Live from Sandy MacPherson’s New Year party at the Village Hall, Strathpeffer, join us for two hours of hits, headlines and Hogmanay hijinks on the final Off The Chart of the decade! We’re looking at the last singles chart of 1983 and playing lots of obscure and forgotten hits, as well as three of the week’s new albums, a round-up of the day’s events, a quick look at the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK’s top five in full.
- Who saved themselves from being one hit wonders by reaching number 99 with their follow-up single?
- Who became the youngest person ever to have a UK top 75 hit?
- And who had their only ever hit album this week, 28 years after their only hit single?
Tune in and find out!
