Michael Bublé Enters 2023 With His Holiday Classic ‘Christmas’ at No.1

Michael Bublé is back on No. 1 in the UK with his Christmas special, ‘Christmas (via reprise)’. He is a Canadian singer, who released the studio album ‘Christmas’ in 2011. Now, as we begin 2023, Bublé has reached No. 1 on the Official UK Albums Chart for the fifth non consecutive week after creating a stir when it was first released. 

Now with Christmas gone, the festive tunes are stepping down the charts and people are returning to newer tunes. Cliff Richard’s ‘Christmas with Cliff’, Bocelli’s ‘A Family Christmas’ and Andre Rieu and Johann Strauss Orchestra’s ‘Silver Bells’ have climbed down the chart with a massive fall. However, Bing Crosby has defied the trend by climbing up some 60 spots to reach No. 27 with his ‘Christmas Classics’. Currently, Elton John’s ‘Diamonds’, The Weeknd’s ‘The Highlights’ and Avatar 2: The Way of Water soundtrack single ‘Nothing is Lost (You Give Me Strength)’ are best-sellers. 

Apart from this, Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ and ‘50 Years – Don’t Stop’, Eminem’s ‘Curtain Call – The Hits’, ABBA’s ‘Gold – Greatest Hits’, Queen’s ‘Greatest Hits’, Oasis’ ‘Time Flies – 1994-2009’, Elvis Presley’s ‘Elv1s – 30 Number 1 Hits’ and George Michael’s ‘Twenty Five’ are climbing up the charts for the best album.
