Sara chats to singer Alexander O'Neal about 1987 masterpiece album 'Hearsay' - and who are we to criticize?! The much-loved singer headlines Greenwich Music Time on July 4th.

Hearsay, widely regarded as one of the greatest R&B albums of all time, went triple platinum and spent over two years in the UK album charts spawning no fewer than seven charting singles, including Criticize, Fake and Never Knew Love Like This. Alexander talks about being signed by Prince, falling out with Prince and the love that UK fans have for his music.

The Megamix checks out the Top Five from this week in 1989 and there's another Novelty Song.
