Shaboozey notches his second top 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart as “Good News” rises two spots to No. 10 on the list dated July 19. The song increased by 18% to 19.3 million audience impressions July 4-10, according to Luminate.
Shaboozey co-wrote the song with Sean Cook, Michael Pollack, Sam Roman, Nevin Sastry and Jake Torrey. It’s from Shaboozey’s album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which arrived at its No. 2 high on Top Country Albums and No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard 200 in June 2024; it has earned 1.8 million equivalent units in the United States through July 3.
Shaboozey’s rookie entry, the multi-genre smash “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” dominated Country Airplay for seven weeks beginning last August — surpassing Carrie Underwood’s “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (six weeks at No. 1, 2006) as the longest-leading hit on the chart ever to establish a country career (counting acts’ first Country Airplay entries as a lead artist or their initial songs promoted to country radio).
“A Bar Song” also ran up 45 weeks atop the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart starting in May 2024. It claimed the longest command for a song by a single artist; overall, it trails only Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s “Meant to Be,” which led for 50 weeks in 2017-18, for the top No. 1 run since Hot Country Songs became the genre’s singular songs survey in 1958. “A Bar Song” also ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-tying 19 weeks.
Shaboozey has charted two other Country Airplay entries: “Highway” reached No. 49 in January and newest single “Amen,” with Jelly Roll, ranks at No. 55 (1.3 million, up 10%) on the July 19 tally.
