Parallel Lines, released in 1978, was the third album from the band
Blondie, and also their most popular and best selling. It was the first album to be produced by
Mike Chapman, who continued producing the band's albums until
The Hunter in 1982. The album reached number 1 in the
United Kingdom in September 1978 and has one of the most recognised and era-defining album covers of all time. Left to right on the cover are Infante, Stein, Destri, Harry, Burke, Harrison. It contains several of the best-known Blondie hits, including "
Heart of Glass," "
Hanging on the Telephone", "
Sunday Girl" and "
One Way or Another." - no fewer than six of the twelve tracks were in fact issued as singles, either in the U.S. or the UK. On
Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time Parallel Lines is rated as #140.
