Stepfon Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" bounds to No. 1 from No. 6 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart (dated May 4). The song, which interpolates J-Kwon's 2004 hip-hop classic "Tipsy," marks the first leader on the list for the Virginia native (born Collins Obinna Chibueze). "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" surged by 95% to 20.9 million official U.S. streams; 1,202% to 170,000 radio airplay audience impressions; and 48% to 14,000 sold April 19-25, according to Luminate. Notably, as Shaboozey dethrones Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em," which reigned for the past 10 weeks, two Black artists have led back-to-back for the first time since Hot Country Songs became an all-encompassing genre ranking in 1958. A week earlier, Shaboozey soared to No. 1, from No. 34, on the Emerging Artists chart and "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" topped Digital Song Sales and Country Digital Song Sales, marking his first coronations on Billboard's charts. He adds a second week atop Emerging Artists, while the track paces Country Digital Song Sales for a second frame. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Amazing achievement. Justice for Old Town Road being removed prematurely from the Country Songs chart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comedor Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 She achieved what she wanted, the return of black artists to country charts. Oh what a legend you are BKC. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossip_Boy Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 As someone who is black and likes country music this makes me extremely happy. I hope this will open the door for even more Black Country artists to become mainstream. There's some great ones out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainsskyscrapers Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) I want "Sorrys Don't Work No More", "I Ain't A Cowgirl", and a "Buckle Bunny" remix with either B or Megan Thee Stallion to appear next, as well as K Michelle, Blanco Brown, Reyna Roberts, and Willie Jones' contributions. I can't wait for this wave to become a deluge. Edited May 1 by trainsskyscrapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
