Off The Chart: 24 February 1985

Off The Chart Live: 24 February 1985

It’s a special occasion on Off The Chart this week as we reach our 100th edition! To celebrate, we did the whole show live and unedited – it may be a little bit rough around the edges in places, but it didn’t go anywhere near as badly as we expected. Which alien brothers were actually two members of a huge ’80s bands in disguise? Which teenybop idol grew up and wrote new lyrics to an old Cliff Richard song? And who expressed a desire to moon HM The Queen? 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!

 

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!
