Off The Chart: 25 August 1985

We’re off back to this day in 1985 on this week’s Off The Chart with the usual lorryload of hits you might not remember or want to forget. We’re also playing all the new entries on the album chart, as well as taking a look at the day’s events, hopping over to Switzerland for a look at their chart, and getting back home in time to avoid quarantine and to play the top five in full.
Whose first UK hit was the only single from their second album that wasn’t a hit in the US?
Which Eurohit reached the UK chart despite a spoiler cover version by an already established British act?
And who recruited the wife of his former musical partner to play on his first solo top 40 hit?
Hit PLAY and find out!
