Off The Chart: 7 October 1985

Off The Chart: 7 October 1985

It’s October 1985 all over again on this week’s Off The Chart! Join Steve and Julian as they unearth some of the week’s forgotten hits, play three tracks from a featured hit album, discuss the day’s events, pluck a track from an international chart and run through the top five singles in full. Which former chart toppers dropped two syllables from their name for a final crack at the singles chart? Who made a video inside a wardrobe? And which Glaswegian duo provides the missing link between Dolly Parton and the White Stripes? 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!
(Saturday 10am-12pm, Wednesday 8-10pm)

Listen anytime on Mixcloud!
