Data Insight
The biggest-selling record of his career is also the clearest case of what he actually does: three of its sixteen tracks are traditional with no author at all, three carry his own name, and the other ten belong to the twentieth-century holiday songbook. Bob Rock and David Foster split the production.
Christmas is Michael Bublé's fifth Reprise album, released on 25 October 2011. Sixteen tracks of holiday standards including 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas', 'White Christmas' with Shania Twain and 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town'. It became one of the best-selling Christmas albums of the modern era and returns to the charts every December.
