Wham!'s 'Last Christmas' Tops Charts

For the first time, Wham!'s 1980s classic 'Last Christmas' has reached the number one spot on the Billboard Global 200 chart, overtaking Mariah Carey's perennial holiday favorite, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You.' This shift marks a significant moment as Carey, often dubbed the 'Queen of Christmas,' is dethroned by Wham!'s enduring festive hit. The change reflects evolving listener preferences during the holiday season, highlighting the timeless appeal of classic Christmas songs alongside modern favorites. This development is notable in the context of seasonal music competition and the continuing impact of 1980s pop culture in global music trends.
