Off The Chart

Off The Chart is a weekly '80s retro chart show with a bit of a twist. Every week we look at a UK singles chart from the corresponding week from one of the years in the 1980s and play two hours of hits from that chart that you wouldn't normally expect to hear on a chart show, interspersed with some of the day's events, TV and radio highlights, an overview of the album chart and a look at an international chart from the same week. Our aim is to remind you of the music you love but also alert you to some gems you might have missed. The show goes out at 9pm every Tuesday on Mad Wasp Radio with a repeat on Friday mornings, and is available on Mixcloud shortly after the repeat.

Of course this content all takes time to create, and what started out as a hobby is now taking over our lives! If you enjoy the show, a small pledge from you would be greatly appreciated as it would help us with hosting costs and allow us to create even more content.

In return for your kind patronage we offer a variety of rewards, including a weekly extended version of the show which includes the full top ten and some bonus 12" mixes. There's also an additional exclusive show Further Off The Chart once every ten weeks which allows us to play records we talked about but which didn't fit into the normal shows. Higher tiers give you more exclusive content including behind-the-scenes videos, early access to our spin-off show Now Parlez, the chance to have your own personalised edition of Off The Chart and even a genuine original 7" single from the 1980s! Can't be bad.
