Michael Bublé Extends His Record as 'Christmas' Hits No. 1 in Canada in Ninth Different Calendar Year

Bublé's 2011 holiday classic has reached the Billboard Canadian Albums top spot in 2011, 2012, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and now 2025.

It's always a Merry Christmas for Michael Bublé.

The Canadian singer's 2011 Christmas album has hit No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart again for the chart week dated Dec. 27, 2025. Bublé's album unseats Taylor Swift's juggernaut The Life of a Showgirl from the top spot after 10 weeks.
