It’s almost a 1970s special on your favourite ’80s chart show this week, as we go back a whole forty-five years to this day in January 1980! As usual there’s two hours of hits you might just about vaguely remember, tracks from three of the week’s new hit albums, a look at what was going on in the world, a quick trip to the South African chart and the top five singles in full.
- Which psychedelic rockers had to upgrade their transport to score their first UK hit single?
- Which superstar just missed the UK top 40 with his first hit and had to wait three years for his second?
- And which of this week’s hits was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress?
Tune in and find out!
