It's finally come! The night before Christmas! Which means you’re probably at your limit for hearing Christmas carols and songs – I’m looking at you, Last Christmas by Wham. But isn’t it strange how a song can became a Christmas classic?
Wham’s Last Christmas is a pretty decent example. It’s not really much of a Christmas song except for the words “last Christmas” in the chorus; it’s mostly about a relationship that went bad, and it’s sung by a British band most millennials wouldn’t know. But the song is the bestselling single in British music chart history that never actually made it to No.1. Which is a roundabout way of saying it is really popular. And now has become a sort of Christmas standard. It has even been covered by the likes of Coldplay, Taylor Swift, and Carly Rae Jepson. Last Christmas has become a classic and gives Wham something to be known for other than their crazy, blowdried 1980s hair.
