Duran Duran Documentary - Rio

Duran Duran was the band's debut album released in 1981. 

"Girls on Film"

"Planet Earth"

"Careless Memories"

"Night Boat"

Rio, on the other hand, set the stage for profound success on a global level.  Consider the reception -

No. 2 in the UK
No. 1 in Australia and Canada
Gold disc in 1983
Certified Platinum on April 26, 1983 (Roger Taylor's birthday)
Double Platinum status
No. 6 on Billboard 200 in the U.S.
Remained on Billboard 200 for 129 weeks

Iconic songs on Rio -

"Rio"

"Hungry Like the Wolf"

"New Religion"

"Save a Prayer"

"The Chauffer"

Astronaut brought the original lineup back together.  With this being a huge deal for the band and fans, there was a follow up documentary.

Rio launched permanent success for the band and massively growing fan base.  With Rio being a huge deal for the band, there was a documentary filmed in 2008 as a look back at the recording process as well as select studio performances.  The Duran Duran - Classic Albums: RIO DVD truly is fascinating and a must addition to any lifelong Duran Duran fan's collection.
