Wham! was one of the most commercially triumphant, iconic, and culturally defining pop duos in music history, formed in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England, in 1981 by legendary singer, songwriter, and producer George Michael and guitarist Andrew Ridgeley. Selling over 30 million records worldwide in just five years, Wham! became the definitive sound of 1980s pop music.
Their monumental discography features some of the most famous and enduring songs ever recorded, including the immortal holiday classic 'Last Christmas' (multi-billion global streams), the exuberant Number One anthem 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go', 'Careless Whisper' (George Michael's masterpiece), 'Club Tropicana', 'Freedom', 'Everything She Wants', and 'I'm Your Man'. In 1985, Wham! made historic international headlines by becoming the first Western pop act to tour the People's Republic of China.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legacy, George Michael's peerless vocal genius, dazzling songwriting, and Ridgeley's infectious guitar hooks continue to inspire pop music worldwide.
For guitarists, keyboardists, and vocalists, Wham!'s songs provide classic, upbeat pop chord progressions (such as the festive D - Bm - Em - A changes of 'Last Christmas') and sophisticated soul chords that are universally celebrated across the globe.
