Shaboozey Breaks Record For Most Weeks Spent on Canadian No. 1 at 20 weeks with A Bar Song (Tipsy)

Have you heard A Bar Song by Shabbozey? Of course you have. It’s been the number 1 on the Canadian Billboard hot 100 for 20 weeks now, a new record. Beating out another country song, Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road Ft. Billy Cyrus, which held the previous record for 19 weeks as the number one song in Canada. A record that stood for over 5 years.

This is the first time in the Canadian Billboards hot 100 history that a song has held the top spot, since it was launched in 2007. It was knocked back to #2 on two separate occasions as Eminem’s Houdini and Morgan Wallen’s I Had Some Help Ft. Post Malone both held the 1 spot. But A Bar Song continues to dominate as it finds its way back to the top and breaks a record on its way.

For comparison, the longest tenured Canadian artist to sit at #1 in the Canadian hot 100 is Justin Bieber with his feature on Luis Fonsi’s and Daddy Yankee’s Despacito, which sat at #1 in Canada for 16 weeks. 

Billboard Canada presented Shabbozey with a plaque for his number 1 song in the country during his show on September 13th, at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto Ontario. “Y’all did it first!” Exclaimed Shaboozey, who went on to perform the song 3 more times during his encore, with the crowd loving every second. 

The song seems to be resonating a lot in Canada, as it seems you can’t go to a restaurant, event, on social media or of course a bar, without hearing the Virginia natives smash hit. “I guess you guys have a lot of drinkers, huh?” joked Shaboozey when he was asked why he thinks the song is holding up so well north of the border. 

First charting on the week of May 11th, 2024, all together now the song has spent a total of 26 weeks on the Canadian hot 100 chart. Shaboozey is also making history on the U.S. Billboard charts, as with its 14th week on top of the charts. It has tied at second with Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk as well as Los Del Rio’s Macarena for the most week at #1 for longest rookie reign. Lil Nas X continues to hold the record for 19 weeks, but anything seems possible at this point.

This song continues to be inescapable, no matter where you go. And it will look to go for 21 weeks at #1 when next week’s chart comes out.
