This week on Off The Chart we’re going back to 26 November 1987! Steve and Julian take us through some of the week’s lesser-played hits including Public Enemy, Blue Mercedes and Cutting Crew, plus three tracks from the featured album by INXS and the top five in full. There’s also a look at the day’s news and sport, the TV and radio listings and a look at what was on at the cinema. What did TV-am do that inadvertently boosted their viewing figures beyond expectation? Which two songs on today’s show include the phrase “Pump up the volume?” (Clue: neither of them is by MARRS.) And who did John Peel claim “must be half dead with beastliness, I spurn them with my toe”? Click PLAY to find out!
