If your dad's an '80s music lover, he'll appreciate a copy of Sound Of The Crowd: A Discography Of The 80s more than socks. Buy him the PDF and he can have it today! soundofthecrowd.org.uk/book/ (Also suitable for other family members.) #FathersDay pic.twitter.com/8M1Z2PA6Zo

Just finished listening to this on my run 🏃‍♂️ This was my first NOW album which I got with a Philips walkman. That version of Opportunities was the ‘real’ version for me as that’s how I first heard it! Good to hear Paranoimia too - the song that opened my ears to stereo! @sotc80s pic.twitter.com/4bdbzMvlqS

Apparently some people had difficulty connecting to the #OffTheChart stream last night and missed some of the show. If you backed us on Patreon you could listen to the deluxe edition patreon.com/posts/off-char… right now without fear of it cutting off in mid sen

When it comes to pop, I like the duffers and the oddities as much as the classics. Hence loving the #totp repeats and #OffTheChart on a Tuesday. It feels true to the period even if we have to sit through the odd Cliff injection of audio Ovaltine. Thanks all who make it such fun!

While Cliff was entering at #2, Jason Donovan came smashing straight in at #1 with his third consecutive chart topper "Sealed With a Kiss", originally a hit for Brian Hyland in 1962. This was its second and final week at the top. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/cn7jXfVO8C

"The Best of Me" was Cliff Richard's 100th single (can you tell?). It entered the chart at its peak position of #2, his highest first week position since "The Young Ones" entered at #1 back in 1962. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/xPvF7kaVwO

Up 9 places to #3 this week in 1989, Soul II Soul's "Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)" went on to spend the next four weeks at #1. It also won a Grammy award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. #OffTheChart soundofthecrowd.org.uk/music/… pic.twitter.com/X8g59i2nII
