Wham! legend Andrew Rideley picks his final Tracks of My Years and there鈥檚 the latest Strictly Come Dancing gossip from Tess Daly ahead of Saturday's live show
Wham! legend Andrew Ridgeley chooses his Tracks Of My Years all this week.
As part of Wham!, Andrew and childhood friend George Michael soundtracked the early 80s and sold over 30 million records worldwide between 1982 and 1986.
鈥楲ast Christmas鈥� - one of their biggest hits - was held off the top spot in 1984 by Band Aid鈥檚 鈥楧o They Know It鈥檚 Christmas?鈥�, and actually only got to Christmas number one last year. Now the story of the song is being explored in a 麻豆社 Two programme called 鈥榃HAM!: Last Christmas Unwrapped鈥�. There鈥檚 also a commemorative EP of the classic song out in December to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
After Wham! Andrew鈥檚 career took many turns, from professional racing car driver to acting and his own solo music. Hear him talk about that and much more as he picks his final two choices today.
