Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” adds an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now one week away from potentially tying for the longest reign, held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), which dominated for 19 weeks in 2019.
“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July.
The party anthem additionally extends the longest rule this year, 22 weeks, on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only seven hits to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958.
Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams makes her first appearance in the Hot 100’s top 10, as “That’s So True” blasts from No. 13 to No. 6. It also becomes the first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart for the singer-songwriter, who’s currently the sole opening act on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour.
The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Nov. 23, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Nov. 19).

She has notched two prior top 40 hits: “Us.,” featuring Taylor Swift (No. 36 peak, July), and “I Love You, I’m Sorry” (No. 19, October).
Notably, as airplay builds for “That’s So True,” Abrams appears on Billboard airplay charts with two other songs, both on the original and deluxe editions of The Secret of Us: “Close to You” ranks at No. 23 on Pop Airplay (after hitting No. 21) and “I Love You, I’m Sorry” places at No. 40 on Adult Pop Airplay (after reaching No. 36).
“That’s So True” concurrently surges 7-1 to become Abrams’ first leader on Streaming Songs.
Abrams has opened on over three dozen dates of Swift’s The Eras Tour, serving as the sole opener for all shows since Oct. 18; she is also set to be the only supporting act for the remaining dates of the groundbreaking tour through Dec. 8.

Here’s a recap of every opening act on The Eras Tour that has hit the Hot 100’s top 10 since the tour began; all have done so this year, and after not previously reaching the top 10:
