- Comments
- This was the eighth and final program hosted John Peel in 1984, although on this occasion he is not partnered by regular sidekick David Jensen, but by Tommy Vance. This was the week's singles chart.
- “That’s a punchy little number, isn’t it? That’s Chicago at No.8. Now we bring on the Newcastle posse... The Kane Gang.”
- “That’s The Human League and “Louise”... one of their best songs I think. I mean I know you don’t care what I think, but I thought I’d tell you anyway.”
- “At 26, The Human League and “Louise”... I knew her mother.”
- “And at No.11, the Pointer Sisters – “I’m So Excited”. No, really!”
