Blondes Have More Fun

"Blondes Have More Fun" is British musician Rod Stewart's ninth studio album, released in November 1978. This album marked Stewart's foray into disco music, a popular trend at the time. The album was commercially successful, reaching number 3 in the UK and number 1 in the US, though it was met with mixed critical reception. The lead single, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy," became one of Stewart's biggest hits, reaching No. 1 in both the UK and US.

After enjoying a successful career throughout the 1970s as a rock singer, Stewart chose to embrace the disco trend that was at its peak in 1978. The first single, "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy," became a chart-topping hit in multiple countries, including the UK, US, and Australia. Despite criticism from some who disapproved of his shift toward disco, the song was a major commercial success. Stewart defended his move, noting that other iconic artists like Paul McCartney and The Rolling Stones had also experimented with disco music by that time.

The second single, "Ain't Love a Bitch," was also a success, reaching No. 11 in the UK and No. 22 in the US. The third single, "Blondes (Have More Fun)," peaked at No. 63 in the UK, making it Stewart's lowest-charting single there at the time, although it performed better in Ireland, reaching No. 23.

The album itself peaked at No. 3 in the UK, earning platinum certification by Christmas, and it reached No. 1 in the US, where it was eventually certified triple platinum. It also charted in the top ten in several other countries.
