It was back in 1984 that George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley (known as Wham!) delivered unto us this now-required listening holiday pop gem, “Last Christmas.”
Upon its initial release, “Last Christmas” spent five consecutive weeks at #2 on the UK Singles Chart. Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” (on which George also performed) kept it from claiming the top spot.
The song finally reached number one on the UK Singles Chart on New Year’s Day 2021, more than 36 years after its initial release. In doing so, it became the fifth UK #1 single for the duo.
