It’s the first week of our summer holidays, so there’s no new Off The Chart this week, but instead here’s another chance to jump back to this week in 1980 in a show from three years ago. All the usual features are in place: the obscure hits, the new albums, the look at what was going on and our first ever visit to the South African charts, culminating in the UK’s top five in full as always.
- Which moderately successful band got so fed up with their record company they split into two much more successful bands?
- Which song was already ten years old before it reached number one in 1980?
- And which one hit wonder’s mother wrote a very famous song indeed?
