Looking for two hours of obscure, forgotten and barely remembered hits from this day in 1985? It’s got to be Off The Chart, just 10 cm from this website. Join us as we blunder through the UK singles chart, stopping off along the way for three of the week’s new albums, the news headlines, TV, radio, gigs, a quick trip to the Swedish chart and home in time for the top five in full.
- Which sixties star returned to the chart on the mid eighties’ hippest record label?
- Who scored seven top five hits in 1985 alone?
- And who was the first singer to reach number one in the UK twice with different recordings of the same song?

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 podcast looks at the day’s hits and events as usual, taking in the fourth best song called “The Power of Love”, the hijacking of Demis Roussos and what happens when Bob Dylan and Shane MacGowan try to have a conversation. It’ll all make sense if you listen.
