In a career spanning more than 20 years, George Michael has been responsible for more than 75 million album sales. Having decided to release his new material through a number of labels on a single-by-single basis, George found a home at Sony for his new, highly anticipated album Patience.

It was released in March after two unstellar singles came out on Polydor and it debuted at number one on the UK album charts and number 2 in Australia. Michael was involved in a court case concerning his record contract after his record company CBS was taken over by Sony. Amongst Michael's complaints was that Sony had not fully supported the release of his second solo album resulting in its poor performance in the US compared to 'Faith'.

Sony responded that Michael had refused to appear in promotional videos and it was this that had caused the poor response to the album.
