Clear your desk, unplug the television, switch your phone off, cancel the internet... no, wait, don't do that! You need it to listen to #OffTheChart in five minutes! But sure, go ahead and do the rest so you're not interrupted at 9pm when we look at 1984! offthechart.show/saturday-14-… pic.twitter.com/5u0t4TFZ0m
