What a hit that was! Debbie Harry, the disco “Marilyn Monroe,” took the hearts of fans around the world by storm, and Blondie’s hits were played until the very last groove on the vinyl. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the song was given a fresh take by Miley Cyrus (once again delighting the male audience in particular), but it is the original that deserves a high spot on this list.
The song appeared on the band’s third studio album, “Parallel Lines,” and was also released as the album’s third single in January 1979 by Chrysalis Records, reaching number one on the charts in several countries, including the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK charts. The same album also featured another huge hit: "Hanging On The Telephone."
