Music from the Edge of Heaven is the third and final studio album from the British pop duo Wham!

WHAM!

Wham! were a short-lived British musical duo formed by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley in the early 1980s. They were briefly known in the United States as Wham! UK due to a naming conflict with an American band....

, in 1986.

The album was only released in Japan and the Americas; other territories got The Final instead. Both albums are related and have similar tracks, except The Final also contains all of the band's main singles and is more of a greatest hits album, while Music from the Edge of Heaven is commonly regarded as Wham!'s third studio album.

All songs on the album can be found elsewhere on various singles released through Wham!'s career.
