SHABOOZEY TOPS BILLBOARD HOT 100
Country music’s hottest rising independent act, Shaboozey (American Dogwood / EMPIRE), notches his first #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 and top 10 breakthrough on Billboard’s Country Airplay Chart with his 2X RIAA-certified platinum, country anthem and song of the summer “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Shaboozey makes history with the first ever single to reach top 10 on all four charts: Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay, and the second ever single by a Black artist to top both the Billboard Hot 100 and Country Songs Charts.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is currently in its ninth week in the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and its twelfth week on the chart overall. It peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and debuted at #3 on Billboard’s Song of the Summer Chart upon release earlier this year. He and Beyoncé also made history as the first two Black artists to lead the chart with back-to-back #1 songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The song has also amassed over 700 million streams and landed in the Top 10 in several countries across the world with #1s in Australia (becoming the first independent single to reach #1 on the Australian Recording Industry Association charts this year) Canada, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK’s Big 40. Heading into music’s busiest season, the track has solidified itself as a top contender for 2024’s Song of the Summer with the backing of the Associated Press, Billboard, Esquire, and NYLON, among others.

The expansive run, with sold-out performances across all markets, sees Shaboozey playing his largest venues to date, kicking off in Minneapolis and making stops in Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles. Later this fall, he will join Jelly Roll as one of the opening acts on his “Beautifully Broken Tour,” playing to arena-sized audiences across the southern and midwestern US.

In addition to three sold-out performances in New York, Nashville, and Los Angeles this past May, he’s currently performing a highly successful run of festival performances including recent sets at Stagecoach, Roots Picnic, Capital Summertime Ball, and CMA Fest, which included performances at Nissan Stadium (his debut stadium performance) and the Good Molecules Reverb Stage, effectively shutting down the surrounding area.

ABOUT SHABOOZEY
Rising multi-faceted artist Shaboozey is building his own world, carving his lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, Shaboozey grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing everything from classic hip-hop and R&B, to country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. A true crossover artist, he began his epic 2024 run in March with two standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER—the only artist with multiple appearances on the album. His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed masterpiece Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised in The New York Times for “bring[ing] hip-hop grit to country.” The album’s smash single “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which is 2X RIAA-certified platinum and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, launched him to mainstream stardom and has become the song of the summer. With the meteoric rise of “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey and Beyoncé became the first Black artists to score back-to-back leaders in the Billboard Hot Country Songs’ 66-year history. True to his Virginia roots, Shaboozey aims to continue the region’s long-standing tradition of prolific creativity, this time by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop and introducing modern Americana to a global audience.
