Shaboozey’s ‘Bar Song’ Breaks Hot 100 Records With a 17th Week at No. 1; Tyler, the Creator Tops Album Chart for Second Week

Nothing seems able to tip “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” from the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Shaboozey‘s smash is now enjoying its 17th week at No. 1, and broke a couple of records by hitting that mark, with still another crucial one in sight of being toppled.

One record that was newly set, according to Billboard, is that “Bar Song” now has the high mark for the greatest number of weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 by an artist with no accompanying guest features.

If you expand the field out to include all songs, the Shaboozey tune’s 17 weeks at the top now trail only the 19 weeks logged by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’s collaboration on “Old Town Road.” If “Bar Song” can hold on for three more weeks, it will break the last record there is to be broken.

The other record “A Bar Song” breaks this week is for the most weeks at No. 1 by any song in this decade… since “Old Town Road” had its massive run back in 2019. Shaboozey managed to do that this week by surpassing the 16 weeks that Morgan Wallen had at the top with “Last Night” last year.

It didn’t hurt Shaboozey’s ability to stay on top that there were no new releases able to have a big enough impact to even debut in the top 10 of the Hot 100 this week. And the Nos. 2-4 songs from last week also held on to those exact same spots this week: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” in second place, followed by Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.”

The remainder of the top 10 also includes a lot of familiar fare, with Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” moving up just one spot to No. 5 (giving the long-running tune its first Top 5 placement since April). It trades places with Post Malone and Wallen’s “I Had Some Help,” dropping one slot to No. 6. The top 10 is rounded out by Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things,” Wallen’s “Love Somebody,” and Tyler, the Creator’s “Sticky,” featuring GloRilla, Sexxy Redd and Lil Wayne. Last week, that Tyler song debuted at No. 14, and it moves up to No. 10 this frame, even as two other cuts of his that debuted in the top 10 previously drop out.

Things are only slightly less static on the album chart. Tyler. the Creator’s “Chromakopia” spent a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 160,000 equivalent album units, a decline of 47% from its blockbuster opening a week before.

Two albums did have big openings: Lil Uzi Vert’s “Eternal Atake 2,” in at No. 3 with 59,000 units, and the Cure‘s “Songs of a Lost World,” bowing at No. 4 with 57,000. Lil Uzi Vert is accustomed to this kind of action, but the Cure hadn’t had an album debut in the top 10 in more than two decades.

Holdovers in the top 10 include Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet” bouncing back up a spot to No. 2 with 68,000 units. Also back on the rise is Gracie Abrams’ “The Secret of Us,” up two spots to No. 5 on the strength of a deluxe edition that includes a fast-rising single.

Chappell Roan’s debut moved up six spots to No. 6 after her much-discussed “SNL” appearance. Eilish jumps a couple of spots to No. 7 with her album, followed by Rod Wave, Taylor Swift and Wallen.
