Off The Chart: 7 June 1982

Off The Chart: 7 June 1982

Like Paul Hardcastle last week, we’re looking back forty years on this week’s Off The Chart to revisit the UK singles chart from the beginning of June 1982! As usual we’ll gather up a load of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits, plus three of the week’s new albums, some chat about the day’s goings-on, a track from the Norwegian chart and the top five singles in full.

  • Which thirty-year-old song was revived by two different chart acts at the same time?
  • Whose new album contravened the Trade Descriptions Act?
  • And who provides the missing link between the HallΓ© Orchestra and The Fall?

Tune in and find out!



Listen to Off The Chart on Noisebox Radio at 9pm every Tuesday! And don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart. If you’re not around, you can hear the show again on Noisebox Radio at 11am on Friday, or catch up on Mixcloud after that.

Spotify playlists

If you’ve missed a previous edition they’re all on our Mixcloud page, or for a taster of the music we play, listen to our Spotify playlist Way Off The Chart including one track from each show!

We also have a Spotify playlist for our #ICEOTWF feature, including all (well, most) of the international hits we’ve played since the feature began in March 2017. There are all sorts of oddities in here, all of which were hits somewhere in the world but not in the UK!
