上聲
注音 ㄕㄤˇ ㄕㄥ
拼音 shang3 sheng1
上 讀成 ㄕㄤˇ(shang3) 是 上聲 一詞專用
歷代韻書 非作 時掌切 即作 是掌切 可證
讀如 shang4 是中國文字改革 語音統一以後的產物

Both are correct, but shàngshēng is more common.
The most authoritative dictionary on modern Chinese, 《现代汉语词典》, says
上声
shàngshēng
,又shǎngshēng
①古汉语四声的第二声。
②普通话字调的第三声。‖参看〖四声〗。
shàngshēng
,又shǎngshēng
This means the former is more common.

一声:阴平
2声:阳平
3声:上声
4声: 去声。
【词目】上声
【拼音】shàngshēng 又 shǎngshēng
【解释】①古汉语四声的第二声。②普通话字调的第三声。
so,i think shang3 sheng1 would be better
