Shaboozey Honoured at Toronto Concert as 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' Hits 16 Weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Canadian Hot 100

Shaboozey has this year's longest-running No. 1 hit on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 with "A Bar Song (Tipsy), and this past weekend he got to celebrate it in a big way.

At his concert at Danforth Music Hall on Friday (Sept. 13), he welcomed Billboard Canada's President Mo Ghoneim, National Editor Richard Trapunski, and Jackson Turner onstage to present him with a plaque for the achievement.

"This is crazy man, this is nuts," he said, raising the plaque triumphantly as the crowd cheered. "Y'all did it first!"

Shaboozey played the hit three times a row during his encore, with the crowd loving every second of it.

The song has now spent 16 weeks atop the Canadian Hot 100, surpassing last year's 15 weeks for Miley Cyrus's hit "Flowers." Lil Nas X has the current record at 19 weeks for "Old Town Road." Shaboozey only needs three more weeks to tie it and four more to beat it.

"Let's see if we can do it," said the country star in his green room before the show, sitting backstage next to a portrait of Charley Crockett.

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" hit No. 1 in Canada before the U.S. Hot 100, where it currently sits at 10 weeks at No. 1.

"I guess you guys got a lotta drinkers here, huh?" he joked, when asked why the song was resonating in Canada. "It just shows that you guys love to have fun. Every day is a celebration when people are listening to this song."

The song is an ode to forgetting your troubles with a double shot of whiskey that interpolates rapper J-Kwon's 2004 song "Tipsy." An addictive country song that plays with elements of hip-hop and is easy to sing along to, "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" has shown to unite different kinds of listeners and get airplay in a variety of different radio formats. It clearly has a lot of staying power.
