THE BUNNY BREAKS OUT THE BUBBLY FOR BUBLÉ
Even as Michael Bublé's latest set, love, retains a spot among our Top 5 release in its second week (having bowed the previous week at #3 with 87k), the Reprise/Warner Bros. Records crooner sees his seasonal offering, Christmas, join it there. Together, the singer's two titles did north of 100k.
Bublé is only the second artist this year to have two releases in the Top 5 at once (he was preceded by XXXtenatacion). Aside from those two, only two acts, Future and holiday hitters Pentatonix, have achieved the feat in the last two years.
Christmas, first released in 2011 (during which year it frolicked atop the chart for five straight weeks), truly deserves to be called a yuletide favorite. Tom Corson was humming some holly jolly classics as he totted up the totals.
The singer and his label boss were both in our neighborhood recently to dedicate Bublé's star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame; odd that they didn't stop by to say hello.
