1984 - Make It Big - Wham!

40 Years Ago - 1984 Wham! released their second album Make It Big.

The album that made us want to wear oversized white t-shirts with big letters and go to China. (well maybe not the second part)

Christopher Connelly from Rolling Stone wrote that the "music is an unabashed rehash of Motown", adding "Make It Big is an almost flawless pop record, a record that does exactly what it wants to and has a great deal of fun doing it."

"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" inspired by a note it went #1, #4 AC, #27 Club,

"Careless Whisper" nine people played the sax riff till George heard it done right! The song made #1 Hot 100, AC, #8 R&B.

"Freedom" made #3 and #4 AC.

"Everything She Wants" is the B side to Last Christmas so it's basically a Double A-Side Record. It peaked at #1, #4 AC, #7 Club, #12 R&B.
