Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1997, 'The Best of Wham!: If You Were There...' comes after Wham!'s split in 1986 and marks a retrospective celebration of their greatest hits. At this point, George Michael was already establishing himself as a solo superstar, having released his acclaimed debut album 'Faith' in 1987. This compilation not only highlights their chart-topping tracks but also serves as a reminder of their cultural impact during the peak of their career.
