Father Figure is a U.S. number-one song written and performed by George Michael and released on Columbia Records in 1988 as the third single from the album Faith. Released in the United Kingdom in January 1988, Father Figure reached number eleven on the UK Singles Chart - the first time Michael had failed to reach the top ten in his home country. The song remained a live favourite at Michaels concerts for many years and is also one of his most frequently aired songs on the radio in the UK. In the US, Father Figure became George Michaels sixth number one single (counting #1 singles garnered as half of Wham!). Father Figure debuted at #49 on January 16, 1988, while Faith was still prominent (at #9) in the top tier of the chart. In the subsequent weeks, Father Figure was a surefire hit, reaching #1 by its seventh week, February 27, 1988, staying at the top for two weeks. Altogether, the single spent 6 weeks in the Top 10, 9 weeks in the Top 20, and 14 weeks in the Top 40.
