Zephyring 45 Yrs, Icons Blondie Earned Their First No. 1 Via The Hot 100 THIS WEEK W/ ‘Heart of Glass,’ (1979.)

"On today’s episode of Billboard‘s Chart Rewind, we look back at Blondie hitting their first of four No. 1s on the Hot 100 with their hit “Heart of Glass” in 1979.

Blondie hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week in 1979. “Heart of Glass” was the group’s first No. 1 hit on the chart. Co-written by lead singer Debbie Harry, the song brought in a new and exciting disco sound for the group. It was the first of four No. 1 hits. They later hit No. 1 again with “Call Me” in 1980, “The Tide Is High” in 1981 and “Rapture,” also in 1981.

Although the group continued to see success on the charts, it was “Heart of Glass” that led the way." - Billboard.com
