Wham! - If You Were There

Released - November 1st 1997

The Best of Wham!: If You Were There... was the second U.K.-released compilation, released in 1997 to summarize the career of British pop duo Wham!. It peaked at UK #4. The end of the album features a hidden track that was first heard on their debut album, Fantastic.

Many Wham! fans consider this compilation vastly inferior to a previous compilation, 1986's The Final, due to the non-inclusion of Bad Boys, and also Careless Whisper and A Different Corner, even though the latter two songs were credited as George Michael solo singles. Nevertheless, those two numbers did appear on official Wham! studio albums.

  1. "If You Were There"
  2. "I'm Your Man"
  3. "Everything She Wants"
  4. "Club Tropicana"
  5. "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go"
  6. "Like A Baby"
  7. "Freedom"
  8. "The Edge of Heaven"
  9. "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)"
  10. "Young Guns (Go For It!)"
  11. "Last Christmas" (Michael) 6:48
  12. "Where Did Your Heart Go?" (Was/Was) 5:42
  13. "Everything She Wants '97" (Michael) 6:01
  14. "I'm Your Man '96" (Michael) 4:33
