Come back to the summer of 1984 on this week’s Off The Chart! It’s another two hours of half-remembered hits, plus three tracks from the week’s featured album, a look at the day’s events, a hit from the Dutch chart and the top five in full. Plus, as you still won’t back us on Patreon, you’ll be locked into an airtight booth and forced to listen to the week’s most unpleasant hit when you could be enjoying bonus 12″ mixes and the Dutch top 20 countdown. Which session singer was having her only hit with a parody of someone else’s song? Which indie legend scored his first hit with an Elvis cover? And which of this week’s hits took nine years to reach number one? Click PLAY to find out!
If you enjoy Off The Chart and you’d like to avoid the weekly forfeit track, why not head over to our Patreon page and subscribe to us for a teeny amount of cash every month? You get access to an exclusive alternative version of the show which includes bonus 12″ mixes and the foreign chart rundown in place of the forfeit track, as well as all sorts of other bonus content including regular Further Off The Chart shows. We really appreciate it and it all goes towards the running of the site.
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!
