Plus, Gracie Abrams achieves her first top 10 with “That’s So True.”

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” adds an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now one week away from potentially tying for the longest reign, held by Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus), which dominated for 19 weeks in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July.

The party anthem additionally extends the longest rule this year, 22 weeks, on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only seven hits to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958.

Meanwhile, Gracie Abrams makes her first appearance in the Hot 100’s top 10, as “That’s So True” blasts from No. 13 to No. 6. It also becomes the first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart for the singer-songwriter, who’s currently the sole opening act on Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Nov. 23, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Nov. 19).

Plus: TOMORROW X TOGETHER debuts at No. 2.

Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA spends a third consecutive and total week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart (dated Nov. 23). It’s the artist’s album with the most weeks atop the list, surpassing the two weeks spent at No. 1 by his previous leader, Call Me If You Get Lost in 2021-22.

CHROMAKOPIA earned 104,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 14 (down 35% in its third week), according to Luminate.

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, TOMORROW X TOGETHER debuts at No. 2 with The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY, marking the sixth top 10-charting set for the group.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Nov. 23, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 19).

Of CHROMAKOPIA’s 104,000 equivalent album units earned in its second week, SEA units comprise 76,000 (down 34%, equaling 106.87 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 28,000 (down 37%; it’s steady at No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum (down 35%).

The album continues to profit from sales generated by Tyler, The Creator’s official webstore, with the set’s vinyl, CD, and eight previously available deluxe collectible boxed sets continuing to ship to customers. The third week also saw four additional boxed sets shipped to customers. All boxed sets contain a CD, poster and another branded merch item in a branded box. All physical editions of the album are exclusively sold via the artist’s webstore.

TOMORROW X TOGETHER nabs its sixth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY debuts at No. 2. The set earned 98,000 equivalent album units in its first week. Album sales comprise 95,500 of that sum (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,500 (equaling 3.74 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across 23 CD variants (all containing collectible branded paper ephemera, some randomized), eight digital download variants (seven were exclusive to the act’s official webstore; all included bonus tracks).

The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY is the group’s second top 10-charting effort of 2024, following No. 3-peaking Minisode 3: TOMORROW in April.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet slips 2-3 on the Billboard 200 (68,000 equivalent album units earned; up 1%), Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us climbs 5-4 (52,000; up 5%) and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft spikes 7-5 (48,000; up 9%) to round out the top five.

The hit solely claims the longest rule ever for a song with no accompanying acts.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” holds at No. 1 for a 17th total week atop the Billboard Hot 100. Over the chart’s 66-year history, the song is now outright the longest-leading No. 1 ever by an artist with no accompanying acts, surpassing the 16-week command of Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” in 2023.

Overall, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” now trails only Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, in 2019, for the longest No. 1 run – 19 weeks – in the Hot 100’s archives.

Meanwhile, “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which became Shaboozey’s first Hot 100 leader in July, one-ups “Last Night” for the longest reign of the 2020s.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest rule this year, 21 weeks, on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only eight titles to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958. Plus, of hits that have topped both the Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now solely the longest-leading ever on the former, passing “Last Night.”

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky,” featuring GloRilla, Sexyy Red and Lil Wayne, jumps 14-10. It’s Tyler, The Creator’s third career top 10, all tallied in the past two weeks from his new album, Chromakopia, which posts a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Plus: Lil Uzi Vert and The Cure debut in the top five.

Tyler, The Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA secures a second consecutive and total week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Nov. 16). It’s the rapper’s first album to spend two consecutive weeks at No. 1, and second set to log at least two frames in the lead. He previously notched two nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 with Call Me If You Get Lost — separated by nine months — in 2021-22. He ruled the list with one other album, Igor, which logged one frame at No. 1 in 2019.

CHROMAKOPIA earned 160,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 7 (down 47% in its second week), according to Luminate. It’s the set’s first full seven-day tracking week on the chart, following an abbreviated debut frame of only four days, as the album was released on an off-cycle Monday (Oct. 28; most albums are released on Fridays).

Also in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 chart, Lil Uzi Vert scores their fifth top 10 set with the No. 3 debut of Eternal Atake 2, while The Cure achieves its highest charting album over 30 years, and first top 10 in over 20 years, with the No. 4 debut of Songs of a Lost World.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.

