Lets get Blondie to No.1 Blondie achieved a record with Maria for having No.1s in the 60s 70s and 80s If Good Boys gets to No.1 they have another record for the only band to get to No.1 in those decades and the 00s keep requesting Good Boys.

The Good Boys single entered the Australian charts this week at number 37. Lets hope it goes higher than that next week. Blondie don't yet have a deal with a record label for America yet and so the date for the release of The Curse Of Blondie is not certain. Jimmy Destri reports that the band are waiting to see what reaction the single gets in Australia etc so that the band have a new hit record behind them. There are apparently record company's waiting to sign them up.

The video for Good Boys have been posted on the Sony Australia site. The video which is filmed in color and black and white is excellent and has a circus theme together with a storyline and I think its one of the best videos Blondie have ever had. You can check out the songs clips and the video at.

The song is not a fast song but rather has a similar tempo to the likes of Rapture. It has a very catchy chorus and fan feedback has been very positive so far. This song should be a huge hit.
