Off The Chart Gold: 9 July 1988Steve and Julian are on holiday, but Past Steve and Former Julian are here to bring you Off The Chart Gold with a remastered show looking at this week in 1988! Join them for the usual mixture of forgotten and half-remembered hits, three of the week’s new albums, an international hit, the Arthur Dent Moment, a look at the day’s events and the top five singles in full.

  • Which legendary band finally enjoyed a second top 40 hit eight years after their first?
  • Which former teen idol returned in a band that sounded like a firm of solicitors?
  • And who became the youngest person ever to write, perform and produce a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100?

Tune in and find out!



Listen to Off The Chart on Noisebox Radio at 9pm every Tuesday! And don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart. If you’re not around, you can hear the show again on Noisebox Radio at 11am on Friday, or catch up on Mixcloud after that.
