Written and originally recorded by US singer/songwriter Jules Shear, Cyndi Lauper covered "All Through The Night" for her debut album "She's So Unusual". Although it only made no.64 in the UK, it was a top ten hit for Cyndi in the US, Canada, Austria and Chile. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

No.40 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week in 1983, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts covering Sly and the Family Stone's "Everyday People". It peaked at 37. #ICEOTWF #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up to 21, "Midnight at the Lost and Found" was the title track from Meat Loaf's third album and the only single from it to reach the top 40, peaking at 17. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Peaking at 33, "Autodrive" was the last of four UK top 40 hits for Herbie Hancock, following up his biggest hit "Rockit" which made no.8 in August. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Peaking at 53, "Can't Stop Running" was the first single and only hit for Space Monkey, aka singer/songwriter Paul Goodchild. The track features some of Wham!'s backing musicians including bassist Deon Estus. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

New at no.11 on the Heavy Metal chart, "Too Wild To Tame" was the only single release by Avenger, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1982 by vocalist Brian Ross and bassist Mick Moore, both former members of Blitzkrieg. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Killing Joke is another band who only had five top 40 hits; surprisingly most of them came in the '90s. "Me Or You?" peaked at no.57 this week in 1983. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Sort of kind of the title track of the second China Crisis album "Working With Fire and Steel - Possible Pop Songs Volume Two", "Working With Fire and Steel" the single was new at 66 this week in 1983 and peaked at 48. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Another in the ongoing series of great singles by XTC that didn't make the top 40, "Love on a Farmboy's Wages" was up to no.67 this week in 1983 but peaked at no.50. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up to 71 this week, "Love Reaction" was the first of seven UK hit singles for Divine. Despite being a total ripoff of "Blue Monday" it was produced by New York producer Bobby Orlando, who also produced the original version of the Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls". #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

"Home By The Sea" from the twelfth studio album by Genesis, called *checks notes*.... "Genesis". New at no.1 this week it went Double Platinum and spent just short of a year on the chart. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

New at a peak of 81, remarkably this version of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was the biggest of four hits for O'Chi Brown, whose other claim to fame is that she recorded the original version of "Whenever You Need Somebody" which became a much bigger hit for Rick Astley. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

New at 87, La Serenissima (Theme From "Venice in Peril") by Rondo Veneziano, a real Italian chamber orchestra but depicted as featureless metal robots in baroque costumes, like an orchestral Daft Punk. It peaked at 58 but a remix by DNA was a top 40 hit in 1990. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

New at 96, "Don't Let It Go To Your Head" was the fifth of six UK hit singles for Fat Larry's Band, formed in Philadelphia in 1976 by singing drummer "Fat" Larry James. Their biggest hit was, of course, "Zoom" which made no.2 in 1982; this one peaked at 93. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Down a place at 98 this week in 1983, "Dance With Me" would rally the following week to climb to a peak of 85, making it the biggest (!) of three hits for Lords of the New Church. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

There we go then! Thanks for listening, stay tuned for another hour of 1987 goodies and join us next week for 1983! G'bu! #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

This was the second of two weeks at no.1 for perhaps the ultimate one hit wonder, in that they never even tried to follow up their no.1 hit. A collaboration between two acts on the 4AD label, Colourbox and A.R. Kane, "Pump Up The Volume" was technically a double A-side with "Anitina (The FIrst Time I See She Dance)" which could well be the least remembered no.1 hit of the 1980s. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Up 5 places to peak at no.2, "Full Metal Jacket (I Wanna Be Your Drill Instructor)" by Abigail Mead and Nigel Goulding. Surprise! Abigail Mead is actually Vivian Kubrick, daughter of the movie's director Stanley. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

A non-mover at no.3, the second single and title track from Michael Jackson's "Bad" album which was spending its last of five weeks at no.1 this week. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Down to no.4, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was the best selling single of 1987, the winner of Best British Single at the 1988 Brit Awards, and the debut single by the former PWL teaboy Rick Astley who was voted Best Act Ever at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
