Off The Chart: 27 April 1987

Off The Chart: 27 April 1987

Tuesday again? Must be time for another edition of Off The Chart! This week we’re going back to this day in 1987 for two hours of forgotten and half-remembered hits, as well as three of the week’s new albums, a look at the day’s events, a quick romp through the Swedish chart and the top five singles in full.

  • Which unwanted accolade did our Eurovision entrant achieve?
  • Who followed three top five albums with one that only reached number 90?
  • And how did Level 42 get involved with Throbbing Gristle?

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.

Spotify playlists

If you’ve missed a previous edition they’re all on our Mixcloud page, or for a taster of the music we play, listen to our Spotify playlist Way Off The Chart including one track from each show!

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!
