No sooner have we finished one dexy on Off The Chart than we start another one! We’re going back to 1988 this week at the start of another ten week cycle that will take us right up to Christmas. But let’s not worry about that now, we’ve got two hours of obscure, neglected and forgotten hits, three new albums, a round-up of events, a trip to the French chart and the top five in full to get through first.
- Which Olympic anthem was written with Elvis in mind, even though he died a decade previously?
- Who wrote an answer song to a John Lennon track, even though it didn’t need one?
- And which hip-hop act featured Doctor Dré, but not Dr Dre?
