Don’t worry, they are #Whamageddon Safe and we promise not to play the iconic Wham’s Last Christmas (well, not before 23:59:59 on 23rd December…).
They are not in any particular order and we’ve tried to showcase some lesser-known songs, as well as the classics we all know & love.
Follow us on Facebook or bookmark this page to discover a new song every day between 1st – 24th December.
We will publish all songs, including those that didn’t make the list, on 24th December.
