On this day, December 12, 1987, George Michael’s iconic hit “Faith” became the #1 song in America, holding the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks until January 8. The song also reached #1 in Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand, making it a global sensation.

The title track from his debut solo album, Faith, showcased Michael’s transition from Wham! to a powerhouse solo artist. Its infectious beat, memorable lyrics, and iconic music video featuring Michael’s leather jacket and guitar solidified it as one of the most defining songs of the 80s.
