George Michael was a pop sensation, a trailblazer, a hit-maker, and it is an understatement to say that we miss him.

To celebrate George Michael’s career we’ve done the dive and the math and we’re here today with his Top 10 solo career hits (Wham! not included) by the numbers.

As always, we started with the ‘Popular Songs’ list on his Spotify page, took down the songs and streaming numbers, and went to YouTube. On YouTube, we pulled streaming numbers for official videos on George Michael’s official page. Live concert videos are not included (with one exception because it is the official video).

Note: Wham! is not included, but it is impossible not to tell you that by the numbers, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go would have been #2 on this list.

Because George Michael’s career is loaded with songs that people love, that have been part of the soundtracks of our lives, especially at Christmas, there may be songs you love that aren’t on this list. If that’s the case, leave a comment and tell us which songs you think belong.

Ready? Let’s go!
