Michael Bublé has two #1 albums in 2022

The mutiple Grammy-winning superstar Michael Bublé recently completed a unique achievement as he became the only artist to score two #1 positions on the UK’s Official Album Chart in 2022 – making him the first artist to land two UK #1 albums in a year since Taylor Swift and only the second this decade.

In April, Michael’s eleventh studio album ‘Higher’ went straight to #1, assisted by the huge airplay success of the single ‘I’Il Never Not Love You’ which included an A-list and Tune of the Week at Radio 2. 2022’s final album chart then saw his perennial festive favourite ‘Christmas’ climb all the way to the #1 spot – the fourth time that the 10 x Platinum-certified album has topped the charts since its original release in 2011.

The success of the two albums means that Michael now has a total of five UK #1 albums to his name (completed by ‘Crazy Love’, ‘To Be Loved’ and ‘Love’) which have spent a total of 10 weeks at the top of the chart. Remarkably, Michael’s back catalogue has amassed a total of 140 weeks in the Top 10 of the UK’s Official Album Chart.

Michael says, “I’m deeply moved by support the UK has shown me for the last 20 years. Having two Number 1 records in the same year is mind blowing and I know I’m in rare company. Thank you.”

There’s already much more to come from Michael in 2023. His European headline tour commences at the end of the month, and phenomenal demand for tickets saw another six UK arena shows added to the eight that were initially scheduled. Please see below for a list of all UK dates and here for details of all upcoming international shows. ‘Higher’ has also been nominated at next month’s Grammy Awards, which could see Michael win the fifth Grammy of his career.
