Off The Chart: 14 December 1989

Getting closer to Christmas and closer to the end of the ’80s, we’re going back to this day in 1989 on this week’s Off The Chart! Join us for two hours of less obvious hits, a selection of the week’s new albums, a look at the day’s goings-on, a track from the soon to be reunited West German chart, and the UK’s top five singles in full.

  • Which band has been going for 75 years but has only had four hits?
  • Who released a live album packaged with a free copy of their previous studio album?
  • And whose biggest hit was 1993’s “The Hits Medley”?

Tune in and find out!


Listen to Off The Chart on Noisebox Radio at 9pm every Tuesday! You can stream Noisebox Radio via their website, their apps for iOS or Android, or through TuneIn and MyTuner, or ask your smart speaker to “play Noisebox Radio” – and don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart. If you’re not around, you can hear the show again on Noisebox Radio at 10am on Friday, or catch up on Mixcloud after that.

We also have a Spotify playlist for our #ICEOTWF feature, including all (well, most) of the international hits we’ve played since the feature began in March 2017. There are all sorts of oddities in here, all of which were hits somewhere in the world but not in the UK!
