Nigerian-American musician, Collins Obinna Chibueze, popularly known as Shaboozey, has broken another series of records in the United States with his hit song ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy).’

The song is now officially the most streamed song in the U.S in 2024, according to music monitoring platform, Chart Data.

It surpassed Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ & Benson Boone’s ‘Beautiful Things’ to become the best selling song in America this year.

‘Tipsy’ has also become the longest running #1 single of 2024 on the Hot 100 (7 weeks).

It surpassed ‘I Had Some Help’ by Post Malone and Morgan Wallen.

Earlier in July, Shaboozey joined Beyoncé as the only Black artist to simultaneously top the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts.

His song ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ dethroned ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ by Beyoncé as the number one song on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart this week.

It also marks the first time in history two Black artists have led the chart back-to-back.

Shaboozey was featured on the Cowboy Cater Album By Beyonce.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the country music star noted that working with Beyoncé changed his life.
