number nine come undone with its Warren
Cuccurullo developed guitar hook
alternative rock sound audio effects and

expectations and became the only Bond
theme to top the Billboard Hot 100
number seven ordinary world
after some musical experimentation in
the late 80s Duran Duran found their
scent pop sound was starting to lose
steam by the early 90s things turned
around in 1993 with their comeback

first single ordinary world leading the
charge
featuring a melancholy tone the pop and
alternative rock ballad took the band
into the Billboard Hot 100 top five and
into the UK top ten
number six the wild boys inspired by an
apocalyptic novel Simon Lebon wrote the
lyrics to this new way of tune while
Nick Rhodes and John Roger and Andy
Taylor composed the music the result was
a four-minute track filled with chanting
thumping drums and hard rocking guitar
as the only studio-recorded song on
duran duran’s live arena album the wild
boys reached the second spot on both the
US and UK charts number five the reflex
seven and the ragged Tigers third single
wasn’t only Duran Duran’s first
Billboard Hot 100 number one but it was
also a top 20 smash worldwide

musically layered track that also topped
the UK charts
and you can forget Laban’s warbling
during the chorus
number four girls on film
it was with this new wave single that
you can’t help but dance ooh that Duran
Duran had their first taste of
mainstream success in the UK
but it was actually it’s raunchy music

unapologetic use of BDSM barely clothed
girls and more
number three Rio

driving baseline and synthesizer LED
hook
riyo’s title track quickly found top ten
success in their native UK
and now it only found American chart
recognition following a reissue a year
later Rio remains emblematic of the 80s
thanks to its electronic melody and
well-known music video
multiple artists have also covered the
song
number two save a prayer
there’s just something about the way the
band blends new wave and synth pop in
this moody number off Rio that makes us
feel like they’re taking us on a journey
to somewhere foreign and beautiful

put Duran Duran on the map when it came
to worldwide success
thanks to its lively keyboards abiding
guitar riff and the bonds vocals hungry
like the wolf showed off Duran Duran’s
musical chemistry
