Michael Buble (tickets | music)'s full US tour schedule has been revealed just as he is riding high on a No. 1 album.

The Canadian crooner will criss-cross the US beginning July 12 in Reno, NV. He's already sold out several shows, including two each in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles, according to a press release. A third performance was recently added in Chicago and third shows in the other markets are expected to be announced shortly.

Buble also has two-night stands in Minneapolis, Boston, Philadelphia and Seattle. Details are listed below. He'll finish the year off with a tour of Europe, dates for which can be found at his website.

Earlier this month, the singer's third studio release, "Call Me Irresponsible," debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. This week, the album claimed the No. 1 spot, selling nearly 145,000 units. The CD is also the No. 1 digital download and No. 1 on the Billboard Traditional Jazz chart.

"Call Me Irresponsible," produced by David Foster and Humberto Gattica, includes the Buble-penned radio hit "Everything," along with several interpretations of standards, including "I've Got the World on a String," "The Best is Yet to Come" and a gospel version of Frank Sinatra's "That's Life." The 13-song set also covers Leonard Cohen's "I'm Your Man" and Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight."

The new record follows Buble's platinum-selling 2005 set, "It's Time," which has remained on The Billboard Traditional Jazz charts for two years and scored four Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys).

The 31-year-old singer, who has drawn comparisons to legendary crooners like Sinatra and Tony Bennett, has sold 13 million albums worldwide since bursting onto the scene in 2003, according to a press release.
