"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" tied "Old Town Road" as the longest-running number-one song of all time on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 19 weeks at the top of the chart, the most for a song by a solo artist. It is nominated for Song of the Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, with Shaboozey also being nominated for Best New Artist.

Release and composition

[edit]

Shaboozey released "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" on April 12, 2024. The song interpolates J-Kwon's 2004 single "Tipsy".[5] Lyrically, the country rap and pop song is about a narrator who is frustrated from hard work at his job, and takes out his frustrations by drinking alcohol at a bar and having fun.[6][2][7] The song is in the key of F♯ minor and is in common time, with a tempo of 81 beats per minute. The chord progression includes F♯m–A–D–E.[8][1]

There were also remixes released, from Swedish DJ Alesso and French DJ David Guetta.

Critical reception

[edit]

Chris Molanphy of Slate wrote that "A Bar Song" "fuses the kid-friendly counting lyrics from J-Kwon’s original rap hit ... with more adult concerns that reflect our current national malaise" and "is at once digitally savvy, culturally old-school, and as American as a trucker hat".[9] Ashley Pointer of NPR described the song as having an "infectious hook encapsulating a rowdy energy made for celebrations and singalongs".[10]

Commercial performance

[edit]

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" charted at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs. As it succeeded Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" at the top, this was the first time in history that two black artists held the number-one position there in consecutive weeks.[11] This song made Shaboozey the first male black artist to chart at number one on Billboard's Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts at the same time; Beyoncé had previously become the first black artist to do so with "Texas Hold 'Em".[12] The song also made Shaboozey the first male black artist to chart at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts at the same time. In addition, it spent seven weeks at number one on the latter chart, surpassing the record for the longest-running number one debut single previously set by Carrie Underwood's "Jesus, Take the Wheel", which spent six weeks at the top in January–February 2006.[13] The song spent 25 weeks at number one on the Canadian Hot 100, breaking the record for the longest-running number one hit ever on the chart set by "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus in 2019.[14]
