Let’s not worry about the fact that all these songs are now forty years old, just enjoy the ride as we go back to this day in 1982 on this week’s Off The Chart! We’ll distract you with two hours of obscure and half-remembered hits, plus tracks from three of the week’s big albums, a look at the day’s goings-on, an unexpected look at the Danish chart and the UK’s top five in full.
- Which future Eurovision winner covered a song by another Eurovision winner in another language?
- Whose top 40 career consisted of two non-consecutive weeks at number 40 with the same single?
- And whose album was a bigger hit once sides one and two were reversed?
