"Haven't Met You Yet," Michael Bublé

[Robert J]

This is his new single, and is now available on iTunes.



I guess it's been a while since he released an uptempo, and this is as solid an effort as he's ever delivered in that field, but I'm actually disappointed it's not a ballad - I have yet to meet a Michael Bublé ballad where his voice didn't make me melt.

[RedDragon]

This is really nice. It's a hit in the UK.

Michael Buble not only ascends to his third No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, but he also notches his first top 40 title on the Hot 100, as "Haven't Met You Yet" storms 52-40. Buble's previous Hot 100 highpoint was a No. 46 peak for "Everything" in April 2007 ...

I'm surprised this is still going...its SO old.

[CLEM]

This sounds like that one song from High School Musical.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

Up to #25 on the Hot 100.

This is a hit now!

[I'M ON ONE]

Naturally, this was always on the radio here. I really like this song, it's so feel-good. It's very corny and I'd be completely embarassed to admit that I like it, but I don't think I'd ever get sick of it.

Kiss 98.5 in Buffalo is billing this as New Music... it sounds so strange to hear that, when this song has been all over the radio since last Fall.

[Someone Like You]

This sounds like "Love Song" so maybe Pop will try it.

WHERE 'HAVEN'T' YOU BEEN?: Michael Buble makes his introduction to Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart, where the aptly titled "Haven't Met You Yet" bows at No. 38.

Buble has been a mainstay on the Adult Contemporary survey since Aug. 9, 2003, when he first appeared with a cover of George Michael's "Kissing a Fool." He's logged three No. 1s among his 10 entries on the list, including a three-week reign with "Haven't Met You Yet."

What sets the Canadian crooner's current single apart as the song that crosses him over to mainstream top 40 radio?

"Young, hip women love this guy," says Jeremy Rice, program director of Pop Songs panelist WBLI/Nassau-Suffolk, New York, which played the song 45 times in the chart's tracking week.

"He is an international pop star. The U.S. is just a little late getting to the party.

"But, that's OK. I'll take the ratings."

Helping his cause, Buble recently served as the musical guest, and made an acting cameo, on "Saturday Night Live," and the cast of "American Idol" performed "Haven't Met You Yet" as a group to open the show's March 12 episode. Buble's current album, "Crazy Love," has sold 1,574,000 copies in the U.S. since its October release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. He has sold 11.5 million albums in his career.

Jeff McCartney, programming and content director of KZHT/Salt Lake City, which led all Pop Songs reporters with 86 plays in the chart's tracking period, concurs with Rice.

"This song truly transcends barriers. It connects with listeners of all ages."

[The Music Man]

From the corny lyrics to the vocal flourishes, this honestly sounds like it came straight from Broadway. Although I can't stand this, I'm pulling for its Pop performance purely for the dark-horse factor.

[I'M ON ONE]

I really don't think it will go Top 10 at Pop, but even if it peaks in the 15-19 range, that would be a major victory and total surprise.

[Someone Like You]

It would sound better without that overdramatic horn bit during the bridge. It will probably confuse people into thinking it's the oldies station.

But even with it I think it will do a lot better than most people think it will.

[The Music Man]

Has anyone noticed how similar the piano riff is to that of Sara Bareilles' "Love Song?"

[irice22]

Yes, it trips me up all the time.

Anyone want to tell me what the hell this "dance" version is that I've been hearing on a few stations? I'm not even a huge fan of the original, but this is a catastrophe and completely unnecessary. And is that a cowbell during the bridge? Seriously, guys.
