Off The Chart: 8 July 1989

Back to the summer of 1989 on this week’s Off The Chart as Steve and Julian pick out some of the week’s forgotten hits, a hit from the Tokyo Hot 100 that should have been a massive hit in the UK but wasn’t, approximately three tracks from the week’s featured album and the top five singles in full.

Click PLAY to find out!
