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.

9 June 1985

Off The Chart: 9 June 1985 (500th show)

Nothing special going on today, nothing to see here, just the FIVE HUNDREDTH EDITION of Off The Chart! Yes, despite considerable odds we've made it to the big 500 and we've been rewarded for our efforts by having to pick the bones out of a chart from this week in 1985! All the usual features are here, including a look at the album chart, some news stories, TV and radio highlights, the day's gig guide, a hit from the Japanese chart and of course the top five in full, plus a special bonus item... stay tuned!
