Off The Chart: 5 December 1985It’s not only the end of the dexy but the end of term on Off The Chart this week as Steve and Julian break up for the Christmas holidays, so naturally they’ve been allowed to bring games in for the end of term. In between the merriment they’ll still be bringing you loads of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits from today in 1985, as well as three of the week’s new hit albums, a look at the day’s goings-on, a hit from the New Zealand chart and the top five in full, before they go off to do other things for the next ten weeks until Off The Chart returns in February.



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 hear the show again on Noisebox Radio at 3pm on Saturday, or catch up on Mixcloud after that.
