TouchTunes (which operates jukeboxes for bars) reported that for the second year in a row, the most-played song on jukeboxes was “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey, which just feels on the nose. About 38 percent of all plays on the platform are rock songs, but 23 percent are country. And country music is well-represented at the top of the charts, with the three most-played artists being Morgan Wallen, Chris Stapleton and Toby Keith. If you’ll excuse me, I’m moving to Nashville to write songs like “A Good Song (To Play On A Juke Box)” and “Bar Music For A Bar” in the hopes that I can notch that No. 1 hit through sheer nominative determinism, just like Shaboozey did.
