Wham!’s timeless “Last Christmas” is baacckk! Snagging the No. 1 spot on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart (Dec. 12-dated tally) as the festive party season gets busy.
(Fun fact: “Last Christmas” is one of the most-streamed holiday songs globally, with over a billion plays on Spotify.)
The seminal twosome—Andrew Ridgeley and George Michael—dethroned Taylor Swift and her track The Fate of Ophelia.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
It’s been 41 years since its initial debut. Written by Michael in 1984, Last Christmas was famously beaten to the Christmas No. 1 by Band Aid’s charity anthem Do They Know It’s Christmas?
Fast-forward: it finally claimed victory in 2023, then repeated the feat in 2024. Proof that true classics never fade.
A true great artist unfortunately always shows its genuine innate rainbow connection colors when the mighty, one-of-a-kind soul spirits have moved on from the physical world.
Holiday heads—does Last Christmas deserve its crown after all these years? Drop your thoughts below.
