Nigerian-American singer Collins Obinna Chibueze, known as Shaboozey, has made headlines by achieving a historic feat on the US Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. His track “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has claimed the number one spot, dethroning Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
This achievement is significant as it marks the first time in history that two consecutive Black artists have led the chart. The announcement, made by American music statistics company Chart Data on social media, underscores Shaboozey’s rising prominence in the country music scene.
tShaboozey’s hit single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has surged from its position at Number 6 to claim the top spot on the chart, displacing “Texas Hold ‘Em” after its ten-week reign.
Released on April 12, Shaboozey’s song has swiftly climbed to Number 1 in just two weeks, marking a remarkable ascent on the charts. Expressing his gratitude on Instagram, the artist conveyed his disbelief and appreciation for the achievement, especially coming from a small town in Northern Virginia.
He expressed his heartfelt thanks to his fans, acknowledging that this success is just the beginning of his journey in the music industry.
This milestone comes shortly after Shaboozey’s collaboration with Beyoncé on two tracks from her latest album, Cowboy Carter, further solidifying his influence and impact in the music industry.
