2024 could potentially be remembered as the year of the "Tipsy Bar Song" by Shaboozey.
No tune seemed to be as inescapable as Shaboozey's straightforward country-pop track detailing a double shot of whiskey after a tough workday. By blending fiddle with a rhythmic stomp-clap sing-along and a recognizable hip-hop harmony, the song claimed a place in music history this year by leading charts and amassing countless streams.
As 2024 comes to a close, let's delve into the extraordinary success of "Tipsy Bar Song" — statistically speaking.
19 Weeks at No. 1
"Tipsy Bar Song" first grabbed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in July and held it for 19 weeks, on and off.

Hitting the 19-week mark in November, "Tipsy Bar Song" tied 2019's viral hit "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus for the most weeks at No. 1 on the 66-year-old Hot 100 chart.
1 Billion Spotify Streams
Late in December, "Tipsy Bar Song" joined the coveted "Billions Club" on Spotify, marking one billion streams on the platform. A feat that often takes songs years to achieve, "Tipsy Bar Song" achieved the billion mark approximately eight months after its debut in April.
