Set List - All You Need Is Now

In this edition of Set List's Second Act, I am highlighting Duran Duran's 13th album - All You Need Is Now.  Why this album, though?

All You Need Is Now was released the same year I launched Set List.  On this sentimental day, recalling memories of my first concert being Duran Duran, I thought I would relive memories of a profound year in my life - 2010.

Duran Duran's PR firm eagerly encouraged fans worldwide to share promotional banners on their blogs or websites that year.  I remember sharing a huge leader board banner on Set List in proud support.

Upon release, All You Need Is Now gained very decent support.

All You Need Is Now Success -

- No. 11 in the UK (Duran Duran's 13th Top 20 album)

- No. 119 on Billboard 200 (digital release in December 2010)

- No. 29 in the U.S. in March 2011 (physical release)

- 15,000 copies sold in the first week in the U.S.

- As of August 2015, 76,000 copies sold in the U.S.

Genres considered - New Wave/Pop Rock

There are 9 tracks on the digital release and 14 tracks on the physical release.  "All You Need Is Now" is listed first on both.  "Girl Panic!" is listed sixth on both.  I am mentioning "Girl Panic!" specifically because of the video - iconic supermodels portraying Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, and Roger Taylor (as well as Dominic Brown).

My take away from this special day -

Concerts come and go in Chicago, but Duran Duran in 2008 will be the only one I prefer.  Without "Ordinary World" or Astronaut, I would be aware of Duran Duran, but not the fan I am today...and not with Set List.

For these reasons, Duran Duran is a forever inspiration.
