Shaboozey dominates Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated Sept. 14) for a milestone seventh week with “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” The song drew 28.2 million audience impressions at the format (down 2%) Aug. 30-Sept. 5, according to Luminate. The track by the Virginian (born Collins Obinna Chibueze) surpasses Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (six weeks at No. 1, 2006) as the longest-leading hit to establish a country career (counting acts’ first Country Airplay entries as a lead artist or their initial songs promoted to country radio).
