Although initially successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of 'Parallel Lines' in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including "Call Me", "Atomic" and "Heart of Glass" and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
'Eat to the Beat' is the fourth studio album the band, released in September 1979. The album was certified Platinum in the United States, where it spent a year on the Billboard 200, propelled by the singles 'Atomic', 'Dreaming' and 'Union City Blue'.
