The track by the Virginian (born Collins Obinna Chibueze) is only the sixth country career-establishing No. 1 at the format to reign for five or more weeks (counting acts’ first Country Airplay entries as a lead artist or their initial songs promoted to country radio). It joins the elite company of 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),” on American Dogwood/EMPIRE, with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music, concurrently hits No. 1 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. As it also led Pop Airplay for two weeks, it becomes just the second song ever to top Country Airplay, Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay (dating to the lists’ 1990s inceptions) – with both having reigned since June. It follows Post Malone’s Morgan Wallen-featuring “I Had Some Help,” which led Country Airplay for four weeks in June-July; Pop Airplay for two weeks this month; and Adult Pop Airplay for one week, also this month.

‘She’s’ Top Three

Plus, Drew Baldridge’s “She’s Somebody’s Daughter (Reimagined)” hits a new Country Airplay best, rising 5-3 (27.9 million, up 13%). The track, which the singer-songwriter and KKGO Los Angeles air talent co-penned (it updates his 2019 original ), marks another new record high for a self-released single. One other such song has reached the top 10: Aaron Watson’s “Outta Style,” which hit No. 10 in December 2017.
