Songs from the Last Century is an album of cover versions by singer George Michael and acclaimed producer Phil Ramone, released in December 1999 (see 1999 in music). It consists mainly of old standards, plus new interpretations of more recent popular songs such as "Roxanne" (originally by The Police) and "Miss Sarajevo" (originally by U2 with Luciano Pavarotti). This album is the only in George Michael's entire solo catalogue not to have reached #1 in the UK charts, peaking at #2. It was kept out of the top spot by Shania Twain's Come on Over.
