We’re taking on the chart from this week in 1981 with two hours of hits, history and hilarity! Steve and Julian play some of the forgotten hits from the week’s singles chart, three tracks from a featured album, a hit from the Belgian chart and the UK top five in full, which includes quite possibly the worst hit single of the entire decade, so don’t miss that. How did Elton John predict the result of last week’s general election? Which ’60s legends reunited without anyone really noticing? And who managed to smuggle a song about the IRA onto Top of the Pops? Click PLAY to find out!
For further background info you can also read our review of this week’s Top of the Pops!
