Shaboozey was one week away from tying Morgan Wallen’s record. Morgan’s new song stopped it from happening.
Shaboozey’s mega-hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” had a 15-week run going at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. If it could hold that spot for another week, it would tie Morgan Wallen’s song “Last Night” which dominated the chart in 2023.
However, Morgan’s new song “Love Somebody” stopped the tie from happening. Morgan’s song debuted this week at the top of the chart.
Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus hold the all-time record as their song “Old Town Road” sat at the top of the chart for a 19-week run.
Morgan and Shaboozey can be proud of the fact that they are on an elite list of artists. In the 66 years the Billboard Hot 100 Chart has been around, only 4% of the #1 songs have stayed there for a double-digit run of weeks.
