Join us for another jaunt into the past as we revisit this day in 1985 on this week’s Off The Chart! As always we’re bringing you two hours of hits you weren’t expecting, plus three of the week’s big new albums; a look at what was going on in the news; TV, radio and gig highlights; a trip to Canada to see what was going on in their chart; and the top five singles in full whether you like it or not.
- Which band staged a mini reunion with solo singles by its two main members sitting next to each other in the chart?
- Who released a single in a plain sleeve because their regular sleeve designer didn’t like the remix?
- And which TV comedian recorded a tribute to a civil rights activist?
