NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Reprise Records) - Things couldn't get any hotter this summer for Canadian singing star
Michael Buble as "Everything," the first single from his CD "CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE," reaches the No. 1 spot on Billboard's A/C charts this week. "Everything," written by Buble, boasts the fastest trip to No. 1 in three years on the A/C chart and follows his previous No. 1 hit single "Home" also written by the 31-year old Vancouver native.
On the concert front, Buble's 18-city sold out summer concert tour, which began in Reno, Nevada July 13th, and includes a three night run at NY's Radio City is already receiving sizzling reviews. "For everyone in attendance it would have been hard not to spend the night falling in love with Buble's style and music. He truly enchanted the crowd," raved the Reno Gazette-Journal. "With his chill-inducing vocals and deft sense of humor, Michael Buble proved to the audience that he could very well be pop's next superstar," said Ticketmaster's Live Daily in a review of his Phoenix show.
Buble who recently performed on the "Today Show" and "Oprah Winfrey" is scheduled to be a guest on "The Regis and Kelly Show" on July 30th.
The CD "Call Me Irresponsible," Buble's "remark on the different states of love," entered the Billboard Pop Chart at No. 2 and jumped to No. 1 the following week. It has remained in the top 30 on the pop charts since its release. It has also been No. 1 on Billboard's Traditional Jazz charts for the last l0 weeks. "Michael Buble's third studio album is the Big One," raved Stephen Holden in a NY Times review. Produced by David Foster and Humberto Gattica, the CD includes unique Buble interpretations of "Me and Mrs. Jones," "I've Got the World On A String" and the Leonard Cohen hit "I'm Your Man" amongst other great standards as well as another Buble written song called "Lost."
Buble burst onto the music scene in 2003. His follow-up album "It's Time" has sold close to six million copies worldwide and remained on the Billboard Traditional Jazz Charts for two years and in the No. 1 position for over 80 weeks - holding an all-time record.
