Ever since George Michael's passing last year on Christmas Day, Mum has been listening to all her old Wham and George Michael CDs as she was a big fan back in the day. I've said before that Mum loves most types of music and has eclectic taste, but I have to say I've never been that keen on the heavy metal and rock she tends to love. However, I have definitely fallen in love with George Michael's soothing velvety voice and I love listening to him while I nap. I love most of his songs! He was a good soul too, very kind and helped a lot of people and animals. He donated to charities anonymously (unlike most celebs who like to make a big song and dance about it).
So guess what I'm dreaming of in this frosty Christmassy selfie today (well, not quite a selfie I know because Mum took it). I am dreaming that in honour of George Michael I want this lovely song to be No.1 in the UK charts this Christmas. It would be great!

| Athena is hoping her favourite Christmas song "Last Christmas" finally makes it to No.1 |
Mum tells me that "Last Christmas" was originally released in 1984 and never actually made it to No, 1 in the UK because Band Aid’s "Do They Know It’s Christmas" (another fav of Mum's) was released and took the top spot (all for a good cause). However, Wham's classic Christmas offering did make No.2.
There is now a campaign run by fans of George Michael to make Last Christmas the Christmas No 1 oF 2017.
To download the track and help get it to No.1 in memory of George please see below.

Here we go then! The chart is open NOW! Buying a download counts 150 x more than streaming it #LastXmas2017— WHAM! Last Christmas for Xmas No.1 (@LastXmas2017) December 15, 2017

Giving is way better than receiving, is what I tell the peep when I leave a half mouse to share MOL Of course I draw the line at sharing my nip and the double cream.... bar at Christmas when all are welcome. He will be missed, George Michael, by many folk and maybe a No.1 will serve his memory well and also help others too?

ReplyDeleteGeorge Michael was a complex and gifted singer and performer. He was a quiet giver who made a big difference.
ReplyDeleteNo. 1 or not this year he is No. 1 in so many hearts.
