Justin Bieber Re-Enters and Michael Bublé Climbs as Holiday Music Dominates the Billboard Canadian Hot 100

Mariah Carey has retaken the No. 1 spot on the chart with "All I Want for Christmas Is You," while Bieber's "Mistletoe" re-enters at No. 39 and Bublé's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" hits No. 14.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for holiday songs, which are rocketing up the charts this week.

Mariah Carey's now 16X platinum "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is back at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. She takes the top spot from Gracie Abrams, whose "That's So True" drops to No. 7.


Christmas songs also hold the No. 2 and No. 3 spots: Wham's "Last Christmas" followed by Brenda Lee's "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree." Lee's "Rockin" set a record when it hit No. 1 last year, but "Last Christmas" has only ever peaked at No. 2. Could a new cover by Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter push it to the top spot?

Canadian Christmas songs are having a good week, with Michael Bublé holding two spots on the Hot 100. His version of "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" moves up 33-14 and has also re-entered this week on the U.S. Hot 100 at No. 24. Could it top its previous Canadian peak of No. 4? There's still a couple more weeks left to climb. His "Holly Jolly Christmas," also moves up, 47-27, and Bublé's Christmas hits No. 3 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Justin Bieber's boyish "Mistletoe," meanwhile, re-enters this week at No. 39, putting Bieber back on the charts for his first Christmas season as a father.

Elsewhere on the charts, the late rapper Juice WRLD has the most new entries this week, withThe Party Never Ends, his second and final posthumous album, at No. 5 on the Canadian Albums chart. Four songs from that release are on the Canadian Hot 100, with "Empty Out Your Pockets" placing highest at No. 52.

Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department, meanwhile, has retaken the No. 1 spot on the Canadian Albums chart and the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart with the new physical release of the Anthology edition. With the record-breaking Eras Tour coming to a close in Vancouver this past weekend, Swift is truly going out on top.

Ed Sheeran Addresses Controversy at First Show Since Openers, Backing Band Dropped Off Tour, Calls It ‘The Best Show of My Life’

Before his show in Philadelphia, Sheeran read a statement acknowledging the issue of Israel and Palestine, but still tried to keep things neutral.

Ed Sheeran needed to address the situation before he could start playing guitar. It wasn’t how he wanted to start his show, and he’s made it abundantly clear that the last thing he wants around him is controversy or, in his words, to be an “activist musician.”

But here he was, at the first show after his opener and friend Macklemore was kicked off the tour, following pressure by a group of venue owners led by Robert Kraft who took issue with Macklemore’s statement of support toward Palestine. That led to the rest of the tour’s openers and even Sheeran’s backing band for the tour dropping off the tour in solidarity with Macklemore — all of which became a huge news story and PR nightmare for the usually very un-controversial Sheeran. And though he had already made one highly scrutinized statement online while the news story was at its most potent, Sheeran felt the need to address the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night (Sept. 19) in person, before the show really started.
