On this day May 25, 1985, Everything She Wants by Wham climbed to the number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of the duo’s biggest international hits. Released as a double A-side with Last Christmas in the UK, the song stood out for its mature lyrics and smooth synth driven production that reflected the complexities of strained relationships.
Everything She Wants held the number 1 position in the United States from May 25 to June 7. It also reached the top of the charts in Canada and Iceland, further cementing George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s place as global pop icons during the peak of their career.
Fun fact: George Michael not only wrote and produced the song entirely by himself, but also performed every instrument on the track.
