Shaboozey Began A Historic Run On The Hot 100 A Year Ago
Shaboozey's breakout hit 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 a little more than one year ago, kicking off what would become one of the longest and most remarkable reigns in chart history. After a short stay at the summit, the cut returned and began a historic run. At the time, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' already seemed like a surprise smash, but 12 months later, the real story is the cut's staying power. The genre-blending smash is still thriving inside the top 10 on the Hot 100, while simultaneously living toward the top on several other Billboard tallies. What once felt like a fluke has turned into one of the biggest hits of its era. A Rare Country Handoff at No. 1 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' first hit No. 1 on the chart dated July 19, 2024, and at the time, it replaced another country crossover track — Post Malone and Morgan Wallen's 'I Had Some Help.' That handoff was rare enough, as it's uncommon for country cuts to rule, let alone for two to do so back-to-back. The following week, Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' took over, as it debuted at No. 1. Just one frame later, on the chart dated July 27, Shaboozey was back on top, starting a winning streak that would eventually tie a major Billboard record. Shaboozey Matches a Historic Record By the end of its reign, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' had racked up 19 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, including 14 stints in the top spot in a row. That tied the all-time record set by Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus's 'Old Town Road' in 2019. Like that earlier blockbuster, Shaboozey's hit blurred genre lines, mixing pop, rap, and country into a hybrid sound that resonated with millions of Americans, and which proved remarkably durable. Beyoncé Helped Pave the Way Before 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' exploded, Shaboozey had already caught the attention of the masses as a featured artist on Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter. His contributions to 'Spaghettii' and 'Sweet Honey Buckiin'' introduced his voice to a massive audience and hinted at the potential for a solo breakout. When 'Tipsy' arrived around the time of Cowboy Carter, his pairing rowdy barroom energy with country roots and hip-hop swagger connected instantly. Still a Chart Force a Year Later Now, more than 15 months into its chart run, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' is still a giant hit. It currently sits at No. 8 on the Hot 100 and remains a top 10 title on several of Billboard's country rankings. What began as an unexpected crossover moment has become one of the most consistent performers in history — and given how it's holding up, Shaboozey's smash may not disappear for months.

Bagheera — Cocktail Bar Review
Half the fun of Bagheera is finding it. Imbibers looking to grab a drink at this speakeasy-style Chinatown bar in Vancouver should head to the Happy Valley Turf Club—a reference to Hong Kong's Happy Valley racecourse—and place a bet on King Louie. Those magic words will open the door to the enchanting space within: a long, dark, skinny room, with a bar on one side and tables on the other, both flanked by a flagship curved ceiling. On one half, a palm tree print oozes up the wall; on the other, square tiles covered in horseshoes creep up and over (a nod to the now-closed Hong Kong cocktail bar Despite these China connections, though, the Bagheera concept is actually rooted in Victorian-era India, with even its name conjuring images of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book (Bagheera is, of course, the story's beloved panther). The cocktail menu is a trip around the world; Tuesdays, for example, offer a special selection of global martinis.

Good Thief — Bar Review
When the space next to Mount Pleasant's Anh and Chi became available, the brother-sister duo behind the contemporary Vietnamese restaurant in Vancouver decided to take it over themselves. The result is Good Thief: a scrappier, bolder, and more experimental bar with a Vietnamese soul and a global sensibility. With seafoam-green walls and caramel-brown accents, the room feels tropical and light, but not overdone. The cocktail list is creative and intriguing—take the Six Inch Yellow, for instance, which is made with Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye, Yellow Chartreuse, honey, starfruit, pineapple, galangal (similar to ginger), and guanabana (a tropical fruit). Many of the cocktails can be made non-alcoholic, as well; the Six Inch Yellow zero-proof version uses Seedlip, rectified starfruit and guanabana, galangal, pineapple, and salted honey, and is topped with spicy foam. When it comes to food, the pommes frites are easy to fall for, with thick-cut potatoes topped by crispy curry leaves and dipped in a fragrant Thai green chili aioli. The frog legs, too, are not to be missed: reminiscent of crispy chicken wings, they're smothered in an addicting fish sauce glaze. One thing is for certain here: the only thing Good Thief will be stealing is each guest's happy little heart.
