The trailblazing Blondie helped shape the New York music scene in the 1970s bringing punk to the mainstream and reaching No. 1 with the 1980 hit “Rapture,” the first major single to feature rap vocals. They would go on to notch several more hits including “Call Me,” “Heart of Glass” and “One Way or Another.” Throughout the decades, their music has endured thanks to steady touring and honors like their 2016 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Added Harry and Stein: “We are so happy to be working with a progressive company. We are looking forward to the future with Hipgnosis’ forward thinking team.” Hipgnosis Songs recently released its annual report, which showed its revenues soaring in its first full year of business, climbing to $81 million in the 12 month period ended in March 2020 from around $8.9 million in the preceding period.
