    Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" makes Billboard Chart history

    By Sabrina Moreno,

    Virginia singer Shaboozey has snagged the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts for "A Bar Song (Tipsy)."

    Why it matters: He's the first Black male artist, and the second-ever Black artist, to top both charts.


    The first was Beyoncé with "Texas Hold 'Em," which is featured on "Cowboy Carter" — an album Shaboozey makes not one, but two appearances in .

    • And fun fact: When the Fairfax native knocked Beyoncé off the No. 1 spot of Billboard's Hot Country chart this year, it was the first time in history two Black artists held that title back to back.

    The big picture: "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," played nearly half a billion times on Spotify since its April release, is Shaboozey's first No. 1 hit.

    • It's also the first single in history to be in the top 10 on country, pop, adult pop and rhythmic charts, per USA Today .

    What they're saying: "WE DID IT YALL. WE NO. 1. I LOVE Y'ALL," he wrote on X on Monday. "HAPPY A BAR SONG DAY. TAKE A DOUBLE SHOT OF WHISKEY 4 ME!"
