Off The Chart: 29 December 1984Absolutely nothing unusual going on this week, just a normal edition of Off The Chart looking at the less obvious hits from this day in 1984. Along the way we’ll take in some of the week’s top albums, a look at the day’s events, a quick run through the Japanese top ten and back home for the UK’s top five in full.

  • Who had two hit best-of albums in the UK before he’d had a top 40 single?
  • Who had a comedy show on TV and a not intentionally funny single in the chart today?
  • And why did this week’s entire top three return to the top 40 twelve months later?

Tune in and find out!

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! On this week’s podcast we get driving advice from Stevie Wonder, a complaint from an MP and an A-Z of the entire year. It’ll all make sense if you listen.
