About this album
The Final distils Wham!’s brightest singles era into a concise, career-defining compilation. Issued in 1986 as the duo’s farewell release, it brings together the brash early charm of Wham Rap! and Bad Boys, the carefree pop of Club Tropicana and Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, and the polished late-period work that made George Michael a global star. Careless Whisper, Everything She Wants, Last Christmas and A Different Corner show how Wham! moved from exuberant synth-pop to increasingly sophisticated songwriting, while still sounding unmistakably immediate. It stands as a brisk summary of one of the most successful British pop acts of the 1980s.
