Rio is the second studio album recorded by the British New Wave Music group Duran Duran. It was released in May 1982 through Creator/{{EMI} in the UK and its sublabel Harvest Records in the US.With the promising returns of their self-titled debut album, they began recording their follow-up in the summer of 1981. They sought some post-Disco and American R&B flavor to the sound, and also threw in some other unexpected instruments (like "The Chauffeur", which includes an ocarina).Bass guitarist John Taylor added the Title Track late in the game, recalling it later as "shorthand for the truly foreign, the exotic, a cornucopia of earthly delights, a party that would never stop."While the initial release was huge in the United Kingdom (where it peaked at #2 on the Official Charts Company album chart, scoring another Platinum from the BPI), it sputtered in the United States. After an EP of remixes titled Carnival became popular, the band decided to change their marketing strategy for the other side of the pond, and released a remixed version of the entire album.Their first single in the United States, "Hungry Like the Wolf", would hit #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, further assisted by a popular music video on MTV. The remixed album would reach #6 on the Billboard 200 album chart, and was certified double-Platinum by the RIAA.The album was supported by four singles: "My Own Way", "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Save a Prayer", and the Title Track. "Rio" would also reach #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. All four singles were Top 20 hits on the UK Pop chart, with "Save a Prayer" going highest at #2.A 2001 Enhanced CD edition includes a data track with all the associated music videos. A remastered two-CD collector's edition was released in 2009, which includes all versions of the songs along with various remixes and "Like an Angel" (My Own Way's B-side).TracklistSide One "Rio" (5:33) "My Own Way" (4:51) "Lonely in Your Nightmare" (3:50) "Hungry Like the Wolf" (3:41) "Hold Back the Rain" (3:59)Side Two "New Religion" (5:31) "Last Chance on the Stairway" (4:21) "Save a Prayer" (5:33) "The Chauffeur" (5:10)Runtimes reflect the original release. The entirety of Side One was remixed for the North American market, resulting in their Side One lasting 3:36 longer.Personnel | |
