Off The Chart: 21 October 1982

We’re going back to this very day in 1982 on Off The Chart as Steve and Julian guide us gently through the week’s hits – some big, some small, some not as big as you remember and some you probably don’t remember at all. There’s also a look at the day’s events, three tracks from one of the week’s hit albums, a track from an international chart and the UK top five singles in full. Which rock legends were enjoying a top five hit with a twenty year old single? Which other rock legends scraped into the top forty for the very last time? And just what is Britain’s third favourite ABBA song? Tune in to the Youth Radio Network at 10am on Saturday to find out, or catch up anytime on Mixcloud!

Listen live on the Youth Radio Network!
