“Last Christmas” Success in 2025

40th Anniversary “Last Christmas” CD Single
Amazon Ad

The success of the Wham! Christmas classic, “Last Christmas,” just gets better and better … and 2025 was no exception.

For the eleventh time, “Last Christmas” topped the UK charts. Sadly, it was knocked out of the Christmas #1 spot by Kylie Minogue’s “XMAS.”

“Last Christmas” debuted on Billboard’s Holiday 100 in December 10, 2011, at #10. This year Wham!’s holiday hit made it to #2, just behind Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.”

Andrew Ridgeley said:

“I’m delighted to learn that Wham!’s perennial Christmas favorite, ‘Last Christmas,’ has secured the Billboard No. 2 spot this week,” Andrew Ridgeley marvels via email. “Since its release over 40 years ago, ‘Last Christmas’ has established itself worldwide as one of the most cherished Christmas classics, beloved by all generations.”⁠
⁠
“It’s an amazing testament to the special place the song occupies in so many hearts and one that George Michael would have been immensely proud of,” he continues. “Thank you, everyone who has embraced the song as a little piece of their own merry Christmas.”

“Last Christmas” topped the Billboard Global 200 this year, becoming the #1 song in the world.

According to Billboard:

Michael’s estate described “Last Christmas” as “a timeless record that embodies the very sound of Christmas and continues to resonate with audiences, while captivating new listeners around the world. Thank you to everyone who keeps this song at the very heart of Christmas.”

Remembering George Michael on What Would Have Been his 62nd Birthday

Amazon Ad for George Michael’s “Careless Whisper”

Dear George Michael Lovelies,

Today is George Michael’s birthday. It would have been his 62nd birthday if he had been alive. George Michael was born on June 25, 1963.

As many fans understand, I struggle with his birthday every year. Since I was younger than George Michael when he was alive, I recently discovered that I am now older than George Michael will ever be. That is a difficult thing to recognize at this point in my life. Does anyone else feel that way?

This year has personally been a very rough year for me. For the few of you who still visit the site know, I have been contemplating whether I will keep the Yours Only George site open. The site is only earning a few cents a day, which does not cover my costs, and I just don’t know how I can keep it open long-term without figuring out how to get more traffic. I have worked very hard this year to update older parts of the site, despite a few disgruntled fans causing me heartache about the things that currently aren’t updated.

Last year, I posted my happiest and saddest moments for the 28 years that Yours Only George has been online. Obviously, the saddest moment was learning that George Michael would no longer be with us to share his smart and humorous personality, nor his gift for writing and singing songs that defined a generation.

To keep the spirit of George Michael alive for the George Michael fans, I have started a feature called “On this day” on Facebook, X, Threads, and Bluesky, pointing to things that have happened to George Michael through the years. I have forgotten about so many of these things, and it’s so fun to read about them again. Usually, these pages are also updated, which helps me keep things more up to date.

For those of you who were on the mailing list through Feedburner/Google, I have moved the mailing list to Follow.it. You should have received a message asking you to confirm that would you like to continue receiving e-mails. If you’re new to the site, you can subscribe here.

Please consider sharing information about the site, as it helps me pay the bills and keep the site open.

Thanks for your support over the last 28 years!

I hope you all find a special way to celebrate George Michael’s birthday and life today!

Yours Only George Celebrates 28th Anniversary

On this day 28 years ago, my best friend Shannon and I announced the Yours Only George website to the world. We started our website, but would anyone come?

It was a fascinating time to be able to build a website and have it on the first page of Google listings … and have people from all over the world visit.

That time, unfortunately, is over.

Sadly, when you do a search on Google for George Michael, you won’t find this site.

On this special anniversary day of the Yours Only George site, I am asking for the George Michael fans who love this site to help to spread the word to keep the site alive.

I have spent so many hours in the last year, trying to both update the site and spread the word to get more traffic to keep the site going. To be honest, I feel defeated. Without traffic, the site doesn’t earn advertising revenue to pay for the webhost and the domain name.

Yours Only George is the longest running, updated fan-created website. I hope it can continue bringing George Michael news to all the fans for many years to come. But I need your help to make that happen.

If you ever enjoyed this site and if you would still like for it to continue, I am asking that you please continue to spread the word about www.yogworld.com and support our sponsors.

Thank you!
