Welcome to part 29 of my 32 part-ish series of awesome albums of the 80s. i don't go in depth, because that would be too deep.
Now for one of my most listened to albums growing up, the little known album Make It Big by Wham! You know they were awesome when they used an exclamation point in their group name. If you haven't heard a Wham! song and are an 80s fan, i would doubt your claim. Wham! was comprised of George Michael and his friend Andrew Ridgeley (now known as the other guy from Wham!). Wham! released 3 albums: the more disco like Fantastic (which had some decent songs on it), this one, and Music From the Edge of Heaven. This album was released in the awesome mid-80s (1984 to be exact). There are different versions/mixes of "Everything She Wants" and "Freedom" that were released as the singles. These versions are available on The Final - greatest hits album. Some of the better songs off of Fantastic, Wham!'s first album are not on their greatest hits album.
Notable Singles:
* "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"
* "Everything She Wants" - i like the single/video version is better
* "Freedom"
* "Careless Whisper"
Other Songs on the Album (some awesome):
* "Heartbeat"
* "Like a Baby"
* "If You Were There"
* "Credit Card Baby" - should have been a single
