JAKARTA - Christmas-themed songs began to reverberate ahead of December 25th. The list of songs played will not be far from singers such as Mariah Carey, Band Aid, Nat King Cole, and Wham !.

Although not all of them fully discussed the meaning of Christmas, the songs were successful in becoming popular and were always on the charts ahead of the Christmas season. One of them, Last Christmas from Wham! is also often a song that is played a lot in a Christmas atmosphere.

Seeing the atmosphere that has happened many times, Sony Music Entertainment is trying to restore Wham's popularity! via the Last Christmas video clip remastered or updated. Sony uploaded the video clip to YouTube in 4K video quality, or about 2160p. Not only was the visual process sharpened, the sound quality of this Christmas music video was also improved.

The track, which was released in December 1984, still features George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley on vacation with their friends. Scenes celebrating the Christmas meal and skiing are also still visible in the video. In the Last Christmas music video, Michael sings the song for a woman seen with Ridgeley.

Their appearance like swaggy hair, layered clothing, and shoulder pads portrays the nuances of 80s fashion. The clarity of Last Christmas's music video makes it seem as if we are watching a group of people change their appearance to 80s. The 1984 music video featured blurry, blurry footage.

Remastering a piece of music this December might be an opportunity for Sony Music Entertainment to showcase their technology. Although it is not clear whether they will remaster the music videos apart from Wham! in the future.

On the other hand, this song is also used for the soundtrack of the film of the same name, Last Christmas, starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. In addition to Last Christmas, the film uses the song Wake Me up Before You Go-Go and several George Michael songs.

Last Christmas is a Wham! from the A-side album Music from the Edge of Heaven released in 1986. Last Christmas was the first single from the album. Since its release, the song Last Christmas has always entered the charts from December to January. This year, the song Last Christmas ranks third starting November for five weeks.
