By FYI Staff

Michael Bublé's Christmas jumped to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart for the seventh non-consecutive week, scoring the highest audio-on-demand stream total for the week with nearly 14 million. It is the album’s second straight year that the 2011 release has reached the summit. It is the eighth album from a Canadian artist to score a chart-topping album in 2019, compared to six in 2018.


The previous week’s No. 1 album, Harry Styles’ Fine Line, dropped to 2nd place over Christmas week, Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding held at 3, Billie Eilish’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go moved 10-4 and Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas popped 17-5 as her classic holiday song All I Want For Christmas Is You moved to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart.
