Whether you’re painting a picture, playing cards or firing up the barbie, make sure you’re listening to this week’s Off The Chart! We’re going back to this day in 1983 for a load of forgotten and unremembered hits, three of the week’s new hit albums, a look at what was happening in the world, a sneaky peek at the Australian chart and the UK’s top five singles in full. Which hit song comes from a movie with a perfect 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes? Whose debut single annoyed a certain Radio 1 DJ (apart from the obvious one we all know about)? And who had a number one hit with no music on it whatsoever? Tune in and find out!
Listen to Off The Chart on Mad Wasp Radio at 9pm every Tuesday, or catch the repeats at 2pm on Thursday or 10am on Saturday. You can stream Mad Wasp 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. If you’re somehow not around for any of the radio broadcasts, catch up on Mixcloud from 4pm on Thursdays.

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!
