Andrew Ridgeley

As part of Wham! Andrew Ridgeley and childhood friend George Michael soundtracked the early 80s and sold over 30 million records, Andrew will choose his Tracks of My Years.

Vernon Kay will be talking to Wham! legend Andrew Ridgeley who will be choosing his Tracks Of My Years in this omnibus edition.

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. He鈥檒l be chatting about that throughout the week but he kicks off, like many of our guests with The Beatles and 鈥淚鈥檝e Just Seen A Face鈥�.

To listen on most smart speakers just say 鈥渁sk 麻豆社 Sounds to play Tracks of My Years".
