Wham's Last Christmas Tops UK Charts Again

News summary

Wham's iconic song 'Last Christmas' has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the UK's Christmas number one for the second consecutive year, marking a 39-year journey since its original release in 1984. The track, which was initially blocked from the top spot by Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', has demonstrated its enduring popularity by securing 12.6 million streams in just one week. Andrew Ridgeley expressed his delight, noting that the late George Michael would have been thrilled to see the song recognized as a festive classic. Meanwhile, Tom Grennan's new holiday track 'It Can't Be Christmas' is currently making waves in the charts but faces tough competition from a well-established favorite. The Official Charts Company highlighted that 'Last Christmas' now stands as the most-streamed and best-selling single during the Christmas week, further solidifying its status in British music history. With this achievement, Wham! joins an elite group of artists, including Queen and The Beatles, who have multiple Christmas number ones.