Of CHROMAKOPIA’s 160,000 equivalent album units earned in its second week, SEA units comprise 115,500 (down 27%, equaling 160.31 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs; it holds at No. 1 on the Top Streaming Albums chart), album sales comprise 44,500 (down 69%; it falls to No. 2 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum (down 3%). The set’s sales were aided in its second week by the continued sturdy sales of six deluxe collectible boxed sets (each containing a CD, poster and another branded merch item). The album’s second week got a sales boost from the release of its stand-alone CD and two additional boxed sets. All physical variants of the album are exclusively sold via Tyler, The Creator’s official webstore.

Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping Short n’ Sweet steps 3-2 with 68,000 equivalent album units earned (down 9%).

Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake 2 bows at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, marking the fifth top 10-charting set for the rapper (all of which have reached the top three). The set launches with 59,000 equivalent album units earned, of which SEA units comprise 56,000 (equaling 76.43 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), album sales comprise 3,000 and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.

The album was announced Oct. 24 and released on Nov. 1. Its first-week sales were aided by the album’s availability across seven CD variants (five with a randomized branded trading card; one with a branded T-shirt and a CD in a collectible box; and a standard CD) and a digital download.

The Cure debuts in the top five on the Billboard 200 with Songs of a Lost World, bowing at No. 4, marking the band’s highest charting album since 1992 and first top 10 since 2004. Songs of a Lost World is the group’s first album of new material since 2008. The new album is the act’s third top 10-charting set on the Billboard 200, following its self-titled effort (No. 7 in July 2004) and Wish (No. 2 in May 1992).

Songs of a Lost World bows with 57,000 equivalent album units earned (the act’s best week by units). Of that sum, album sales comprise 53,000 (The Cure’s biggest sales week since 2004, when its self-titled album launched with 91,000), SEA units comprise 4,000 (equaling 5.02 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. Songs of a Lost World also debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales; the first leader for The Cure on the 33-year-old chart. The new album’s first-week sales were bolstered by its availability across five vinyl variants (which sold a combined 23,000 copies; the band’s best week on vinyl since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991), a standard CD, a CD/blu-ray audio package, two cassettes, a standard digital download and a deluxe digital download with five bonus live tracks (exclusive to the band’s webstore).

Songs of a Lost World was released on Nov. 1, and cryptically announced in early September. The set’s title and release date were confirmed on Sept. 26, alongside the release of the album’s first cut (and first new song in 16 years), “Alone.” On Oct. 9, a second song from the set, “A Fragile Thing,” arrived. The latter track climbs 25-22 (a new peak) on Alternative Airplay and 12-10 on Adult Alternative Airplay. It’s the first charting hit for The Cure on Alternative Airplay since 2008 and the band’s highest-charting song since 2004’s “The End of the World” reached No. 19. On the Adult Alternative Airplay ranking, “Fragile” is the act’s third charting song ever (dating to the chart’s 1996 start), and first to reach the top 10.

Gracie Abrams’ The Secret of Us rises 7-5 on the Billboard 200 with 50,000 equivalent album units (up 2%).

Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess pounces 12-6 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (up 5%), following the singer’s performance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live (Nov. 2). On the show, she sang the album’s “Pink Pony Club” and a new track, “The Giver.” Princess was last in the top 10 on the Oct. 26-date list when it ranked at No. 6.

Plus, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” hits a new No. 2 high and Tyler, the Creator notches his first two top 10s.

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” rebounds a spot for a 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, matching the longest reign of the 2020s. The song, which became the singer-songwriter’s first leader in July, matches the domination of Morgan Wallen’s “Last Night” – like “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” a country-pop crossover smash – in 2023.

Over the Hot 100’s entire 66-year history, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is now tied for the second-longest command, among just five hits to have led for at least 16 weeks. Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, ruled for a record 19 weeks in 2019.

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” additionally extends the longest No. 1 run this year – 20 weeks – on the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart. It’s one of only nine titles to reach the milestone since the survey became the genre’s all-encompassing songs chart in 1958.

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” rises 4-2 for a new high, aided by three new versions and sale-pricing during the tracking week.

Plus, Tyler, the Creator notches his first two Hot 100 top 10s: “St. Chroma,” featuring Daniel Caesar – the week’s most-streamed song – debuts at No. 7 and “Noid” soars 43-10. Both are from his new album, Chromakopia, which launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.
