Shaboozey is officially a Billboard chart-topping artist. Two weeks after debuting on Billboard’s charts for the first time via two featured appearances on Beyoncé’s LP Cowboy Carter, the singer-songwriter jumps from No. 34 to No. 1 on the Emerging Artists chart (dated April 27) thanks to his new single “A Bar Song (Tipsy).”
Released April 12 on American Dogwood/EMPIRE, the song debuts at No. 6 on the Hot Country Songs chart and No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 with 10.7 million streams and 10,000 sold through April 18, according to Luminate. It also launches at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales and Country Digital Song Sales charts. Shaboozey’s three No. 1s mark his first three Billboard chart coronations.
The song is the lead single from the Virginia native’s album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, due May 31. He previously released the sets Lady Wrangler in 2018 and Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die in 2022.
Just before releasing “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey gained widespread exposure as a co-lead on Beyoncé’s “Spaghettii” (also with Linda Martell) and “Sweet * Honey * Buckiin’,” both from her album Cowboy Carter. The collection spends a third week at No. 1 on Top Country Albums and ranks at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 after logging its first two weeks at No. 1.
Regarding Beyoncé’s new album, Shaboozey recently told Billboard that he’s “so happy to have such a powerhouse of an artist that chose to take this journey to country, so it’s amazing to be a part of that.”
