Christmas Cracker

Penned and produced by the late, great George Michael with the aim of landing the Christmas No.1 in 1984, the festive classic was originally kept off the top spot by Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas?

However, 39 years later on 22 December 2023, Wham! finally secured the coveted Christmas No.1 for the first time. The six-time multi-platinum classic peaked at No.1 in 16 countries upon its release and is officially the fourth highest-selling single of all time in the UK.

The song has claimed the No.1 spot multiple times over the last four decades and has amassed an incredible 5 billion combined streams.

The Last Christmas 40^th Anniversary EP is out on 13 December via Sony Music. Pre-order here
