Origin[edit]
"Last Christmas" had its beginnings in 1984, while George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley were visiting Michael’s
parents. It was written by Michael in his childhood bedroom.[3] Michael played Ridgeley the introduction
and chorus melody to "Last Christmas", which Ridgeley later called "a moment of wonder". [5]
Recording[edit]
The song was recorded in August 1984, at Advision Studios, London, England. George Michael had written,
performed, produced and played every single instrument on the track. With a Linn 9000 drum machine, a Roland Juno-
60 synth and sleigh bells, they began recording the song in the summer. The only people in the studio
were engineer Chris Porter and two assistants. According to Porter, lyrically "you’ve got the happiness of the rhythm
track, but against that you’ve got the sadness of the unrequited love". [3]
Spain[edit]
In 2009, the song re-entered the Spanish Lista de Canciones (singles chart) at number 9.
Germany[edit]
In Germany, the song is the most successful Christmas single of all time, having spent 132 weeks on the German
Singles Chart and attained a peak position of #4 on January 6, 2018. [12] It has charted every year since 1997.[13] In
January 2008, the song fell from number 4 to number 64 there, also making it the biggest fall out of the top 10 on the
singles chart.[14]
Netherlands[edit]
In the Netherlands, the song never reached number one, peaking at number 2 in January 1985 (behind Band Aid's "Do
They Know It's Christmas?"). In the Dutch Singles Top 100 (one of three charts in the Netherlands that claims to be the
"official" chart, but it's the only one that is not broadcast and remains unpublished except on its own official web page),
the song has now entered on 16 different occasions, including every year since 2006. Its highest position after 1984 was
number 5 (during the 2007 Christmas season).[15] In the Dutch Mega Top 50 (which was first published in 1993), the
song re-appeared in 1997, 2000, 2007, 2008, and 2013.
United States[edit]
The original 1984 version was never commercially released as a single in the United States and therefore did not enter
the main charts. It was released for the first time as a 2-track physical single on 12" vinyl as an exclusive Record Store
Day release in November 2014.[16] In the United States, the song has also re-entered the BillboardHoliday Songs
Chart on a regular basis with a peak on 20 December at #5.[17][18][19] As of 25 November 2016, total US sales of the
digital track stand at 751,000 downloads according to Nielsen SoundScan, placing it 10th on the list of all-time best-
selling Christmas/holiday digital singles in US SoundScan history.[20] The song debuted at number 50 on
the Billboard Hot 100 in the chart dated 7 January 2017, after George Michael died. [21]
In December 2018, the song re-entered the Hot 100, peaking at number 27.[22]
Sweden[edit]
In December 2017, "Last Christmas" reached #1 in the Swedish singles chart.[23]
Music video[edit]
The video to "Last Christmas" shows Wham! members George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley accompanying
girlfriends to see friends at an unspecified ski resort: the cable-car that can be seen in two shots is from Saas-
Fee, Switzerland, where the video was filmed.[3] It becomes clear early on that the character of Ridgeley's girlfriend
(played by model Kathy Hill)[3] was previously in a relationship with Michael and that the song is aimed at her. She can
easily be spotted throughout the video by the fact that she's usually wearing red, but everyone else is wearing more
muted colors.
There is a brief flashback to "last Christmas", showing Michael's character presenting her with a jewelled brooch. In the
present time, Ridgeley is wearing the brooch, suggesting that the girl gave the same gift (perhaps by regifting it) to her
new love after she and Michael parted ways. When the girl wears the brooch from Michael's character, it is "right side
up", and when Ridgeley's character wears it, he wears it "upside down". On numerous occasions, Michael presents a
thoughtful expression, suggesting his conflicting emotions.
Her seeming indifference to Ridgeley's open displays of affection makes the viewer wonder if Ridgeley's heart is the
next to be broken. However, at the end of the video, everyone leaves properly "paired off", so perhaps it is suggested
that Michael has worked out his confusion and now realizes he is after all with the right girl.
The video also featured the duo's erstwhile backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie and Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp,
the boyfriend and future husband of Shirlie Holliman.[3] The video also marks the last filmed appearance of a clean-
shaven Michael, as he sported a beard in their next video for "Everything She Wants", which he kept until his death in
2016.
As of 25 December 2018, the music video has received 417 million views on the official
Wham! YouTube channel.[24] The second official music video titled: "Last Christmas (Pudding Mix)" on Wham!’s
official channel also has 7.2 million views.[25]

Plagiarism allegations[edit]
On behalf of the writers of the song "Can't Smile Without You", made popular by Barry Manilow, publishing company
Dick James Music sued Michael for plagiarism in the mid-1980s, claiming that "Last Christmas" lifted its melody from
the former. The case was dismissed.[3][69]

In the UK, the following single planned after "Close to You" was "Big Time"; however, it was suggested
that Whigfield should record a version of "Last Christmas" to go with the release of "Big Time", as a double A-side
single. The single was also released as a double A-side single in Germany with "Close to You". In other countries,
"Last Christmas" was released on its own with various remixes. The single reached number 21 in the UK, which was
Whigfield's final release on Systematic Records. It also features on various Special Edition versions of her debut
album Whigfield and also on Whigfield II. The EP was released on 10 November 1995 in Australia. A UK single was
released on 3 December 1995.

The music video for "Last Christmas" was directed by Italian director Giacomo De Simone.
