Off The Chart: 20 January 1987

Off The Chart: 20 January 1987

Come back to January 1987 with Steve and Julian on this week’s Off The Chart! There’s a veritable blizzard of forgotten and half-remembered hits, a track from an international chart, three tracks from the week’s featured album and the top five in full. There’s also a forfeit track, which you don’t have to listen to if you back us on Patreon – just $1 a month gets you access to the forfeit-free version of the show. Whose hit had to be changed to fit Radio 1’s broadcasting hours? Which knight of the realm made a record and didn’t even get paid for it? And who got to number 1 due to an administrative error? 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!
