Off The Chart Gold: 28 January 1985We’re back with brand new shows from next week, but for now, here’s another chance to hear the 200th edition of Off The Chart! We’re heading back to this day in 1985 for a brace of unremembered hits, tracks from three of the week’s big albums, a look at the day’s events, a quick squint at the Japanese chart and the top five singles in full.

  • Which obscure indie band’s drummer became a huge star on US television?
  • Who changed their name immediately after their breakthrough hit, ensuring they never charted again?
  • And which country superstar had his brain removed and implanted in a chicken? (citation needed)
