Shaboozey talks about the success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” on the Hot 100, who he’s been listening to and more at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.
Shaboozey:
Charting on the Billboard charts is super important to me. It’s definitely something I feel like it has, like, a long-standing history. And being able to have a song, or, you know, have a couple songs this year, you know, finally break that. It just shows that, you know, it’s a testament to all the hard work and dedication and sacrifice we just put in. I really think it’s been a really cool year for music.
Listen to our Sabrina Carpenter. Listen to a lot of, you know every Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, Chappell Roan, Beyoncé, but yeah, just a lot of, just my friends. You know, it’s really cool to be able to listen to your friends, or like to, you know, to start with something. And we have this respect for each other. But there’s been so much good music I can’t say, you know, one artist and my taste jumps around a lot.
Having the longest charting song is crazy. Last year, I remember just checking out some of just looking at the charts and just being like, “Man, I would love to have a song, you know, even just enter in for me, having my first Hot 100 entry this year, my first two, and getting the longest No. 1.” It’s pretty cra… I don’t know if that’s ever happened before, making history has always been like a big thing for me, and just having an impact as an artist and as a human being. So it just shows that I didn’t let my childhood self down.
