    Shaboozey ’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” adds a third week at No. 1 to its Billboard Hot 100 tab. The single became the singer-songwriter’s first leader on the chart three weeks earlier.

    The song, on American Dogwood/EMPIRE (with country radio promotion by Magnolia Music), is from the Virginia-born artist’s album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going , which debuted at its No. 5 high on the Billboard 200 in June. It has spent two weeks at No. 1 on Americana/Folk Albums and reached No. 2 on Top Country Albums.

    The track also became the first by a Black man, and second by a Black artist overall, after Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” earlier this year, to top both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts. “It’s a sign of the times – genres are merging, styles are blending and the audience’s music taste is broader than ever,” EMPIRE COO Nima Etminan recently told Billboard . “Artists don’t need to be put in boxes – whether it be by race, genre or eras. Good music is good music and the listeners largely get to dictate the charts.”

    Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Teddy Swims ’ former No. 1 “Lose Control” reaches a notable mark, tying for the 10th-most weeks spent in the bracket by any song so far in the 2020s.

    The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Aug. 3, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, July 30.

    “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” continues atop the Hot 100 with 85.1 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 10%, good for top Airplay Gainer honors for a fourth week), 37.3 million official streams (down 4%) and 15,000 sold (down 7%) in the United States July 19-25.

    The track rebounds 2-1 for a second week atop the Streaming Songs chart, following a frame on top three weeks earlier; keeps at its No. 2 high on Radio Songs ; and likewise holds at No. 2 after nine weeks ruling Digital Song Sales .

    Reflecting its wide sonic appeal , “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which interpolates J-Kwon’s 2004 hip-hop classic “Tipsy,” became the first song ever to go top 10 on all four of the following Billboard radio charts, where it continues to gain: It jumps 3-1 on Country Airplay – marking its first airplay chart domination – and 5-4 on Rhythmic Airplay and keeps at its Nos. 5 and 6 bests on Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay , respectively.

    “It’s important that Shaboozey has been able to show that you can do that as an independent artist,” Heather Vassar, senior vp of operations for EMPIRE in Nashville, told Billboard . “We had several offers from majors who wanted to work the record and it was really important that we were able to stay true to how we operate.”

    “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” concurrently tops the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a seventh week.

    Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100 following six nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 beginning in May. It leads Radio Songs for a fifth week (85.5 million, up 1%) – as it ascends to No. 1 on Pop Airplay – and shines atop the multimetric Songs of the Summer chart for a ninth week.

    Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100, two weeks after it returned to the summit for a second frame on top . It tops the multimetric Hot Rap Songs chart for an 11th week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a ninth week.

    Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” repeats at No. 4 on the Hot 100, after hitting No. 2, as it banks a 13th week atop the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart.

    Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” keeps at No. 5 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 3, and her “Please Please Please” dips 6-7, after it became her first No. 1 in June. She claims a seventh week with multiple songs in the top 10, extending her mark for the most among all artists this year.

    In between Carpenter’s two top 10s, Hozier’s “Too Sweet” rises 7-6 on the Hot 100, following a week at No. 1 in April. It commands the multimetric Hot Rock Songs and Hot Alternative Songs charts for a 17th week each and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs for a 16th week.

    Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which led for a week in March, is steady at No. 8 on the Hot 100, as it logs a key milestone: It ties for the 10th-most weeks tallied in the top 10 this decade.
