It’s beginning to look a tiny bit like Christmas on Off The Chart as we go back to this day in 1987! Join us for two hours of hits of varying levels of familiarity, tracks from all the new entries in the album chart, a look at the day’s other goings-on, a sniff around the New Zealand chart and the UK’s top five singles in full.
- Whose run of sixteen consecutive top five hits was ended by a song with a familiar title?
- Who had his only solo top 40 hit twenty-one years after his former band’s only top 40 hit?
- And what was the UK’s 600th number one single?
Tune in and find out!
Listen to Off The Chart on Mad Wasp Radio at 9pm every Tuesday! You can stream Mad Wasp Radio via their website, their apps for iOS or Android, or through TuneIn and MyTuner, or ask your smart speaker to “play Mad Wasp Radio” – and don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart.
