Most obviously, "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys, "Rapture" by Blondie, and "One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head.

In general,Hip-Hop may have influenced New Wave's rhythmic precision. Hip-hop and New Wave have a common ancestor in funk and R&B. A lot of the electronics and synthesizers the Hip-Hoppers and the New Wavers used was defined by R&B and funk, at least in pop music. You can hear these influences in everything from Talking Heads to Heaven 17.
Way early on Blondie was a punk band, Blondie has also been credited as disco AND new wave.

Blondie were important in that they sort of, like the Talking Heads, bridged the gap between disco, new wave, punk, and mainstream (albeit new wave influenced) pop, and even funk, hip-hop, and reggae.
