WHAM!’s ‘Last Christmas’ has reached the top spot on the UK Official Chart once again!
“George’s family and everyone at George Michael Entertainment are over the
moon that so many of you love and appreciate the enduring appeal of WHAM!’s Last
Christmas to make it Number 1 again this year, and for that we are truly, truly
grateful.
And as a testament to your incredible support, last week the track went 5 times
Platinum in the UK as well as becoming a member of the Spotify Billions Club
after hitting an unbelievable 1 Billion streams on Spotify alone. Thank you.
This is a very emotional time of year for everyone who loved George and it
is extremely important to us to know that he retains a special place in people’s
hearts. It is because of that love and support that the charitable work that
meant so much to him can be carried on for many years to come. Thank you to
everyone.”
Andrew Ridgeley adds: “It is a wonderful surprise and a most fabulous,
unexpected Christmas gift to have Last Christmas attain the number one spot for the
second year on the bounce. George would be so thoroughly pleased as it is the
ultimate affirmation of his spectacular songwriting talent, it would mean so very much
to him and it is confirmation of the cherished place WHAM! occupies in our public’s
affections.”
