Christmas miracle!
Mega comeback: “Last Christmas” dominates in the UK
The classic "Last Christmas" has made it to the top of the British charts for the second Christmas. The song by the duo Wham! became a Christmas number one hit in the UK for the first time last year - 39 years after its release. Now it has stormed to the top again, according to the Official Charts Company.

However, unlike his former band partner in Wham!, Andrew Ridgeley (61), Michael did not live to see his Christmas classic reach the top spot. He died on Christmas Day 2016 at the age of 53.
"Last Christmas" took the top spot in the British charts for the first time at the beginning of 2021. "Last Christmas" is now the first song to reach number one in the British charts twice in a row at Christmas.
George Michael would be delighted that his Christmas composition has become a classic like Christmas cookies and turkey, said Ridgeley, according to the Official Charts Company.
