Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ Tops Country Airplay, Marking Its First Radio Chart Crown

Shaboozey scores his first No. 1 in his first appearance on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” ascends to the top of the tally dated Aug. 3. It increased by 14% to 31.4 million audience impressions July 19-25, according to Luminate.

The song by the Virginia native (born Collins Obinna Chibueze) interpolates J-Kwon’s 2004 hip-hop classic “Tipsy,” having helped it become the first song to go top 10 on the following charts: Country Airplay, Rhythmic Airplay, Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay. Notably, the Country Airplay coronation for “A Bar Song” is its first on any airplay ranking. (It bullets at its Nos. 4, 5 and 6 highs on Rhythmic Airplay, Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay, respectively.)

Plus, “A Bar Song” marks the first Country Airplay No. 1 for an artist with an initial entry on the chart since Warren Zeiders’ “Pretty Little Poison” led in March.

On lists dated July 27, “A Bar Song” spent its sixth week at No. 1 on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart and a second frame atop the all-genre Billboard Hot 100.

‘Chevrolet’ Pulls Into Top 10

Dustin Lynch’s “Chevrolet,” featuring Jelly Roll, rides into the Country Airplay top 10 (11-10; 19 million, up 5%).

With the song, which updates Dobie Gray’s iconic hit “Drift Away,” Lynch adds his 12th top 10 on the survey and first since “Stars Like Confetti” hit No. 2 last November. He earned his eighth and most recent leader when “Thinking ‘Bout You,” featuring MacKenzie Porter, began a six-week domination in December 2021.

Jelly Roll nets his fifth career-opening Country Airplay top 10, following four consecutive No. 1s; “Halfway to Hell” became his latest leader in June. He has an additional track on ranking, as his newest solo single, “I Am Not Okay,” rises 18-17 (10 million, up 13%).
