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.
3 March 1983
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to other radio shows, but luckily it's Off The Chart time again! This week we're heading back to 1983 for a look at the UK singles chart, including a load of obscure, forgotten and neglected hits. We'll top that up with some of the week's other UK charts, a look at the news, some TV and radio highlights, the day's gig guide, a track from a Peel Session broadcast on this day, a hit from the West German chart and the top five in full to round things off.
