Blondie

Blondie is an American rock band that first gained fame in the late 1970s and has so far sold over 60 million records. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk rock scenes. Its first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles and was noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
Lead singer Deborah Harry achieved a level of celebrity that eclipsed other band members, leading to tension within the group that led to its disbandment in 1982, although the band reformed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number one single in the United Kingdom with "Maria" in 1999.
Today they are considered one of the most interesting and influential bands of the Punk Rock, become the unique musical group that has secured numbers one in three decades consecutive.
