After debuting at #1 at the global box office earning a thrillifying $223M and surpassing Part One as the biggest opening ever for a Broadway musical adaptation, WICKED: FOR GOOD will now be available to buy* or rent exclusively on digital platforms starting December 30, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Boasting a stellar “A” Cinemascore and Verified Hot with a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, WICKED: FOR GOOD is “a sensational conclusion” (Mashable).

In WICKED: FOR GOOD, Elphaba and Glinda are now estranged, each living with the consequences of their choices. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, continuing her fight to expose The Wizard. Meanwhile, Glinda (Ariana Grande) has become a glamorous symbol of Goodness, basking in the perks of fame and popularity. When a girl from Kansas crashes into their lives, Elphaba and Glinda must reunite and truly see each other—if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz. Bring home the adventure with an exclusive sing-along and prepare to be changed…for good.

The film is based on the generation-defining musical stage play with music and lyrics by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire. Directed by renowned filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Wicked, Crazy Rich Asians), the film co-stars Critics’ Choice® Award winner and Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey (Jurassic World: Rebirth, “Bridgerton”), Emmy® Award winner Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Independence Day), Oscar® and Golden Globe® Award winner Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Crazy Rich Asians), Screen Actors Guild® Nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s SpongeBob SquarePants, The Man Behind the Camera), Bowen Yang (“Saturday Night Live,” Isn’t It Romantic) and Marissa Bode.

Warner Music Canada is proud to announce that the inimitable Michael Bublé’s 2011 blockbuster album, Christmas, has once again reached #1 on the Canadian Albums Chart, officially knocking Taylor Swift out of the top spot after her ten-week run. Christmas is a global phenomenon, with over 16 million physical copies sold worldwide and billions of streams to date, continuing to dominate holiday playlists more than a decade after its debut.

The return to #1 caps off a monumental year, and highlights Michael Bublé as a Canadian icon and global superstar. Earlier this year, Bublé received a hero’s welcome in his home province as the host of the 2025 JUNO Awards at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, where he celebrated the best in Canadian music with his signature charm and wit.

Just weeks ago, Bublé celebrated another bucket-list moment with an incredible performance for His Holiness the Pope in Vatican City. Bublé described the opportunity to perform at the Vatican as one of the greatest honors of his life, bringing his year full circle from celebrating at home in Canada to performing on the world’s most spiritual stage.

Most recently, Bublé was in Vancouver, giving back to his local community by paying a surprise visit to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank (GVFB), volunteering alongside staff to distribute Senior’s Program Packs to clients. What began for some as a regular food bank visit quickly turned into an unforgettable Christmas moment, as clients realized who was volunteering that day. The visit brought joy to the GVFB’s Vancouver location, underscoring the power of human connection. To support this charitable cause, please click here to donate.
