Chart Check [Hot 100]: Shaboozey’s ‘Bar Song’ Becomes the First Hit by an African American to Spend Over 50 Weeks in the Top 10

Published: Tuesday 6th May 2025 by Rashad

Shaboozey‘s breakout hit, ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy),’ has given him yet another reason to raise a glass thanks to accomplishing yet another history-making milestone on the Billboard Hot 100.

Having already crashed Billboard record books when ‘Bar Song’ became the longest-running solo #1 hit in the Hot 100’s 66-year history last year, the Nevin Sastry-produced cut is continuing its chart domination well into 2025.

Enjoying its 55th print on the all-genre hitlist this week, the J-Kwon-sampling Country tune is found at #5 on the updated edition of the tally – a historic feat as 51 of its 55-week-run were spent in the Hot 100’s top 10.

On the all-time list, Canadian hitmaker The Weeknd‘s ‘Blinding Lights‘ (57) and Teddy Swims‘ ‘Lose Control‘ (60) are the only two songs in history to have had a longer tenancy in the chart region – making Shaboozey (born Collins Chibueze) the first African American to cross the 50-week threshold.
