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.

Arcángel Celebrates His 20th Anniversary With Big Outdoor Shows in Toronto and Montreal

The Puerto Rican urban music star brought his global La 8va Maravilla tour to Montreal's Beachclub and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 11-12 for its first two stops of the summer, performing over an hour and a half of hits spanning two decades.

Arcángel is celebrating 20 years of success. The Latin urban music legend kicked off his global trek, the La 8va Maravilla tour, with two Canadian stops, playing Montreal's Beachclub on July 11 and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 12. The Puerto Rican hitmaker treated the audience to over an hour and a half of hits including 2000s classics and recent party-starters.

Kicking off the show, Lunay delivered a charismatic opening set, showcasing his knack for melodies through tracks like "Fantasías" and "Soltera," which reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019 thanks to its hit remix with Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee. The track received a vibrant roar from the crowd upon its first note, and Lunay delivered all three verses as fans sang every word.
