A Michael Buble Christmas.
Michael Buble's 'Christmas' Jingles At No. 1 for Second Week."Christmas" album holds at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a second week, selling 293,000 (up 29%) according to Nielsen SoundScan. Its cumulative sales crossed the 1 million mark this week (1.03 million), marking the seventh album to sell a million in 2011.
The pop singer leads a rather quiet chart, where the highest debut comes in at No. 23 -- Trey Songz's "Inevitable" EP with 27,000. Only one other new album bows in the top 50: Hot Chelle Rae's "Whatever" at No. 48 with 18,000.
