"Atomic - The Very Best of Blondie" is a compilation album of recordings by the band Blondie released by EMI/Chrysalis Records in the UK and the rest of Europe in late 1998, shortly before the band issued their successful comeback album "No Exit" and the UK #1 single "Maria".
"Atomic - The Very Best of Blondie" includes the band's best known songs from the 70's and 80's as well as two new remixes of the title track. The compilation reached #12 on the UK charts and was re-released in June 1999 with a bonus disc as "Atomic/Atomix - The Very Best of Blondie".
