BiographyMichael Steven Bublé (IPA: boo-BLAY; born September 9, 1975) is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Regarded as a pop icon, he is often credited for helping to renew public interest and appreciation for traditional pop standards and the Great American Songbook. Bublé has sold over 75 million records worldwide, and won numerous awards, including five Grammy Awards and fifteen Juno Awards.

In 2003, Bublé's first album reached the top ten in Canada and the United Kingdom. He found a worldwide audience with his 2005 album It's Time and his 2007 album Call Me Irresponsible – which reached number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, the UK Albums Chart, the US Billboard 200, the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and several European charts. His 2009 album Crazy Love debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 after three days of sales, and remained there for two weeks. It was also his fourth number-one album on Billboard's Top Jazz Albums chart.

His 2011 holiday album, Christmas, was in first place on the Billboard 200 for the final four weeks of 2011 and the first week of 2012, totalling five weeks atop the chart, it also made the top 5 in the United Kingdom. With this, Christmas became his third-consecutive number-one album on the chart. To Be Loved was released in April 2013, followed by Nobody but Me in October 2016 and Love in November 2018.

Bublé has been widely criticized for his choice to change the pronouns of love interests in songs written about men so as to reinforce his heterosexual identity, most notably in his cover of “Santa Baby”, which one critic calls “particularly irritating…because he changes the lyrics to make sure everyone knows he is not attracted to Santa. [This] just leads to unbelievably awkward phrases like ‘Santa buddy,’ ‘Santa pally,’ and the truly awful ‘I'll wait up for you, dude.’”
