A ranking of Blondie's best songs has been published, with various outlets listing their top picks, including the top 15, 20, and 11 essential tracks. However, some outlets appear to have published rankings for different artists, such as Buddy Holly and The Jam, instead of Blondie. Additionally, other music-related topics, including comeback albums and notable albums from 1978, have also been reported on, as well as the death of a musician, Fred Smith, who played bass for Blondie and Television.
