Make It Big is the second and final studio album from British pop duo Wham!, released in 1984. In comparison to their earlier work, Wham! (George Michael and Andrew 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 five in the US and the UK.
The music video for single "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" had the duo in shirts that read Choose Life. It would be the first of several hits from the album. Second single "Careless Whisper" is technically a Wham! song as it appears on the Wham! album Make It Big. Later, however, when released as a single, it was credited as Wham! featuring George Michael in North America and several other countries. In the UK and some European countries, the single was credited as George Michael as it became apparent, that at some point in the near future, Michael would be embarking on a solo career. In the UK, the label decided to release this single under Michael's name (although technically a Wham! song) as that would be a step in the direction of a future 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. Fourth single "Everything She Wants" was released as a double A-side with "Last Christmas"; "Last Christmas" would later appear on the next album Music from the Edge of Heaven, that album being released only in North America and Japan.
Make It Big was certified 4x platinum in the US during the time of its release, and has since been certified 6× platinum in the US
