Last Christmas/Everything She Wants

Last Christmas/Everything She Wants is a double A-sided single released by British duo Wham! in December 1984, most noted for the song Last Christmas, later released in its own right.

Both songs were written, arranged and produced by group memeber George Michael. Everything She Wants had previously been released on the Make It Big album, released in November. It would also become a no.1 hit as a standalone single in the USA in May 1985.

Release
The single was released on 03 December 1984 in time for the lucrative Christmas no.1 spot, although was famouly beaten to the top by the charity single Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid, released in the same week and which also featured George Michael as one of the lead vocalists. Entering the charts at no.2, the Wham! single remained in the same position behind Band Aid for five weeks, eventually leaving the Top 40 in February 1985. It charted again in December 1985, reaching no.6.

Last Christmas/Everything She Wants became Wham!'s seventh Top 10 single, but failed to become their third consecutive no.1 after Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Freedom, released the same year.
