Released in 1984, the album features massive singles like “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” “Careless Whisper,” and “Freedom.” A chart-dominating album that cemented Wham! as one of the biggest pop acts of the 1980s with their songs still being played today!
Make It Big is the second studio album by English pop duo Wham!, released in 1984. The album was a commercial success, hitting number one in both the US and the UK and spawning four singles, all reaching the top three in the US and the UK. Make It Big was certified 4× platinum in the US during the time of its release, and has since been certified 6× platinum in the US. 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.
Make It Big was mostly written and recorded at Studio Miraval in Southern France over a course of six weeks, beginning in early July 1984. This allowed George Michael to escape press attention and work peacefully. The main album credits attribute it as having been mixed at Good Earth Studios in London and Marcadet Studios in Paris. However, engineer Chris Porter later revealed that most of the album was mixed at Sarm West's Studio 2 (where "Careless Whisper" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" were recorded), with some mixing already completed at Studio Miraval.
