Wham is composed of two elementary school friends, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. They have been passionate about music since childhood. After graduating from high school, they were unemployed at home, but this also allowed them to devote themselves more to song creation.
In 1982, they wrote a song about unemployment among British youth, "Wham Rap", which gained them a record company contract and public attention. . Soon, Wham's name began to appear on the pop song charts in the United Kingdom and the United States. The most famous song in China is "Last Christmas."
As soon as their debut album "Fantastic" was released, it quickly topped the UK charts and stayed at the top of the charts for two weeks. In 1984, the "Wham" band released its second album "Make it Big". The record was very popular after its release, and many of its songs such as "Careless Whisper" also achieved platinum record sales in the United States. The album spent 18 consecutive weeks in the top 10 and spent three weeks at the top of the charts. The band "Wham" has conquered countless audiences with its highly entertaining pop music style.
