Wham! has secured the UK’s official Christmas number one with Last Christmas, 39 years after the track was released.

Last Christmas was first released in December 1984 by pop duo George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, but was famously beaten to the top spot by Band Aid’s charity single Do They Know It’s Christmas?.
