Lee]] and [[Shirlie Holliman]]. Afterwards, the song shot into the Top 40 at No. 24 and peaked at No. 3 in December. The following year, Dee C. Lee began her work with [[Paul Weller]] in [[the Style Council]], and was replaced by [[Helen DeMacque|Helen 'Pepsi' DeMacque]]. Holliman and DeMacque would later record as [[Pepsi & Shirlie]]. Wham! followed up "Young Guns (Go for It)" with a reissue of "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)", "[[Bad Boys (Wham! song)|Bad Boys]]" and "[[Club Tropicana]]". By the end of 1983, Wham! were competing against pop rivals [[Culture Club]] and [[Duran Duran]] as one of Britain's biggest pop acts. Their debut album ''[[Fantastic (Wham! album)|Fantastic]]'' spent two weeks at No. 1 in the UK album charts in 1983, but the album achieved only modest success in the US.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/_/wham!/ |title=WHAM! &#124; Artist |publisher=Official Charts |access-date=29 December 2012}}</ref>
