Sir Michael Terence "Terry" Wogan KBE DL (born 3 August 1938) is a veteran Irish radio and television broadcaster who holds dual Irish and British citizenship. Wogan has worked for the BBC in the United Kingdom for most of his career. Before he retired from the weekday breakfast programme Wake Up to Wogan on BBC Radio 2 on 18 December 2009, Sir Terry had a regular 8 million listeners, making him the most listened-to radio broadcaster of any European nation. He began his career at Raidió Teilifís Éireann where he presented shows such as Jackpot in the 1960s.

Wogan has been a leading media personality in the UK since the late 1960s and is often referred to as a national treasure. He is perhaps best known in the United Kingdom for his BBC 1 chat show Wogan, for his work presenting Children in Need, as the host of Wake Up to Wogan, and as the BBC's commentator for the Eurovision Song Contest on radio and television from 1971 to 2008.

Wogan started a primetime weekend show on Radio 2 from 14 February 2010.

Wham! had already enjoyed a successful 1984 by the time Freedom was issued in the autumn of the year. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go had given them their first UK #1 and had then reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA. George had then gone to #1 with a solo single, Careless Whisper. Freedom, a largely uncontroversial song, was #1 in the UK for three weeks and featured on the album Make It Big, which was issued at the same time. Of Wham!'s four UK #1 singles, Freedom sold the fewest copies. Relesead: 1984 Cover hierarchy: Freedom by Wham!
