"Make It Big" is the second studio album by the English pop duo Wham!, hitting the airwaves in 1984. In contrast to their earlier endeavors, this album showcased Wham! (comprising George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley) exerting more control over the production, with Michael also earning producer credits.

 

Boasting commercial triumph, the album soared to number one in both the US and the UK, propelled by four hit singles, each claiming a spot in the top three on both sides of the Atlantic.

 

Following the lukewarm reception of their debut album "Fantastic" in the US, "Make It Big" marked Wham!'s breakthrough in America. Reviews were generally favorable, with Christopher Connelly of Rolling Stone noting the album's unabashed homage to Motown, labeling it "almost flawless" and a testament to the duo's exuberant approach. Reflecting on the album in a retrospective review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic commended Wham! for achieving global success with their infectious blend of new wave pop-soul, asserting that they exceeded all expectations with this effervescent record.
