As a gamer who’s been spinning tracks since the days of Dance Dance Revolution, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe at the boundary-breaking success of Shaboozey and his genre-blending masterpiece, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”. The fact that this song has managed to tie with Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ iconic “Old Town Road” is nothing short of incredible.
The blend of rap and country music proves to be highly successful, as demonstrated by Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” achieving the same milestone in the Billboard charts as Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road.
The tune ‘A Bar Song’ has been reigning supreme on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for its 19th consecutive week, matching the record set by ‘Old Town Road.’ This duet between Lil Nas X and Cyrus first achieved this remarkable feat in 2019 and took home two Grammy Awards for their collaboration.
The song “Shaboozey’s Anthem,” a remix using J-Kwon’s 2004 track “Tipsy,” has spent its 23rd week at number one on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. This tune is up for three Grammy awards, including Song of the Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance. Last week, “A Bar Song” was nominated for Single of the Year at the CMA Awards but was beaten by Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse.” Unfortunately, Shaboozey missed out on the New Artist of the Year award, which many found surprising, as Megan Moroney took home the prize instead. This news sparked a buzz on social media.
Shaboozey’s other Grammy nominations are for Best New Artist and Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Spaghetti,” one of his collaborations on Beyoncé’s album, “Cowboy Carter.” This album significantly increased his popularity when it was released in March, causing a surge in his streaming and social media statistics. Eventually, “Spaghetti” surpassed Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” on the country charts, making history as the first time that two successive Black artists held the No. 1 spot on the country charts in Billboard history.
For him, it was quite beneficial that many people noticed him at once, thanks to Beyoncé. At that point in time, her spotlight on him significantly boosted his debut. Not only did she magnify what he was already achieving, but it’s truly remarkable coming from someone as influential and historically significant as her,” he expressed to The Hollywood Reporter in June. “It’s fascinating to observe how far country music has spread since Beyoncé undertook her project. It’s intriguing to see the music gain popularity across the globe.
