Why This Record Matters
Make It Big was Wham!'s commercial breakthrough in the United States and helped establish George Michael as a global pop superstar. Featuring "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Freedom," and "Careless Whisper," the album remains one of the defining pop releases of the 1980s.
Collector Note
