This week on Off The Chart we revisit the chart of 19 November 1981 with forgotten hits from Boney M, Bow Wow Wow and Spandau Ballet, a featured album from the Human League and the top five in full, plus a look at what was going on in the world on this day.

And why was Sting concerned about the plight of ocean-going fish? Click PLAY To find out!
