Wham – The Artist/s

Wham were an English musical duo formed by school friends George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in 1981. After three successful albums Wham became one of the most successful pop acts of the 1980s. They made a highly publicised 10-day visit to China, the first by a Western pop group and sold more than 30 million certified records worldwide from 1982 to 1986. George Michael was  keen to create music targeted at a more sophisticated adult market rather than the duo’s primarily teenage audience, and therefore split to continue working as a solo artist.

Last Christmas – The Song

Last Christmas is a song by British pop duo Wham!. Written and produced by George Michael, it was released on December 3, 1984. The song has been covered by many artists since its original release, including Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Jimmy Eat World, Backstreet Boys and The Braxtons. Upon its initial release in 1984, “Last Christmas” spent five consecutive weeks at number two in the UK Singles Chart—it was held off the top spot at Christmas by Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” (on which Michael also performed). After many chart runs in subsequent years, which included three more weeks at number two, and which saw the recording become part of RCA Records’ catalogue, the song finally reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on New Year’s Day 2021 (chart week ending date 7 January 2021), more than 36 years after its initial release; in doing so, it became the fifth UK number one single for the duo. Prior to it reaching number one, “Last Christmas” had for many years held the record as the highest-selling single never to top the charts by the Official Charts Company (OCC) with 1.9 million copies sold (not including streams). This record is now held by “Moves like Jagger” by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera.[5][6] The song reached number one in the UK after it was streamed 9.2 million times in the last week of 2020 and sold 1,555 downloads, resulting in a total of 40,149 combined sales. Having been the Christmas number two again in 2022, “Last Christmas” finally achieved the accolade of Christmas number one in 2023, 39 years after its initial release. 

The Christmas Tree – The Shape

A Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce, pine, or fir or an artificial tree of similar appearance, associated with the celebration of Christmas. The modern Christmas tree was developed in medieval Livonia (present-day Estonia and Latvia) and early modern Germany, where Protestant Germans brought decorated trees into their homes. It acquired popularity beyond the Lutheran areas of Germany and the Baltic countries during the second half of the 19th century, at first among the upper classes.
