Lady Gaga fans (affectionately called Little Monsters) are roaring in shock on Monday (November 25) after news broke that Shaboozey‘s breakout hit, ‘A Bar Song,’ edged out her smash ‘Die with a Smile‘ in this week’s tight race for the Hot 100 championship.
In what was expected to be the week Gaga and Bruno Mars‘ megahit finally ascended to the Hot 100 throne, ‘Bar’ beat them to the punch and landed a historic 19th week in the pole position instead.

- Sales ≈ 8,000 digital downloads
- Radio Airplay ≈ 69.5 million audience impressions
In addition to increased attention brought on by CMAs backlash, ‘Bar’ was also discounted to .69 on iTunes over the sales tracking period.

…ok, Now it’s time for him to COME OUT so he can enjoy 3 more weeks at #1 👏🏽
Great news! Good for him, the disdain that some people feel against others just based on their race makes it even more enjoyable to see them win!
By the way, Gaga’s song was also discounted to .69 cents along with instrumental and sped up versions being released during the tracking period, all at the discounted rate according to Billboard.
i’m tired of this song
Terrible f****** song
I hope and pray he gets one more week so LNX can no longer have the title. He don’t deserve it honestly. I’ll take Shaboozey holding the record any day. At least LNX can’t say he solely holds it. Bring on another #1 for Boozey!
