Two thumbs up for this baby!! 👍👍🫶🎸🎶

A non-album single, following the disappointing performance of their third album "Perhaps", "Take Me To The Girl" inexplicably peaked at no.95 for the Associates. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

New at no.1, "Once Upon a Time", the seventh album by Simple Minds which saw them adopting a more stadium rock sound. It spent just this one week at no.1 in the UK but it went Triple Platinum, spending a total of 84 weeks on the chart. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up to 58 this week, it sounds like Wee Boaby Prince but in fact "Oh Sheila" was the biggest hit for Ready For The World, a six-piece band from Flint, Michigan. It made no.1 in the US but only no.50 in the UK. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

New at 36 on the Disco & Dance Chart, the awkwardly titled "Knees" by Howard Johnson, not Howard Jones, and not the North American hotel chain but a singer from Miami. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up 13 places to 23, "Cities In Dust" was the lead single and biggest hit from Siouxsie and the Banshees' seventh studio album "Tinderbox". It peaked at 21 and was later covered by Garbage. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up to 15, "The Taste Of Your Tears" was the fourth of five top 30 hits in the space of a year for King, produced by Richard James Burgess off of Landscape as was one of the records in the top five. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

No.7 in Japan this week in 1985, "Namaiki" ("Saucy") , the second single release by Miho Nakayama and her first of thirty-one top ten hits in Japan, a run which included eight no.1s. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up to no.4, "Nikita" was the lead single from Elton John's 19th studio album "Ice on Fire". It features George Michael on backing vocals and Nik Kershaw on guitar, and the video was directed by Ken Russell. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Peaking at no.3, and also produced by Richard James Burgess who seems to have single handedly invented house music, "Trapped" was by far the biggest hit for Colonel Abrams, not a Colonel. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Peaking at no.2, "Take On Me" was finally a hit at the third time of asking for a-ha. It was first released in 1984 as an entirely different recording, produced by Tony Mansfield; this was the second release of the re-recorded version produced by Alan Tarney. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

“The catalyst for ‘Don’t Give Up’ was a photograph I saw by Dorothea Lange (Migrant Mother), in the book ‘In This Proud Land’, which showed the dust-bowl conditions during the Great Depression in America. Without a climate of self-esteem it’s impossible to function” - pg
