''Eat to the Beat'' is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Blondie. It was certified Platinum in the United States, where it spent a year on the ''Billboard'' album chart. Although it peaked at No.17, it was one of ''Billboard''s top 10 albums of 1980.〔"Talent in Action Year End Charts" ''Billboard'' December 20, 1980: TIA-12〕 It also hit No.1 on the United Kingdom album chart in October 1979〔(UK Official Charts Company )〕 and was certified Platinum by the BPI. ==History== The album includes a diverse range of styles as pop, punk, reggae, and funk as well as a lullaby. Three singles were released in the UK from this album ("Dreaming", "Union City Blue" and "Atomic"). "The Hardest Part" was released as the second single from the album in the US instead of "Union City Blue". According to the liner notes of the 1994 compilation Blondie's first video album was produced in conjunction with this record, featuring a promotional video for each of the album's 12 songs. It was the first such project in rock music.〔(Once More (Into The Bleach): Blondie Returns For Its Fifteenth Round )〕 Most of the songs were filmed in and around New York, the exception was the "Union City Blue" music video, which was filmed at Union Dry Dock, Weehawken, New Jersey. Each video was directed by David Mallet and produced by Paul Flattery. The video was initially available as a promotional VHS in 1979 and subsequently released on videocassette and videodisk in October 1980.〔McCullaugh, Jim.
