Wham!’s beloved holiday classic “Last Christmas” has soared to the top of this year’s Christmas charts, a remarkable 39 years after its initial release. The festive anthem outshined contemporary artists, including Sam Ryder, Mariah Carey, and Noah Kahn, to clinch the coveted Christmas number-one spot.

“Last Christmas,” first introduced to the world in 1984, had been a perennial favourite during the holiday season but never quite made it to the number one position. This year, however, the song has seen an unprecedented resurgence in popularity. UK fans have shown their enduring love for the track, streaming it a record-breaking 13.3 million times during Christmas week, more than any other song in the history of the festive period.
