Get ready for a Christmas music showdown! Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' has dethroned Mariah Carey's iconic 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' as the top holiday hit on the Billboard Global 200 chart. But here's where it gets controversial...
'Last Christmas', a 1984 classic, has climbed to the top spot, closely followed by Mariah's timeless tune. This unexpected turn has sparked a friendly competition between two beloved holiday anthems.
Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley expressed his joy, calling it "the best Christmas gift" and a moment of global resonance for the song. And this is the part most people miss: the late George Michael, who wrote the song, would have been thrilled to see Wham! reclaim the top spot. His team shared a heartfelt message, reflecting on his love for Christmas and the song's enduring appeal.
"Last Christmas" tells a heartfelt story of heartbreak during the holiday season, making it a relatable and emotional listen. But what other festive favorites are making waves on the charts?
