'Rio'

What a cataclysmically gigantic album especially for the 1980s. Six singles and songs that still get massive airplay a good 30 years after the fact.

The initial plan was to film, essentially, an album of videos taking time between tours to knock out a bunch before one of the guys contracted a tropical disease and had to go back to England and postpone the upcoming tour.

Duran Duran and Rio were actually not as popular in the United States as you might have guessed. It took a little while for American audiences to embrace the album as it was killing in Australia and the United Kingdom. After an EP of Duran Duran remixes hit the club circuit, Rio itself started to gain ground and the album was remixed and re-released. Despite all the singles, it peaked at No. 2 in the United States.

It wasn't until 1983, two years after Rio was released overseas, that "Hungry Like a Wolf" and "Rio" started to climb the charts. They released Duran Duran that same year. At the end of the year, the next album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, was released and the band had five singles in the U.S.'s top 20 from three different albums.

And, of Roger, Andy and John Taylor, none of them are related.
