Off The Chart: 23 December 1988

Off The Chart: 23 December 1988

Come back to Christmas 1988 on Off The Chart as Steve and Julian regale us with some less remembered hits, three tracks from a featured album, an international hit, a look at the day’s events and the top five singles in full. Which top twenty hit took a year and a half to reach the chart? Who got their big break by sending a tape to a man with no brain? And what was the hot new sound of 1964? 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 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!
