Unfortunately there'll be no new show on Sunday as Sam's knackered from a mad month workwise. It'll be a repeat of Show 3 counting down from 1980 instead, with '97 to come on 19th October. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

1997 on Sunday next, not a bad chart either! #GRMWR #Sams80s

Forwewarning, I was running long so the Speed Cupboard WILL be utilised, possibly for the beat on this song.. #GRMWR

Ambulance for @covboyden.bsky.social with Ver Mode being played. #GRMWR

Am I air bassing to this Level 42 gem? You bet! #GRMWR

Oh yes, you ARE getting all 8 minutes and 45 seconds of Purple Rain at #25 this week in 1984 - masterpiece. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Love Kills was nominated for a Razzie, I mean, really!? #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Realised during the recording that @tpilmwr.bsky.social played the excellent Mr Solitaire back in August, was still new to me! #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Once had a RedMolotov t shirt with the opening line of this Smiths cracker on it. Love the Smiths, despise Morrissey as an individual. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Genuinely never heard this Stephanie Mills song before putting the show together, and by heck it's catchy! #GRMWR

Having my Nobody's Diary picks featured on F80s last week was a real boost when recording this show earlier in t'week! #GRMWR

First week in the chart overall for The Cars with Drive, heading to the Top 5 twice in part due to Live Aid. Belter isn't it? #GRMWR

Live posts less likely as still winding down from basketball/sorting me tea, but the show will go on! #GRMWR

It's show day once more! Counting down from this week's UK Singles Chart in 1984 from 5pm on @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social - you *know* it makes sense. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Ey up. On the slow bus back to Sunny SK1 so no live NP lists today, them's the breaks. Tuned in and interacting all the same! #GRMWR

It's 4 hours of 70s goodness this Sunday evening on @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social, as the show counts down from this week's UK Top 50 from 1976. As Sam is at the microphone for some women's football commentary this afternoon, posts may well vary. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

That's yer lot! Back on Sunday 7 September, extending the 70s goodness that evening with a look back at 1976. Meanwhile, the 70s goodness for this week begins now with @ssuburbs.bsky.social! #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio

Zager and Evans are up 2 to spend the first of 3 weeks at #1 with In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus), 6 weeks in the US. They never graced the UK charts again, while their follow-up peaked at #100 Stateside. #GRMWR #MadWaspRadio
