Although it is one of the ways to measure popularity, reaching the top of the Billboard charts is a significant accomplishment for any artist. Every week from Friday to Thursday, the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart ranks the top songs based on sales, online streams (audio and video), and radio airplay. The following is a list of the top 3 songs for the week of September 21, 2024.
Top 3 Billboard: Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter
Espresso is a song by Sabrina Carpenter from her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet (2024). The song came out on April 11, 2024, through Island Records as the album’s lead single. Espresso is Carpenter‘s first top-ten single and her highest peak on the chart at the time. Espresso peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, spending 22 weeks on the chart.
Espresso, Carpenter’s new song, is making a lot of people hum. Since it came out, the hit has been going up the charts. This was just over a month before she made her debut as a musical guest on the season finale of Saturday Night Live with host Jake Gyllenhaal. That catchy, happy chorus that goes “I’m working late, ’cause I’m a singer” has gone viral, making it the perfect song for beach parties and getting you in a good mood for the day.
Top 2 Billboard: I Had Some Help
Post Malone is in his country era. On May 10, the “Rockstar” singer released his new single, I Had Some Help, featuring Morgan Wallen. In the upbeat country song, the duo sang about a breakup and how they wished their partners would accept more responsibility for the end of their relationship. This song was the first single from Malone’s sixth studio album, F-1 Trillion. It is now the second-longest-running number-one song in 2024, having held the position for six nonconsecutive weeks.
Nevertheless, I Had Some Help debuts number two on the Hot 100 this week. The song has attained absurd numbers in streams, sales, and radio play. I Had Some Help is Malone’s sixth number-one hit and Wallen’s second. Malone is also the first artist to ever have a number-one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. The song is Malone’s second number-one single in four weeks, following Fortnight, his collaboration with Taylor Swift.
Top 1 Billboard: A Bar Song (Tipsy)
A Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey has been number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for ten weeks in a row and 22 weeks altogether. The song, from the singer-songwriter and record producer’s new album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, received 76.8 million radio airplay listens. A Bar Song (Tipsy) also has 29.3 million official streams and sold 10,000 units in the United States during the week ending September 12. Since then, A Bar Song (Tipsy) has stayed at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for the longest time in 2024.
The song also charts to No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart, but it falls to No. 2 on the September 21 Digital Song Sales chart. A Bar Song (Tipsy) is Shaboozey’s first Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit. It is also the first time a black man’s song has topped both the Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs charts. Before that, Beyoncé was the first Black artist of any gender to do that with Texas Hold ‘Em.
Wrapping Up
Since 1958, when Ricky Nelson’s Poor Little Fool became the first number-one hit, the Billboard Hot 100 has been tracking the most popular music in the world. Since then, more than 1,100 songs have made it to the top, but Billboard’s method has changed as the music business and technology have grown. The Hot 100 measures all types of streaming (official audio and official video) in the United States, as well as radio airplay and sales.
