Rod Stewart - Blondes Have More Fun (1978)

After carving a highly successful career throughout the 1970s as a rock singer, Stewart elected to follow the disco trend that was at its peak in 1978 for some tracks of this album. The first single was "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy" which became a number one hit in the UK, US, Australia and a number of other countries. Many critics panned the direction of song towards disco, but it nevertheless became one of his biggest hits. Stewart has since defended the song commenting that Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones had also dabbled with disco music by this time. The second single was "Ain't Love a Bitch", which became a No.11 hit in the UK and No.22 in the US. The third and final single "Blondes (Have More Fun)" peaked at 63 in the UK, his lowest-charting single there at this time, but performed better in Ireland at No.23.

The album itself peaked at No.3 in the UK, being certified platinum by Christmas and was a No.1 hit in the US, where it went double platinum. It also charted within the top ten in a host of other countries.

"Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?" dominates this album as its colossal hit and singular surefire stunner — 1979's number one — as it's a perfect blend of rock and disco. Rod Stewart was continuing his career shift into slicker, sleeker terrain. His voice was still carrying great effect and while the songs are shamelessly tacky, "Dirty Weekend," "Attractive Female Wanted," "Ain't Love A Bitch," and the title track aren't without their guilty pleasures. They use tougher R&B than most would initially assume considering his cheesy leopard-print messiah phase. His cover of the Motown classic "Standin' In the Shadows of Love" seems almost out of place but fits seamlessly amongst the late-‘70s debauchery that suggests plenty of illicit powder and mirrors being employed while the dance floor was warming up. "The Best Days of My Life" is a gentle, acoustic ballad that's been sadly overlooked. Admittedly, there are few transcendent moments here, but it's an accurate snapshot of the way ‘60s rockers were assimilating to the new world and technologies of the impending '80s.
