Twenty Five is a video album by the English singer-songwriter George Michael, issued on DVD in November 2006 alongside the release of his compilation Twenty Five. The set includes 40 promotional videos recorded over more than two decades, among them seven created with Wham!. Presented as a two‑disc collection, it covers different phases of Michael's solo career, his collaborations, and the visual approaches associated with his work during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. The release formed part of a wider anniversary campaign marking 25 years since the beginning of his recording career.

Background

[edit]

In mid‑2006, Michael and his label prepared an audio and video retrospective intended to document his work with Wham! and his subsequent solo output. The video component was developed in parallel with the companion compilation album Twenty Five, with both projects structured to provide a chronological overview of his singles, collaborations, and visual style across the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. The DVD brought together material originally issued across various formats, including early Wham! clips, videos produced during his solo breakthrough, and later works created for his albums in the 2000s.[1]

Content

[edit]

The two‑disc set includes 40 promotional videos recorded at different points in Michael's career, beginning with early clips created with Wham! and continuing through his solo releases in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. The first disc centres on material from his early solo albums, while the second disc contains later singles, collaborations, and videos produced for his 2000s releases. Twenty Five was issued on DVD in November 2006 in conjunction with the promotional activities surrounding the compilation album of the same name.[1]
