Whether you’re calling all the heroes or just putting on some camouflage and fighting for yourself, you can take a couple of hours off to listen to this week’s Off The Chart! Steve and Julian are dragging us back to this day in 1986 for two hours of less obvious hits, three tracks from the week’s featured album, a look at the day’s events, a hit from the French chart and the top five in full. Which half of a famous duo made a break for freedom this week with his first solo hit? Which brothers fell out so spectacularly that they now front two rival versions of their ’80s band? And whose farewell D-side became a double A-side? Click PLAY to find out!
If you enjoy Off The Chart but find it’s just not long enough, why not head over to our Patreon page and subscribe to us for a teeny amount of cash every month? You get access to the exclusive deluxe edition of the show with bonus 12″ mixes and the foreign chart rundown, as well as all sorts of other bonus content including regular Further Off The Chart shows where we play some of the records that come up in conversation on the regular shows. You can have all this for as little as $1 a month – 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!
