Michael Bublé is one of a number of musicians returning to Billboard charts as the year winds down. More than a decade ago, he released what has gone down as one of the best performing Christmas albums of all time, the simply titled album. Christmas. That set blows back on a number of numbers as November rolls around, and his ascension comes especially early — and quickly — in 2024.

Christmas is present on five charts this week in the US. It returns to three of them, as the title was already present on the other two last time. It is on those few lists that the seasonal bestseller moves to the summit.

Bublé currently rules two Billboard diagrams with Christmaswhich shouldn’t take very long to become a champion again. This framework makes the CD the star at the top of the tree on both the Traditional Jazz Albums and Jazz Albums inventories. It rises from No. 4 to No. 1 on the former, and from No. 5 to the throne on the latter list.

Coincidentally, Christmas has spent the same amount of time at No. 1 on both of these charts. It is now judged two of Billboard’s three placements focusing on full-lengths in the jazz space—which holiday collections sometimes fit under—for 46 images.

While it may have achieved the exact same number of trips atop both of these rankings, Bublé’s is Christmas have spent more time on one shift schedule than the other. The crooner’s bestseller is up to 114 weeks on the Traditional Jazz Albums count, and 130 on the Jazz Albums chart.

As it climbs as high as possible on the two jazz-only charts, Christmas is also on the up-and-up on three more lists. It re-enters the Vinyl Albums chart at No. 14, and it returns to the Top Album Sales chart at No. 28.

The same project is also back on the Billboard 200 this week. Bublé’s holiday classic re-enters the most competitive ranking of the most consumed albums in the country at No. 72, which is surely just the beginning of the set. Luminate reports that in the previous tracking framework, Christmas moved 13,100 equivalent units, of which 3,200 were actual purchases.
