And in some ways, they made sense: Like Sinatra, Bublé was an old-fashioned entertainer, the kind of singer who weighed his success in part by how well he connected with the crowd. But where Sinatra exuded swagger and masculinity, Bublé was soft and humble, a fisherman’s son from British Columbia who could swing if he wanted but tended more toward ballads and delicate adult-contemporary pop. Did the ladies love him? Of course! He’s Michael Bublé. He might be carrying a torch, but he’s lighting his own way. Born in 1975 in Burnaby, just east of Vancouver, Bublé fell in love with jazz and standards after being turned on by his grandfather, an Italian-born plumber who later offered his services to clubs to fix their pipes in exchange for putting a teenage Bublé onstage. As his star grew, his range broadened, balancing straight takes on classics like “Stardust” and “All of Me” with polished contemporary pop (“Home,” “Haven’t Met You Yet,” and “Nobody But Me”), creating a sound that was immediate, romantic, elevated but accessible. And like his heroes (not just Sinatra, but Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and a generation of American entertainers), Bublé got his Christmas album (2011’s Christmas) and a string of TV specials (buble!). In 2013, he gave an impromptu a cappella performance in the New York City subway. That, he said, is when you know you’ve made it. A stretch, but if his voice doesn’t get you, his charm will. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History 2005 31 Home -1- 2005 45 Home / Song For You -2- 2007 38 Everything -1- 2007 19 Lost -2- 2009 05 Haven't Met You Yet -1- 2009 34 Cry Me A River -2- 2009 69 Feeling Good -AT- 2009 72 Hold On -3- 2010 11 Hollywood -4- 2011 74 It Had Better Be Tonight -AT- 2011 06 It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas -1*- MILLIONAIRE 2011 99 Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas -AT- 2011 47 Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) -AT- 2011 77 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town -AT- 2013 10 It's A Beautiful Day -1- 2013 72 Close Your Eyes -2- 2014 39 Baby It's Cold Outside (Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé) 2015 21 Holly Jolly Christmas -AT- MILLIONAIRE 2016 77 Nobody But Me -1- 2020 55 Cuddle Up, Cozy Down Christmas (Dolly Parton & Michael Bublé) 2021 61 The Christmas Sweater -2*- 2021 44 Let It Snow! -AT- 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 3 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 10 x Top 40 | 22 x Top 100 Social Media Michael Bublé http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 | 21 | 94th week John Lennon, Yoko Ono and The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir Happy Xmas (War Is Over) Non-album single Released: 24th November 1972 Label: Apple Chart Statistics NE (09/12/1972) | 23-16-4-4-6-15-33-46-x RE (04/01/1975) | 48-x RE (20/12/1980) | 45-4-4-2-3-9-23-49-69-x RE (19/12/1981) | 63-28-28-36-74-x RE (25/12/1982) | 56-56-62-x RE (24/12/1983) | 92-92-x RE (22/12/1984) | 92-91-x RE (20/12/2003) | 33-49-55-x RE (25/09/2004) | 88-96-x RE (15/12/2007) | 60-40-41-87-x RE (13/12/2008) | 100-67-78-x RE (19/12/2009) | 92-97-76-x RE (18/12/2010) | 98-94-84-x RE (17/12/2011) | 96-95-78-x RE (15/12/2012) | 81-92-94-x RE (28/12/2013) | 88-x RE (20/12/2014) | 94-x RE (31/12/2015) | 69-x RE (15/12/2016) | 84-83-64-49-x RE (14/12/2017) | 76-35-35-21-x RE (13/12/2018) | 58-42-29-18-x RE (12/12/2019) | 68-56-53-28-x RE (03/12/2020) | 87-40-29-30-21-19-x RE (09/12/2021) | 53-35-34-26-22-x RE (08/12/2022) | 68-38-35-34-24-x RE (30/11/2023) | 85-44-19-21-22 Sales: 2,100k+ Certification: 2x Platinum Status: Accelerated Chart Ratio 02 Sales 13 Audio Streaming 00 Video Streaming Video g_kj60DIq2M Biography "The Plastic Ono Band is a conceptual band," said John Lennon to writer David Sheff in 1980. "There is no Plastic Ono Band. It's just an idea...there is no Plastic Ono Band like there is a Beatles or another group. That's why there's never the same musicians twice." While Lennon coined the phrase Plastic Ono Band on a whim, he stuck with the moniker