We’re 21 today! On the twenty-first edition of Off The Chart we look at the chart of 20 August 1988. Steve and Julian play some of the hits you don’t often hear, three tracks from the album of the week and the full “interesting” top five, as well as looking at the news, TV shows and films from that day. Which Bathgate band was “worse than Garbage”? Who won the battle between Michael Barrymore and Frank Carson? And what does BVSMP stand for, and why? Click Play to find out!
