2024: “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey
For the second year in a row, a country song ruled the summertime charts.
Virginia native Shaboozey burst onto the mainstream in March 2024, thanks to prominent features on Beyoncé’s album “Cowboy Carter.” (Shaboozey is credited as a featured artist on both “Spaghettii” and “Sweet Honey Buckiin.'”)
Shortly after “Cowboy Carter” arrived, Shaboozey released “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” a classic foot-stopper that interpolates J. Kwon’s 2004 club hit “Tipsy.”
The single caught fire on country radio and racked up digital sales, leading to an eight-week reign on the Billboard Hot 100 — the year’s longest streak at No. 1 as of Labor Day.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” even managed to hold the top spot when Sabrina Carpenter, arguably the biggest breakout star of 2024, unveiled her much-anticipated new album “Short n’ Sweet.” (That week, Carpenter took No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 on the Hot 100 with “Taste,” “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso,” respectively, while “Short n’ Sweet” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.)
