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.
6 October 1989
Feeling a hot temptation to listen to this week's Off The Chart? Then just walk right in for two hours of obscure, neglected and forgotten hits from the UK singles chart this week in 1989! We'll even throw in tracks from the album chart, dance chart and the "Other Chart", plus a look at the day's news, the TV and radio highlights, and absolute shedload of gigs, a hit from the West German chart and then the top five in full to bring everything to a close right on time.
