What a number one to have on this very special show! Huge thanks to @maysiebug.bsky.social for joining us this week, it'll be 1986 next week and there's still another hour of 1982 hits coming up on Off The Chart Too! #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
YES! It only made no.2 on the Official Chart but Chas & Dave hit no.1 on the Record Business chart this week in 1982 with Noisebox Anthem "Ain't No Pleasing You". #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Up 11 places to no.2 on the RB chart and up 16 to no.3 on the Official Chart, "Ebony and Ivory" went on to spend three weeks at no.1 for Paul and Stevie, neither of whom had previously had a solo no.1 hit in the UK. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Only no.3 on the Record Business chart, "My Camera Never Lies" was at no.1 on the Official Chart this week for Bucks Fizz, and apparently not an attack on Margaret Thatcher this time. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Down 3 places from no.1 on both the Record Business and Official charts, "Seven Tears" was the Goombay Dance Band's only significant UK it but wasn't such a big hit in their native Germany, where it ended their run of four top ten hits by peaking at 13. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
"Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" wasn't a hit when first released in 1981 but this reissue became Pigbag's biggest hit, peaking at no.3 on the Official Chart, no.2 on the Record Business chart and no.1 on the indie chart. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
No.43 on the Record Business Airplay Chart, the remarkably titled "Ooh Shooby Doo Doo Lang" was the third single by Aneka in a rapidly nosediving career; her first single "Japanese Boy" made no.1, the follow-up "Little Lady" got to no.50 and this one did nothing at all. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Unusually this week we're off to Portugal for the #ICEOTWF, where at no.10 we find "Se Cá Nevasse…", the title track of the second album by Portuguese band Salada De Frutas. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Up to 22, "House on Fire" was the last of 11 top 40 hits for the Boomtown Rats, and the only top 40 hit from their fifth album "V Deep". #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Produced and co-written by Giorgio Moroder, and used as the theme song for the 1982 movie of the same name, "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" was only a no.26 hit for David Bowie. He later re-recorded the track for his "Let's Dance" album. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Up to 37, "Instinction" was Spandau's last throw of the dice after their last two singles had bombed. They got Trevor Horn in to remix the album track they they all hated, and it got them back into the top ten. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
No.36 on the Disco Chart this week, the confusingly named Voggue with their single "Love Buzz" - sadly not the same one that was recorded by Shocking Blue in 1970 and covered by Nirvana in 1988. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
"Style In Full Swing" from the third and final Peel session recorded by Boots For Dancing, a band formed in Edinburgh in 1979. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
From her second album "Select", "View From A Bridge" was new at no.40 and became Kim Wilde's fifth consecutive top twenty hit, but also her last for three years. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
One of the (English) Beat's best known songs in the US, where it was played regularly on MTV, "Save It For Later" only got to no.47 in the UK. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
Not to be confused with "You've Got The Power" by Win, "You Got The Power" by War was up to no.56 on the Record Business chart this week and peaked at 58 on the Official Chart. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
The sixth studio album by Motörhead, "Iron Fist" followed "Ace of Spades" and "No Sleep Till Hammersmith" into the top ten. It was the last to be recorded by the classic power trio line-up of Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke and "Philthy Animal" Taylor. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
"Ball And Chain" was the follow-up to XTC's biggest hit "Senses Working Overtime", but couldn't carry on the top ten success of that one. It reached no.58 on the Official chart. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
New at 74, "Time" was the debut release by American band Stone, not the British rock band Stone or the Finnish thrash metal band Stone. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
No.87 this week is the British Electric Foundation featuring Sandie Shaw, with their version of "Anyone Who Had A Heart" from the album "Music of Quality and Distinction Vol.1" which also features guest vocalists Glenn Gregory, Tina Turner and... Gary Glitter. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
So... new at no.90 on the Record Business chart, Alvin Stardust with "Weekend", not one of his bigger hits to be fair. He had scored a top five hit with "Pretend" the previous September but wouldn't return to the top 40 until 1984. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
