Off The Chart: 22 July 1980

Steve and Julian take us all the way back to this very day in 1980 for some undiscovered hits, the day’s events, an international hit, three tracks from the week’s featured album and the top five singles in full. Which Irish rock star had a hit about an American rock star? Which Swedish rock star did the same? And which legendary American pop star covered a song by a legendary British pop star and only got to number 41 with it? Click PLAY to find out!
