Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now the second biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit ever, surpassing “The Twist” and eyeing “Blinding Lights” for the all-time crown.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” continues to shatter expectations on the Billboard Hot 100. This week, the smash single surpassed Chubby Checker’s “The Twist,” moving into the No. 2 spot among the biggest hits on the Hot 100 of all time. The Virginia-born artist has already made waves for blending country and hip-hop into one of the most infectious songs of the decade, but this latest milestone places him in elite company.

The track, which has spent 19 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, has dominated streaming platforms and radio alike, proving its staying power in a competitive market. Fans across genres have embraced “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”, driving its cultural relevance far beyond the charts. It’s a rare moment where a song transcends categories, appealing to both hip-hop fans and country listeners with equal force.

What’s next? If projections hold, Shaboozey is set to dethrone The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” after next week’s chart update on September 20, 2025, officially becoming the biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit of all time. For Shaboozey, it marks not just personal triumph but also a shift in what mainstream audiences crave—genre-fluid, universally resonant anthems.
