Pollinator by Blondie
Pollinator is an album by Blondie, released in 2017. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Long Time”, on 2 lists with a best position of #27.
Pollinator, Blondie's eleventh studio album, came out on BMG on May 5, 2017, with John Congleton producing, and it's the New York veterans throwing the doors wide open. More than half the songs came from outside writers, Sia, Johnny Marr and Charli XCX among them, and that cross-pollination gave the album its name; Debbie Harry, Chris Stein and company wrote or co-wrote the rest.
With Clem Burke aboard since the 1997 re-formation, and Matt Katz-Bohen and Tommy Kessler in the ranks, it plays like a reel of the band's magpie instincts, punky and disco-slick by turns, with "Long Time" shimmering like vintage Blondie. Reviews were mostly warm. "Fun" topped Billboard's dance chart, and while the album stopped at No. 63 in the US, Britain sent it to No. 4, their ninth UK top 10 album and their best showing there in 18 years.
