This Christmas song never seems to die, still number 1, 40 years later
Last Christmas, the song almost as much a part of Christmas as mince pies, turkey, and pigs in blankets became the number one song for the second consecutive year, according to Andrew Ridgeley of the duo.

Wham!'s Last Christmas is the UK Christmas No. 1 for the second consecutive year, forty years after Band-Aid kept it off the top spot, as quoted in a report by The Guardian.
One-half of Wham was Andrew Ridgeley! Celebrated with the late George Michael, they said that it took 37 years to reach No. 1, 39 years to reach Christmas No. 1, and then, like London buses, they all appear at once! I'm particularly happy for George because he would have been overjoyed.
His wonderful Christmas composition has become a classic and is practically as synonymous with Christmas as mince pies, turkey, and pigs in blankets.
Perhaps the most iconic song of modern Christmas, «Yuletide Heartache,» has become so commonplace that it has spawned a game called "Whamageddon," in which players attempt to avoid hearing it for as long as possible every year.
