Off The Chart: 10 December 1989

We’re as close to the end of the ’80s as we’ve ever been on Off The Chart this week as we revisit the singles chart of 10 December 1989!

Who took to the streets to demand more parties? Which snooker player cut his own hair during a match? And what links Jimmy Somerville to Vera Lynn? Click PLAY to find out!
