Call a doctor because everyone in the bar has now been drunk for a historically long time. Shaboozey’s genre-bending megahit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a 16th straight week, Billboard reports. It ties the record for the second-longest stretch at #1.

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” set the record for most weeks atop the Hot 100 with 19 in the halcyon pre-COVID days of 2019, when the idea of ​​a song racing up the charts of TikTok, still felt. novel. “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now ties three other songs for second place: Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” (2023); Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” (2017) and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” (1995), which was the longest-running #1 hit for 24 years before Lil Nas X appeared.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now surpasses Harry Styles’ “As It Was” (2022) 15-week chart run to become the longest-running hit single credited to just one artist, without features. However, Mariah Carey’s 1994 seasonal favorite “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” one of eight songs tied for 14 weeks at #1, could easily rack up more weeks atop the chart this holiday season. The streaming era is wild!

Elsewhere in the chart’s upper reaches, Tyler, The Creator has his first two top 10 hits as “St. Chroma” with Daniel Caesar debuts at #7 and “Noid” jumps from #43 to #10 in its second week. Tyler’s previous Hot 100 peak was #13 with “Earfquake” in 2019. Rumblings last week suggested “St. Chroma” could have challenged for #1 if new album Chromacopywhich fell at 6 ET last Monday, had not been released amid a tracking week.

The work with only half a week of statistics did not stop Chromacopy from posting the sixth-biggest debut in 2024. As of Billboardthe album amassed 299,500 equivalent album units. Streams alone, which totaled 157,000 units (equivalent to 212.55 million on-demand track streams), would have been enough to place the album at #1, but it also sold 142,000 copies and added 500 more units through individual track sales. Better luck next time, racist ass Swifties!

Halsey’s The great impersonator debuted at #2 with 93,000 units.
