According to Official Charts, Bublé is around 150 chart units behind Carpenter at the midweek stage with his festive classic album, Christmas.
Bublé’s Christmas has become a definitive staple on the Official UK Albums Chart every winter – the album has spent six non-consecutive weeks at No 1 since its initial release in 2011.
Elsewhere in the chart, Teddy Swims could end 2024 with his first Top 10 album. I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy – Part 1 is currently expected to climb 22 places to No 10.
Meanwhile, Daft Punk’s 2001 hit Discovery could return to the Top 40, with a midweek placing of No 21 following a limited-edition physical release in conjunction with the French duo’s anime film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem‘s 4K remastered re-issue. Originally, Discovery peaked at No 2 on the Official Albums Chart.
On an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers last month, Bublé revealed that he told his The Voice co-star Snoop Dogg how much his daughter loved his music. Bublé revealed that his daughter’s kindergarten teacher would play the rapper’s song every morning and even showed him a video the six-year-old had made for him.
“He was so cute. It really moved him,” Bublé said. “He’s a beautiful soul. He’s a beautiful soul.”
He continued, “And he said to me, he goes, ‘Mike, Mike.’ He said, ‘You’re telling me in Vancouver that those kindergarteners listen to Uncle Snoop every day?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’ And he was so cute.
“He said, ‘Oh, you know I made that for my grandkids and it was so important to reach in a positive way.’ What a sweetie pie.”
