Off The Chart: 19 April 1987

Off The Chart: 19 April 1987

If you’re not already full of chocolate, join us on Off The Chart this week for a trip back to Easter Sunday 1987! Inside your hollow chocolate-flavoured show this week you’ll find a family size bag of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits, a three-pack of tracks the week’s new albums, a selection box of the day’s events, a fun size look at the US chart and the top five singles in full.

  • Who had a massive hit album that surprisingly failed to translate into singles success?
  • Which female duo replaced themselves at number 1 as part of a larger group?
  • And which song became a belated hit due to its use in an entirely unrelated movie?

Tune in and find out!



Listen to Off The Chart on Noisebox Radio at 9pm every Tuesday! 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 11am on Friday, or catch up on Mixcloud after that.
