Off The Chart: 2 July 1980As we ease over the hill into the second half of the year, rest assured that everything on this week’s Off The Chart is at least forty-four years old and the passage of time is therefore ultimately meaningless. Yes, it’s 1980 this week, and we’ve trawled the Record Business singles chart to bring you your regular allowance of obscure, neglected and forgotten hits, plus three of the week’s new albums, a look at the day’s news, TV, radio and gigs, a track from a Peel session broadcast on this day, a hit from the Mexican chart and the top five singles in full.


Listen to Off The Chart on Noisebox Radio at 9pm every Tuesday, with a bonus hour of additional hits from the same chart at 11pm in Off The Chart Too! And don’t forget you can join in the show chat on the Noisebox Radio Discord server. If you’re not around, you can catch up on Mixcloud after that.
