Come back to this week in 1983 as Steve and Julian unearth some forgotten hits on Off The Chart! There’s also three tracks from a featured album, a look at the day’s events, a Swedish hit and the top five in full. And that’s not all! Back us on Patreon for just $1 a month and get access to bonus 12″ mixes and the Swedish chart rundown, instead of the terrible forfeit track. Who sang for the British royal family and Princess Grace of Monaco but only got to number 92? What album did the NME call “a terrible, useless sort of art that makes self pity and futility a commercial proposition”? And who were Blues & Soul magazine’s “most promising newcomers” of 1982? 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!
