Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ & Morgan Wallen Dominate 2024 Year-End TouchTunes Rankings

Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” isn’t just one of the longest-running No. 1s of all time on the Billboard Hot 100; it was also the most-played song on TouchTunes jukeboxes for 2024, TouchTunes announced on Tuesday (Dec. 10).

“A Bar Song (Tipsy),” which was released in April, was an immediate hit on the company’s jukeboxes, allowing it to reign as the most-played song of the year despite not being available for the first quarter of the year. In July, Billboard began partnering with TouchTunes to present a pair of quarterly charts – the Frontline and Catalog rankings – and Shaboozey’s tune has ranked at No. 1 on the Frontline survey for both iterations so far.

According to TouchTunes, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” is the first Frontline song (defined as music released in the past 18 months) to be its most-played year-end music on its jukeboxes since Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey,” which was released in 2015.

(Naturally, Stapleton’s rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey” remains a perennial favorite; it’s the second-most-played song on TouchTunes for the year.)

“A Bar Song (Tipsy)” has spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 between July and November, tying the song with Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, for the longest reign on the tally in its history.

Shaboozey was also the 10th-most-played artist on TouchTunes in 2024. The distinction of No. 1 goes to Morgan Wallen, whose music dots the collection of most-played songs on TouchTunes for the year. Along with being featured on Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” the No. 5 song of the year, his own “Last Night” is No. 8, and he’s featured on six of the top 50 most-played songs of the year in all. “I Had Some Help,” “Last Night” and his “Cowgirls,” featuring ERNEST, are also Nos. 3-5 for the most-played songs in the Frontline category of the year.

The No. 2 in the Frontline category also happens to be the only non-country song in the top 10 of the overall ranking: Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control,” which ends the year as the third-most-played song overall. The pop track topped the Hot 100 for a week in March and boasts a monstrous 45 weeks in the top 10, second-most all time behind The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”

One must scroll to No. 11 to find the most-played rock song of the year, Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.” Even still, the rock genre remains the most-consumed genre on TouchTunes, with the company reporting that 38% of its plays were rock songs in 2024. Country music follows with 24%. Comparatively, rock had 39% in 2023, while country had 23%. Other genres that saw gains year over year include hip-hop (up 2% to 14%) and pop (up 1% to 11%).

The entire top nine of the year was performed by soloists; the first duo or group to appear comes in at No. 10 via Brooks and Dunn’s “Neon Moon.” AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck,” which ranks at No. 31, is the highest-performing song of the year for the veteran rockers, who rank as TouchTunes’ most-played band of the year.

Taylor Swift ends the year as the most-played solo woman on the platform, with the top song from a woman being “Save Me,” Lainey Wilson’s duet with Jelly Roll.
