Every Tuesday at 9pm Off The Chart takes a sideways look at the UK singles chart from the corresponding week in a particular ’80s year. A trip down Memory Lane that takes a detour down Don’t Remember This One Avenue and gets you lost in What The Hell’s This? Cul-De-Sac.
Looking for a retro chart show that doesn’t just play the familiar hits? You’ve found it.
12 May 1983
You've got to make us an offer that cannot be ignored, so listen to Off The Chart, everything we have is yours! Well, maybe not everything, but we can certainly offer two hours of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits from today in 1983, as well as the usual mix of features including the day's top news, TV and radio highlights, the gig guide, a track from a Peel Session broadcast on this day, a hit from the US Hot 100 and the top five in full to round things off. And if that doesn't lead you into temptation, I don't know what will.
