Back in 1984 Last Christmas gave Epic (Wham!'s record label) their second
1m+ selling single in history (the first being Careless
Whisper) although it never got to No.1.

project initiated by Bob Geldof, in which George Michael was involved too.
It is the song that George said would

. This isn't too bad for such an oldie, is it?
The true classic's a-side was switched into Everything

the charts.
