Shaboozey has officially made Google tipsy. The “A Bar Song” singer was just named Top Song Sales Artist at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, but the hooky beat looks to be reaching beyond music player speakers.

- “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 weeks.
- He also performed his new song “Highway” during the Fox telecast.
