About this listen

This week, we rewind to October 15, 1982, a UK chart soaked in contradictions and bursting with personality. Culture Club was breaking boundaries, The Beatles were back from the vault, and synth-pop stood side by side with soul, ska, and even a dose of Fame. From Ultravox’s urgent anthems to Musical Youth’s ganja-free groove, it’s a countdown full of energy, rebellion, and unforgettable hooks.
