Pollinator is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band Blondie, released on May 5, 2017 by BMG Rights Management.[2][3]
In contrast to previous Blondie albums, the band recorded many songs that were written for them by other artists, a collaborative process which inspired the album's title. More than half of the tracks on the album were written by other artists, including Sia, Johnny Marr, and Charli XCX, while the remainder were written or co-written by members of Blondie themselves.[4]
Released to generally favourable reviews, the album peaked at no. 63 on the US Billboard 200 chart, with the first single "Fun" reaching no. 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The album was a greater success in the UK, peaking at no. 4 and giving Blondie their ninth British Top 10 album and the band's highest UK chart peak in 18 years.
