Blondie front-woman Debbie Harry has blamed Madonna for keeping her from topping the charts, insisting she is “not very happy” with the pop star’s reign.
The Tide Is High singer quit touring at the height of her solo career in the mid-1980s to nurse bandmate and then-boyfriend Chris Stein through a potentially fatal skin disease.
But by the time she had reunited with Blondie to return to the spotlight in 1997, Material Girl Madonna had catapulted to fame and become the world’s most successful female artist.
The 63-year-old admits she was “kind of shocked and not very happy” the pop star had such a triumphant hold on the music scene.
She says, “I had been performing all along, with one or two solo albums. But we could not get back with Blondie because of legal problems. We had publishing issue, messy record company deals, management problems.”
“But I think that is one of the things that Madonna was very smart about. That is something she can be commended for.”
The Heart Of Glass singer insists, however, that she bears no hard feelings towards Madonna, adding that, “She says that she listens to me for inspiration and I have to take that as a compliment. But we are vastly different.”

Boo hoo !, poor Debbie…..
Debbie and Christopher Ciccone should get together and have a “poor me” pity party- blaming all of their troubles on Madonna.
LOL @ Debbie Harry
What an incredibly short memory you have. Madonna didn’t kill your career. It’s the fact that you looked after your sick boyfriend at the time, who in turn dumped you, that killed your career.
Yet again, Debbie is harping on about ‘Madonna this’ and ‘Madonna that’, which is ancient history. Your record company wanted to give up on you, you sad harrigan! Your not even worthy of cleaning Madonnas’ designer boots.
Go back to your Blondie tribute act
Transferrance.
What!!!!?????!!!!!!!!????
Hahahahahaha Pleaseeeeeeeee, Debbie, shut up and things will be going ok to you …. xDDD
WHAT A LOSER!!!
SHUT UP OLD AND MEDIOCRE WOMAN, U DESTROY YOUR VOICE & CARRER WITH DRUGS AND EXCESS!
SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!
What she says makes no sense to me. If she and Madonna are vastly different, why isn’t there room for them to both be successful?
Madonna and Mariah are also vastly different and they both have their fans.
If Debbie Harry didn’t remain successful, that has nothing to do with Madonna.
Blondie hit the nerve in the 80es with a few songs, and they or Debbie Harry never evolved or produced anything else. I don’t even consider people like that real musicians. They were lucky at one point to meet the zeitgeist, and that’s it.
yet another brilliant singer assigning blame on M. she should be flattered at how much Madonna has been inspired be Debbie. Hello? “She’s Not Me?” Very Blondie.
stop blaming M and get to work. As I recall there were a lot of BAD music from Debbie after Blondie broke up.