through most of his solo career, applying it to whoever was backing him up at a given moment, and his wife and creative partner Yoko Ono also used the name, and continues to use it into the 21st century. The Plastic Ono Band rubric made its debut with the release of John Lennon's single "Give Peace a Chance," which was recorded during Lennon and Ono's "Bed-In for Peace" in Montreal, Canada following their marriage in June of 1969. With a handful of well-known friends in attendance (and Tommy Smothers joining Lennon on acoustic guitar), the performance was captured on a portable recording rig and Lennon opted to release it under the name the Plastic Ono Band, inspired by a set of plastic music stands he was using. (One of Yoko Ono's compositions, "Remember Love," appeared on the flip side.) In September, Lennon and Ono performed at the Toronto Rock & Roll Revival Festival, where the couple's quickly assembled backing band (Eric Clapton on guitar, Klaus Voormann on bass, and Alan White on drums) was again billed as the Plastic Ono Band, and their performance was released on the LP Live Peace in Toronto 1969. (An expanded version of the band from Live Peace in Toronto, including George Harrison, Delaney & Bonnie, and Bobby Keys, appeared at a UNICEF benefit in London the following December.) And Lennon would release a handful of singles under the Plastic Ono Band banner between 1969 and 1971, including "Cold Turkey," "Instant Karma," "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," and "Power to the People." In December 1970, Lennon and Ono reminded the world the Plastic Ono Band was a joint project by simultaneously releasing John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, two albums that were recorded with the same set of musicians during the same set of recording sessions. For the 1972 album Some Time in New York City, Lennon and Ono used the Plastic Ono Band moniker while also crediting Elephant's Memory, the New York-based band who were collaborating with the couple at the time, essentially giving the musicians two identities on one album. In 1973, Ono would release two more albums as Plastic Ono Band projects, Approximate Infinite Universe and Feeling the Space, while Lennon began playing with the band name in the '70s; 1973's Mind Games introduced the Plastic U.F.Ono Band, and 1974's Walls & Bridges featured a credit for the Plastic Ono Nuclear Band. When Lennon and Ono returned to the music scene in 1980 after several years away from the spotlight, they opted to simply use their given names, and the Plastic Ono Band label was retired until 2009, when Yoko Ono released her album Between My Head and the Sky as Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band (with Sean Lennon as part of the group). Ono used the same billing for 2013's Take Me to the Land of Hell, and she's used the moniker to credit her backing musicians at a number of live performances from 2009 onward. - Apple Music Top 100 Chart History John Lennon 1970 05 Instant Karma (John Lennon & Yoko Ono with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1971 07 Power To The People (John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1973 26 Mind Games -1- 1974 36 Whatever Gets You Thru The Night (John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Nuclear Band) -1- 1975 23 No 9 Dream -2- 1975 30 Stand By Me -1- 1975 01 Imagine -1- MILLION SELLER 1980 01 (Just Like) Starting Over -1- 1981 01 Woman -2- 1981 30 Watching The Wheels -3- 1981 40 I Saw Her Standing There (The Elton John Band & John Lennon) 1982 41 Love -1- 1984 06 Nobody Told Me -1- 1984 32 Borrowed Time -2- 1984 88 Steppin' Out (John Lennon & Yoko Ono) -3- 1985 65 Jealous Guy -1- 1988 45 Imagine / Jealous Guy 3 x #1 | 5 x Top 5 | 7 x Top 10 | 7 x Top 20 | 14 x Top 40 | 18 x Top 100 Yoko Ono 1970 05 Instant Karma (John Lennon & Yoko Ono with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1981 35 Walking On Thin Ice -NAS- 1984 88 Steppin' Out (John Lennon & Yoko Ono) 0 x #1 | 2 x Top 5 | 2 x Top 10 | 2 x Top 20 | 3 x Top 40 | 4 x Top 100 The Plastic Ono Band 1969 02 Give Peace A Chance -NAS- 