Wham! Makes Musical History, As George Michael’s ‘Last Christmas’ Tops UK Christmas Chart
The song was penned by George Michael in 1984, but didn't get to number one until 2023.
40 years after its debut, the song penned by George Michael beat off competition by Mariah Carey, Gracie Abrams, Tom Grennan and Ariana Grande to top the chart. A new documentary Wham!’s Last Christmas Unwrapped aired on the BBC last week, exploring how Michael created the song and played every instrument himself, before the band together with their friends travelled to Saas-Fe in Switzerland to film the video. On their return, Michael joined the rest of Bob Geldof’s musical recruits for Band Aid, the charity single that beat Last Christmas to the top of the chart that year.
