It’s that time again! Join us for another Off The Chart as we revisit this day in 1986 to unearth a couple of hours’ worth of forgotten and obscure hits. There’s also the usual quota of the week’s new albums, a look at what else was going on, a return visit to an international chart we haven’t done for ages, and the top five singles in full to round off the show.
- Whose third album took twenty-four years to complete?
- Which late performer set two chart records in two weeks?
- And who got so annoyed that his song wasn’t a hit, he rewrote it for someone else six months later?
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!
