Off The Chart: 4 May 1983

Off The Chart: 4 May 1983

Come on, join us for another edition of Off The Chart as we go back to this day in 1983! We’ll have a mix of forgotten and obscure hits, three of the week’s new albums, a look at the day’s events, a run through the Canadian chart and the top five in full before the show descends into utter chaos.

  • Who released a single in four different colours of vinyl, each shaped like a different animal?
  • Who, according to Wikipedia, “sings vocal hiccups, then does grunting”?
  • And which Cardiff band was a decade ahead of Prince?

Tune in and find out!