1969 14 Cold Turkey -NAS- 1970 05 Instant Karma (John Lennon & Yoko Ono with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1971 07 Power To The People (John Lennon with The Plastic Ono Band) -NAS- 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 0 x #1 | 3 x Top 5 | 4 x Top 10 | 5 x Top 20 | 5 x Top 40 | 5 x Top 100 The Harlem Community Choir 1972 02 Happy Xmas (War Is Over) (John Lennon, Yoko Ono & The Plastic Ono Band with The Harlem Community Choir) MILLIONAIRE 0 x #1 | 1 x Top 5 | 1 x Top 10 | 1 x Top 20 | 1 x Top 40 | 1 x Top 100 Social Media John Lennon Yoko Ono The Plastic Ono Band The Harlem Community Choir http://i.imgur.com/1SERq1f.png

Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky-gravel voice and slide guitar playing, and the Guinness Rockopedia described him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". After learning to play the guitar relatively late in his early twenties, which was followed by a short local band activity, Rea began his solo career in 1978 and has produced twenty-five solo albums, but some of them from his later blues period like Blue Guitars (2005) have multiple discs. The British Hit Singles & Albums stated that Rea was "one of the most popular UK singer-songwriters of the late 1980s" and "already a major European star by the time he finally cracked the UK Top 10 with the release of the single "The Road to Hell (Part 2)", which was his 18th chart entry." Two of his most successful studio albums, The Road to Hell (1989) and Auberge (1991), topped the UK Albums Chart. His other hit songs include "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat", "Stainsby Girls", "Josephine", "On the Beach", "Let's Dance", "Driving Home for Christmas", "Working on It", "Tell Me There's a Heaven", "Auberge", "Looking for the Summer", "Winter Song", "Nothing to Fear", "Julia", and "If You Were Me", a duet with Elton John. Rea was nominated three times for the Brit Award for Best British Male Artist: in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Rea has never toured the United States and is best known there for the 1978 single "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", which reached No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. This success earned him a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist in 1978. As of 2009, Rea had sold more than 30 million records worldwide. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History 1978 30 Fool (If You Think It's Over) -1- 1979 44 Diamonds -1- 1982 65 Loving You -1- 1983 85 Let It Loose -1- 1983 60 I Can Hear Your Heartbeat -2- 1984 65 I Don't Know What It Is But I Love It -1- 1984 86 Touche D'Amour -2- 1984 78 Ace Of Hearts -3- 1985 26 Stainsby Girls -1- 1985 67 Josephine -2- 1986 69 It's All Gone -1- 1986 12 On The Beach -2- 1986 79 Hello Friend -3- 1987 12 Let's Dance -1- 1987 47 Loving You Again -2- 1987 67 Joys Of Christmas -3- 1988 73 Que Sera -4- 1988 10 Driving Home For Christmas -NAS- MILLIONAIRE 1989 53 Working On It -1- 1989 10 The Road To Hell (Part 2) -1- 1989 83 That's What They Always Say -2- 1990 24 Tell Me There's A Heaven -3- 1990 69 Texas -4- 1991 16 Auberge -1- 1991 57 Heaven -2- 1991 49 Looking For The Summer -3- 1991 27 Winter Song -4- 1992 16 Nothing To Fear -1- 1992 31 God's Great Banana Skin -2- 1993 53 Soft Top Hard Shoulder -3- 1993 18 Julia -1- 1994 28 You Can Go Your Own Way -1- 1996 77 Girl In A Sports Car -2- 1996 41 'Disco' La Passione (Chris Rea & Shirley Bassey) -1- 1997 44 Let's Dance (Middlesbrough FC feat.

December 22, 20232 yr YESSSS CHER :cheer: More than makes up for worrying it might peak at #41 last week
December 22, 20232 yr Chris Rea's other music is generally really good. Including the far superior driving song 'The Road to Hell'. This is easy listening syrup
December 22, 20232 yr Glad this made the Top 10 by that tiny margin in 2021, it may never happen again!
December 22, 20232 yr please can we have people who can actually sing well do charity songs going forward ?? Or just no more charity songs. Giving to good causes doesn’t need to be linked to (usually) terrible music.
