Shaboozey talks about the success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” on the Hot 100, who he’s been listening to and more at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Shaboozey:Charting on the Billboard charts is super important to me. It’s definitely something I feel like it has, like, a long-standing history. And being able to have a song, or, you know, have a couple songs this year, you know, finally break that. It just shows that, you know, it’s a testament to all the hard work and dedication and sacrifice we just put in. I really think it’s been a really cool year for music.

Listen to our Sabrina Carpenter. Listen to a lot of, you know every Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, Chappell Roan, Beyoncé, but yeah, just a lot of, just my friends. You know, it’s really cool to be able to listen to your friends, or like to, you know, to start with something. And we have this respect for each other. But there’s been so much good music I can’t say, you know, one artist and my taste jumps around a lot.

Having the longest charting song is crazy. Last year, I remember just checking out some of just looking at the charts and just being like, “Man, I would love to have a song, you know, even just enter in for me, having my first Hot 100 entry this year, my first two, and getting the longest No. 1.” It’s pretty cra… I don’t know if that’s ever happened before, making history has always been like a big thing for me, and just having an impact as an artist and as a human being. So it just shows that I didn’t let my childhood self down.

Tetris KellyHey, what’s up? It’s Tetris with Billboard News, hanging out with Shaboozey ahead of his first BBMAs performance. Man, you gotta be excited. What’s the vibe? What are you bringing to the BBMAs?

ShaboozeyMan it’s fun, man, hopefully a lot of country music, you know, lot of Western you know, a lot of vibes.

Tetris KellyI gotta be honest, I’m really proud of you. I remember meeting you actually at a BT party, and it was when your song was like, No.2, No.2, No.2. And you were like, Man, I hope I gotta, I gotta get to No.1. Like, now it happened. So tell me when it happened for you. How was that finally getting that accomplishment?

ShaboozeyThe kind of things I was doing at the time were, like, just really cool things that I just never thought I’d be doing, and meeting a lot of people I never thought I would meet, you know, being able to do that BET awards, and Jay Kwan come out, and then, you know, just the week right after that moment we went No.1. It felt like, it felt like a full circle moment, you know, felt like a, like a movie, honestly.

Tetris KellyI mean, that was a full circle moment, but I’m sure you didn’t even know then, like, 15 weeks was about to happen. So tell me about 15 weeks at No.1. That’s crazy, bro.

ShaboozeyIt’s crazy. You know, we do music and and especially being from like, a small town like me, you watch all these greats and all these, like, huge acts and people who have kind of, you know, matched those achievements or done more, and you’re just like, Man, I would love to be in those conversations and in those rankings. And it’s just, it’s great to be here. Honestly, yeah, I feel like we do something really special and something really different, and I put in a lot of time and a lot of work into just my music and my career, so just see it all kind of take off like this has been a blessing. Honestly, it’s been just just shows you just got to stay down, stay true to yourself, and keep working. Yeah, you can get anything.

SEVENTEEN talk about what it means to perform “LOVE, MONEY, FAME” at the Santa Monica Pier, their DJ Khaled collab and more backstage of the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Tetris KellyGuys, I am so happy to be hanging out with you guys again. It’s been a long time, but you’re here for the Billboard Music Awards, and you guys took over the Santa Monica Pier. So how did that feel?

SEVENTEENAbout six months ago, I visited Santa Monica while traveling, and hearing that we’ll be performing in that same space is truly exciting. I feel like it’s going to be a unique experience.

Tetris KellyI mean I know it’s gonna feel different for you, Mingyu, but Joshua, you’re especially the king of LA. You grew up walking these streets.

SEVENTEENI mean, Santa Monica in general is like the place that I used to hang out the most with my friends, like on the weekend, so it means a lot that we’re gonna be able to perform there and to have a City event at Santa Monica Pier

Tetris KellyMan, that’s pretty cool. And then you guys also just had your sixth No. 1 album on the Top Album Sales chart. So does it feel different every time that you guys hit No. 1?

SEVENTEENHonestly, every time we’re just like, so thankful to our fans, because, like, they’re the ones who are making that happen.

Tetris KellyYeah, and I mean, not only the new album, but the new track. I mean, with DJ Khaled, I was so excited about the collaboration. How did you guys feel releasing such a cool song?

SEVENTEENIt was an honor to work with him, as I’ve admired his work. It felt nostalgic because the vibe of the music I enjoyed in my younger days seemed to come alive so vividly. And then when I came to the U.S. two years ago I mentioned that I wanted to collaborate with DJ Khaled during an interview, so it felt surreal that this became a reality.

Tetris KellyWell look at that Tiger! Makin’ dreams come true, I love that, and then, of course, you guys have accomplished so much as a group, the BBMAs. I mean, what’s next? What is something you guys still want to accomplish?

SEVENTEENAfter the BBMAs? Should we go to the GRAMMYs? Yes let’s! GRAMMYs!

Tetris KellyOkay!

Teddy Swims says that his smash, “Lose Control,” hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 led to what he described as the Vegas Flu and more backstage of the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

Katie BainWe are here with the one and the only Teddy Swims. Teddy, congrats on all of the success this year. Yes, ma’am. Thank you so much. Of course, “Lose Control” your first Hot 100 No.1. It hit No.1 in March. Tell me about the moment you found out, and then how you celebrated.

Teddy SwimsSo we had found out, and I was going into Vegas, and my whole family came out too. So we were flying to Vegas, and when I found out, and it was, it was really awesome. My whole family’s gonna be there. And I think I over celebrated a little bit for sure. We ended up, I think, I think we ended up canceling the show after that, like, a couple days later, they’re used to it out there, though, when I was talking to people, they’re like, Yeah, we call it the Vegas flu out here, because it happens to be more it’s completely understandable. It’s your first No.1, So maybe the next time I won’t be going too hard.

Katie Bain Well, you want to get your first No.1. So if you had to get the Vegas flu for something, you know, it’s a perfect place to be, for sure. What did it mean for you? You know, after all this work and all this time, to hit No.1 on the Hot 100?

Teddy SwimsI sobbed like a baby, you know, and just to have my dad and my mom there, and, you know, my whole family, it was just, it was the most beautiful thing. I again, I think my mom is so, so happy. She just, she’s more emotional than I am about any of this. You know, I’m just happy to make, make my mom and dad proud. It’s just, it’s the coolest feeling ever, and all my team and friends, it’s, it’s the best.
