We’ll try and keep Orwellian disinformation to an absolute minimum on Off The Chart this week as we go back to this day in 1984! As usual there’s a brace of hits you might not remember, plus three of the week’s new albums, a look at the day’s events, a quick jaunt down under to look at the Australian chart, and back home for the top five in full.
- Which top five hit is back in the top 40 right now in 2020?
- Who had to wait 29 years for their next hit album of original material?
- And which song spent twenty consecutive weeks at number one on two different albums?

There’s a podcast too!
For those of you who enjoy the nonsense we talk but don’t have time to listen to the music, we’ve put the talky bits together with some exclusive extras to make a podcast! This week’s show involves a nightclub for cats, a breeding ground for Level 42 members and what Princess Anne said about Daley Thompson. It’ll all make sense if you listen.
