From Billboard.com:
'GOOD' TIMING: It isn't every day that a new Blondie song debuts on a Billboard chart, so it's quite the coincidence that the group's first single for the Sanctuary label, "Good Boys," opens at No. 45 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, 25 years to the week after Blondie made its Hot 100 debut with "Heart of Glass."
"Good Boys" is the first Blondie song to appear on the Club Play tally since a 1999 comeback single, "Maria," peaked at No. 9 the week of June 5, 1999. "Good Boys" is the first single from the group's new album, "The Curse of Blondie."
On the Hot 100, "Heart of Glass" debuted at No. 84 the week of Feb. 17, 1979, and went on to become Blondie's first No. 1 hit. Three more chart-toppers followed: "Call Me" (1980), "The Tide Is High" (1981) and ""Rapture" (1981). After "Rapture," "Island of Lost Souls" peaked at No. 37 and was Blondie's last chart entry until "Maria" peaked at No. 82 in 1999.
