Michael Bublé's 'Christmas' Climbs Up The Chimney to No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart
With Christmas around the corner, Bublé's album returns to the top while Mariah Carey holds fast at No. 1 on the Canadian Hot 100.
Michael Bublé is having himself a merry little Christmas at the top of the charts.
His 2011 Christmas album is back at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart this week, climbing from No. 3. It marks that album's 15th cumulative week at the top of the chart — and it's also the only holiday music album in the top ten this week.
Bublé set a record in 2022 for times at No. 1 on the chart in different calendar years, and he adds to it in 2024.
Taylor Swift's Tortured Poets Department drops to No. 2 behind it and Kendrick Lamar's GNX is at No. 3, while Rosé of BLACKPINK notches her solo release Rosie at No. 4, confirming her burgeoning solo stardom.
Over on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, Mariah Carey holds strong at No. 1 with "All I Want for Christmas Is You," with Wham!'s "Last Christmas" and Brenda Lee's "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" behind at No. 2 and No. 3. With a new Netflix documentary out about "Last Christmas," WHAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped and a recent duet performance by Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan on Carpenter's own Netflix holiday special, the song could make a play for No. 1 before the end of the holiday season.
Bublé's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" moves up 14-11 and his "Holly Jolly Christmas" climbs 27-21. Justin Bieber's "Mistletoe" also climbs 8 spots, 39-31.
That's it for Canadian Christmas hits, but non-holiday homegrown tracks are doing well this week. B.C.'s Cameron Whitcomb re-enters at No. 89 with "Quitter." Josh Ross' "Single Again" moves up 89-83 in its 20th week on the chart and Devon Cole's "I Got You" moves up 95-92.
Tate McRae's "2 Hands," one of our staff picks for 25 best songs of the year, saw a drop after its No. 22 debut, but it moves back up a few spots this week 72-69. Karan Aujla's "Wavy" drops 46-53 and PartyNextDoor's "Dreamin'" falls 82-87. It's hard to say where those tracks, all of which are fairly new to he chart, will shake out once Christmas music drops off in a couple weeks, though — they could be poised for resurgence.
