Off The Chart: 10 March 1983

Off The Chart: 10 March 1983

Please don’t panic buy this week’s Off The Chart, there’s plenty forgotten and half remembered hits from this week in 1983 to go around! We’re fully stocked with tracks from three of the week’s new hit albums, the day’s news headlines, TV and radio highlights, gigs, a look at the Belgian chart and the top five singles in full.

  • Which punk singer went synthpop and included software for the ZX Spectrum on his solo album?
  • Who recorded the opening track for their new album straight off the radio?
  • And which song plays on a constant loop as part of an art installation in the Namib Desert?

Tune in and find out! (Max. 5 per customer. Please wash your hands before listening.)

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 – and don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart.

Now there’s a podcast too!

Listen on SpotifyFor those of you who enjoy the nonsense we talk but don’t have time to listen to the music, we’re now putting the talky bits together into a podcast! In this week’s episode Steve and Julian discuss hit songs named after biscuits, members of prog bands writing songs for pop groups, and the TV show that got no viewers at all. It’ll all make sense if you listen.
