We’re back at the start of the year for another Off The Chart! Join us for a trip back to the 7th of January 1989 involving two hours of hits you might not remember, three selections from the album chart, a jaunt down to New Zealand for a look at their chart, a rundown of the day’s news, TV, radio and gigs, and concluding with the week’s top five singles in full.
- Which keyboard wizard and guitar hero wrote a song together over the phone?
- Whose first four singles all hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart?
- And which of this week’s hits was sampled on two other records that were both top ten hits in the same week sixteen years later?
Tune in and find out!
Listen to Off The Chart on Mad Wasp Radio at the later time of 10pm this Tuesday! You can stream Mad Wasp Radio via their website, their apps for iOS or Android, or through TuneIn and MyTuner – and don’t forget to tweet along using the hashtag #OffTheChart.
