We’re going all the way back to today in 1980 on this week’s Off The Chart for another two hours of hits you’ve forgotten about – or never heard in the first place – plus the usual look at the day’s events, three of the week’s big hit albums, a romp through the Japanese singles chart and the UK’s top five singles in full.
- Which ’70s star returned to the chart for the first time in five years and promptly vanished again?
- Who scored their third number one hit of the year but had to wait 19 years for another?
- And whose latest hit “speaks of the potentially disruptive power of unleashed desire” (citation required)?
