The reigning Billboard king for 15 weeks, Shaboozey, has finally fallen to number 2 this week on the Hot 100. Billie Eilish has also slipped to the number 3 slot as Morgan Wallen is back at number 1. However, it’s not with Post Malone this time. It’s a completely different song that kicked Sabrina Carpenter’s hit, “Espresso” back down to number 5. So, what’s the deal with this new country hit? How did it skyrocket to number 1 so quickly and what is it about? We’ve got the full Billboard scoop for you, so let’s discuss it.
Top Billboard 3: Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish‘s romantic hit, “Birds of a Feather” has slipped into the number 3 slot this week. While the track peaked at number 2 for the past two weeks, it’s taken a backseat alongside Shaboozey’s “Bar Song (Tipsy)” to make way for Morgan Wallen’s new hit. However, this song’s appeal should never be discounted. It’s a well-written, heartfelt ballad that has reached millions through the power of TikTok. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising to see Eilish push to the top of the Billboard charts in the coming weeks.
While “Birds of a Feather” isn’t the featured single from Eilish’s latest album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, it’s certainly made an impact. It has continuously outperformed the album’s feature, “Lunch” since the full album’s release. Perhaps this is because listeners relate more to the soft, romantic feeling behind “Birds of a Feather” while “Lunch” is more confident and heavy in theme. Eilish also holds number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her song, “Wildflower”. If you want to see her live this week, Eilish is doing two shows in Atlanta, GA before heading to Nashville, TN.
Top Billboard 2: Bar Song (Tipsy) by Shaboozey
Our king, Shaboozey’s song, “Bar Song (Tipsy)” has finally been pushed to number 2. After fifteen long weeks of reigning as the Billboard number 1 hit, it was finally knocked down. This surprise dethroning has come as a shock, but all good things must end eventually. “Bar Song (Tipsy)” is still incredibly popular though, with genre fusions and callbacks to its origins. Shaboozey based this track on J-Kwon’s “Tipsy”, a hip-hop anthem of the mid-2000s. Of course, this brings in listeners young and old to vibe with this luscious country emulation.
Shaboozey’s popularity isn’t just because of this song, though. His entire discography is unique. He’s a fresh face to the music industry, blending hip-hop, country, and pop. “Bar Song (Tipsy)” is just the tip-of-the-iceberg of Shaboozey’s many talents. his full album featuring the song, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going showcases some of his best work. It fuses trap beats and country tropes. It’s no secret that this guy deserved every bit of his 15-week number 1 streak. If you’re keen to see Shaboozey live this week, he’s doing concerts in Charlottesville, VA, Charleston, WV, and Cincinnati, OH.
Top Billboard 1: Love Somebody by Morgan Wallen
Finally, let’s talk about Morgan Wallen‘s brand-new hit that has jumped straight to the top, “Love Somebody“. This heartbreaking track describes the pessimism that comes with being hurt more than once. It’s a plea to meet someone kind for once. If we’ve learned anything from Wallen’s previous song with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help”, he’s been through some rough break-ups. “Love Somebody” feels like a sequel to that song, as it describes moving on, but feeling pretty hopeless about it.
So, why is this song, number 1? Well, it could be that fans of Wallen are riding the hype of a newly released track. On the other hand, listeners may genuinely resonate with the song’s theme. Many of us have been scorned, after all. Regardless, it’s impressive that country music is in the Billboard Top 3.
It’s even more exciting seeing it happen twice to the same artist. Remember, Wallen and Malone’s track had its time in that number 1 spot. Overall, we’re loving the genre growth in the Hot 100 lately. If you’d like to see Morgan Wallen in concert, he isn’t performing this week. However, his European tour begins on December 1st, starting with Portsmouth, UK.
In Conclusion
It’s surprising to see a brand-new country song suddenly take the number 1 Billboard hit. However, Wallen deserves the slot, as he’s been continuously putting out hits for the past few years. The popularity of “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone has barely waned. His song is still just below the top 3 at number 6.
Shaboozey and Billie Eilish, however, are still holding their own, even if demoted just slightly. Their staying power is strong, as even Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”, MTV’s Song of the Year, has dropped to number 5. Will Wallen remain at the top or will another artist take the crown next week? Only time will tell.
