Ever wondered what the most played song is in the United States on jukeboxes? According to TouchTunes, that song is Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which leads the jukebox service’s first ranking of music available on its platform.
“A Bar Song” tops the TouchTunes Frontline Chart, which ranks music released in the last 18 months, for the second quarter of 2024 (covering April 1-June 30). It’s also the most played song among the entire catalog of songs available on TouchTunes (besting all songs on the TouchTunes Catalog Chart, which ranks any music released longer than 18 months ago).
That’s after first-quarter (January-March) data that saw Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey” the platform’s most played song and No. 1 on the Catalog ranking. The song remains No. 1 on the second-quarter Catalog tally and the second most played song overall behind “A Bar Song.”
“A Bar Song” tops the Frontline chart despite not even being available for the entire three-month period; it was released on April 12. The track has reigned on Billboard’s multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for five weeks through the latest list, dated July 20, and reached the all-genre Billboard Hot 100’s summit for one frame (July 13). It’s No. 2 on the newest Hot 100, as previously reported, via 69.5 million in airplay audience, 41.5 million official U.S. streams and 21,000 downloads sold, according to Luminate.
“Tennessee Whiskey” was released in 2015 and is featured on Stapleton’s Traveller album from that year. It’s remained a popular song to stream, let alone play on TouchTunes jukeboxes; the tune has spent a record 447 weeks on Billboard’s Country Streaming Songs chart.
Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” ranks behind “A Bar Song” as No. 2 on the Frontline list. Released in June 2023, the song – which crowned the Hot 100 for a week in March – sported an 18% in plays quarter over quarter, according to TouchTunes.
Post Malone’s Morgan Wallen-featuring “I Had Some Help” bows at No. 3 on the Frontline chart, while Wallen’s own “Last Night” and Luke Combs’ “Fast Car” rounds out the top five.
Of note, four of the top five are country songs. That genre domination coincides with TouchTunes’ data on all frontline songs on the platform; in quarter two, 36% of plays were for country songs, 16 percentage points more than the next closest genre (rap, 20%).
Including catalog, that percentage drops to 23% of the entire platform for country, based on a 21% share of all catalog titles. It’s nonetheless the second highest performing genre among all catalog songs, behind rock, which nabs 41% (and 38% of all songs). That’s despite the entire top six of the Catalog chart being country music; after “Tennessee Whiskey” comes Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” at No. 2, with Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places,” Jelly Roll’s “Son of a Sinner” and Hardy’s “Truck Bed” rounding out the top five.
The highest ranking rock song on Catalog is Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls,” which appears at No. 7.
Wallen boasts the most songs between the two surveys: eight (two on Catalog, six on Frontline). The Frontline sum includes his featured role on Malone’s “I Had Some Help.”
“Music superfans of all genres use the jukebox to curate shared listening experiences,” John Stephen, TouchTunes head of music partnerships and audience, tells Billboard. “From introducing a new generation to classics from icons like Garth Brooks and Van Morrison, to spotlighting current sensations such as Shaboozey and Benson Boone, TouchTunes unites people through music in over 60,000 locations nationwide.”
