Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ Tops UK Charts for 40th Anniversary

The iconic holiday hit celebrates four decades with a BBC documentary, special re-releases, and renewed chart success.

Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' returns to the top of the UK charts, marking its eighth non-consecutive week at Number One in four years.
The song, originally released in 1984, celebrates its 40th anniversary with a BBC Two documentary and a commemorative EP featuring limited-edition vinyl reissues.
The festive classic was famously kept from the Number One spot in 1984 by Band Aid’s 'Do They Know It’s Christmas?', on which George Michael also performed.
Pepsi & Shirlie, former Wham! backing singers, reflect on the song's enduring legacy and George Michael’s passion for music and Christmas traditions.
The song has become the fourth highest-selling single in UK history and continues to resonate globally, reaching new chart peaks in the US.
