Wham! return to No 1 ahead of Christmas chart battle next week

Last Christmas replaces Gracie Abrams’ That’s So True in the top spot as festive classic celebrates its 40th anniversary

Wham! have returned to the UK No 1 spot with Last Christmas, priming George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s festive classic as the bookies’ favourite to claim the Christmas No 1 next Friday.

The lovelorn song, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this month, nabbed the Yuletide top spot for the very first time only in 2023. In 1984, it was beaten by Do They Know It’s Christmas?, which also featured Michael.
