RAPTURE

Blondie

1981 UK #5; US #1

Trivia: Blondie's "Rapture" took the burgeoning sound of hip hop and rap to the top of the chart. This was the first song to include rapping and reach #1. Lead singer's Debbie Harry raps on the track, referencing the genre's pioneers Fab 5 Freddy and Grandmaster Flash.
