New at 68, "Thank You" was the only hit single for Liverpool band The Pale Fountains, although they had two hit albums in 1984 and '85. The single peaked at no.48. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

The Cure had already scored two top 40 hits before releasing the deliberately commercial-sounding "Let's Go To Bed", but despite being new at 57 this week, somehow it only got to no.44. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Simple Minds had been threatening the charts for some time, releasing four albums before they finally cracked the top 40 with "Promised You a Miracle" and "Glittering Prize" which both made the top 20; "Someone Somewhere (In Summertime) didn't do so well, peaking at 36. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

No.18 in Canada this week, "Start Tellin' The Truth" was the second of six top 40 hits for the band Toronto, formed in, um, Toronto in 1979. One of their other songs "What About Love?" was later a top ten hit for Heart. #ICEOTWF #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Down a place to no.5, the brackets around the word "Sexual" in the title of Marvin Gaye's "(Sexual) Healing" were exclusive to the UK and were added so the BBC could refer to the song simply as "Healing". #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio

Dionne Warwick had her first hit back in 1964 but "Heartbreaker" was her first chart entry since 1974 and her biggest ever UK hit, reaching no.2. Written by the Bee Gees, the song sold 4 million copies worldwide and made no.1 in Portugal. #OffTheChart #NoiseboxRadio
