genre-blending smash is still thriving inside the top 10 on the Hot 100, while simultaneously living toward the top on several other Billboard tallies. What once felt like a fluke has turned into one of the biggest hits of its era. A Rare Country Handoff at No. 1 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' first hit No. 1 on the chart dated July 19, 2024, and at the time, it replaced another country crossover track — Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's 'I Had Some Help.' That handoff was rare enough, as it's uncommon for country cuts to rule, let alone for two to do so back-to-back. The following week, Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' took over, as it debuted at No. 1. Just one frame later, on the chart dated July 27, Shaboozey was back on top, starting a winning streak that would eventually tie a major Billboard record. Shaboozey Matches a Historic Record By the end of its reign, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' had racked up 19 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, including 14 stints in the top spot in a row. That tied the all-time record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus's 'Old Town Road' in 2019. Like that earlier blockbuster, Shaboozey's hit blurred genre lines, mixing pop, rap, and country into a hybrid sound that resonated with millions of Americans, and which proved remarkably durable. Beyoncé Helped Pave the Way Before 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' exploded, Shaboozey had already caught the attention of the masses as a featured artist on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter. His contributions to 'Spaghettii' and 'Sweet Honey Buckiin'' introduced his voice to a massive audience and hinted at the potential for a solo breakout. When 'Tipsy' arrived around the time of Cowboy Carter, his pairing rowdy barroom energy with country roots and hip-hop swagger connected instantly. Still a Chart Force a Year Later Now, more than 15 months into its chart run, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' is still a giant hit. It currently sits at No. 8 on the Hot 100 and remains a top 10 title on several of Billboard's country rankings. What began as an unexpected crossover moment has become one of the most consistent performers in history — and given how it's holding up, Shaboozey's smash may not disappear for months.

Post Malone Claims A New Longest-Charting Hit
Post Malone's 'I Had Some Help' with Morgan Wallen becomes his longest-charting Hot 100 hit at 62 ... More weeks, passing 'Circles' by one frame.

(Photo by Lorne Thomson/Redferns) For years, Post Malone found incredible success in the music industry by switching genres. He first emerged as an exciting new name in the hip-hop space, collecting multiple diamond-certified smashes. He then pivoted again and conquered the charts once more with pop hits that are still played on the radio today. Most artists struggle to score several wins in one field, let alone several, but the Grammy nominee is an outlier, as he's not afraid to mix things up, and his fan base is along for the ride. His biggest hit of all – one which reaches an important number this week – is the one that helped him jump into the country space, which made quite the splash upon its arrival. "I Had Some Help" Becomes Post Malone's Biggest Hot 100 Hit When Malone was preparing to release his first country album F-1 Trillion, he fronted the project with a superstar collaboration alongside Morgan Wallen. Malone dropped "I Had Some Help" in mid-2024, and the tune was an immediate smash. That track now becomes Malone's longest-running hit on the Hot 100 as it earns its sixty-second stay on the tally. "I Had Some Help" Beats 'Circles' "I Had Some Help" was tied last week as Malone's longest-charting Hot 100 single, matching "Circles" with 61 frames on the list. Now, the duet pushes past the pop favorite, and it's not likely to disappear anytime soon. "I Had Some Help" is still present inside the top 20 on the Hot 100 this week, dipping from No. 14 to No. 19. The tune could rebound, after several newer arrivals begin to descend or disappear entirely, and it seems likely that the collaboration will further its lead over Malone's own "Circles" and continue its reign as his longest-running hit for some time. Morgan Wallen Nearly Matches the Same Feat The same single is also tied as Wallen's longest-charting Hot 100 success story, matching the 62 weeks that "You Proof" managed a few years back. In just a few days, when Billboard publishes its rankings again, it's likely that Wallen will see "I Had Some Help" beat "You Proof" for good.
