Make It Bigis the second studio album by English pop duoWham!, released in 1984. In comparison to their earlier work, Wham! (George MichaelandAndrew Ridgeley) had more control over the album’s production and Michael would also be credited as a producer. The album was a commercial success, hitting number one in both the US and the UK and spawning four singles, all reaching the top three in the US and the UK.

The music video for single “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” had the duo in shirts that readChoose Life. It would be the first of several hits from the album. The second single “Careless Whisper” is technically a Wham! song as it appears on the Wham! albumMake It Big. However, when released as a single, it was credited either toWham! featuring George Michael(in North America and several other countries) or solely toGeorge Michael(in the United Kingdom and some European countries) as it became apparent, that at some point in the near future, Michael would be embarking on a solo career. The music video for third single “Freedom” featured the duo while performing a concert in China; incidentally Wham! would become the first Western popular music act to tour China. The fourth single “Everything She Wants” was released as a double A-side with “Last Christmas”; “Last Christmas” would later appear onMusic from the Edge of Heaven, an album released only in North America and Japan.

Make It Bigwas certified 4 platinum in the US during the time of its release, and has since been certified 6 platinum in the US.[7]
