It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank… ah no, my mistake, it’s the Off The Chart studio. Join us for a festive sleigh ride through the Christmas chart of 1987! There’ll be the usual offerings of hits you’ve forgotten about, plus three of the week’s new albums – such as they are – as well as a round-up of the Christmas Eve events, a look at the Swedish chart, and the top five in full.
- Which group took sixteen years to follow up their only UK number one hit?
- Which single got into the UK top fifty without even being released here?
- And what record was voted the best cover version of all time?
Tune in and find out!
