Off The Chart: 29 October 1989

Off The Chart: 29 October 1989

Don’t tune in at 19:00 or 18:14, but 21:00 hours sharp for this week’s Off The Chart! We’re heading back to this day in 1989 for two hours of hits, headlines and hokum including the usual brace of hits you’ve forgotten or never knew in the first place, plus tracks from three new hit albums, a round-up of the day’s events, a surprising international chart and the top five singles in full. Which post-Popmaster classic only made it to number 97 on the UK singles chart? Who scored seven top forty hits from their 1989 album, none of which made the top ten? And who decided they’d rather jack and Fleetwood Mac at the same time? Tune in and find out!

Listen to Off The Chart on Noisebox Radio at 9pm every Tuesday, or catch the repeats at 2pm on Thursday or 10am on Saturday. You can stream Noisebox Radio via their website, their apps for iOS or Android, or through TuneIn and MyTuner – and don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart. If you’re somehow not around for any of the radio broadcasts, catch up on Mixcloud from Thursday evening.
