About this album
The Best Of Blondie is a strong snapshot of the band's rapid rise, bringing together the sharp hooks, cool attitude and genre-mixing that made them one of new wave's most successful acts. By 1981, Blondie had already turned art-punk roots into mainstream pop power, with hits such as Heart Of Glass, Call Me, Atomic and Rapture showing how easily they moved between disco, reggae, rap and straight-ahead rock. The compilation captures the group at the point where style, wit and commercial instinct aligned, making it an essential summary of their late-1970s and early-1980s breakthrough.
