The Profile

Wham! were a British pop duo formed by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, active from 1981 to 1986. They became global 80s icons with chart-topping singles and bright synth-pop, from Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go to Last Christmas and Everything She Wants.

Members: George Michael (vocals, songwriting) and Andrew Ridgeley (guitar). Formed in England and disbanded in 1986 as Michael launched a solo career. They scored international No.1s, and in 1985 became the first Western pop group to perform in China.

Three reviews chart Wham!’s leap from teen-idol fizz to polished pop craft. Make It Big is praised for timeless hooks and stylistic range, The Final for catchy radio dominance with a few deeper cuts, and Fantastic for its glossy 80s swagger and lightweight substance. Overall tone: critical yet affectionate toward the duo’s earworm prowess.
