Off The Chart: 17 November 1982We’re going back to this day in 1982 for another unpredictable edition of Off The Chart! Join us for the usual complement of obscure and forgotten hits, three of the week’s new albums, a round-up of the day’s goings-on, a look at the Canadian chart and the UK’s top five in full.

  • Whose song title was so rude the BBC had to give it brackets?
  • Who didn’t want to record the song that became their biggest UK hit?
  • And who described their third single as “a bit wank”?

Tune in and find out!

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! This week Barry Manilow gets flirty, Neil Diamond sings Blur and Alison Moyet gets potty mouthed about one of her own songs. It’ll all make sense if you listen.
