Duran Duran - Ordinary World 1992

"Ordinary World" is a song by English pop band Duran Duran, released in December 1992 as the first single from their seventh studio album and second self-titled album, commonly known as the Wedding Album. The ballad, written by the band and co-produced with John Jones, reached number 1 on the US Billboard Top 40/Mainstream chart, the Canadian RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart, and the Italian Singles Chart. It also peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 2 in Iceland and Sweden, and number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song was nominated for Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically in May 1994. The music video was nominated for MTV Video Music Award's Best Cinematography in a Video in 1993. Lead vocalist Simon Le Bon sang the song with Luciano Pavarotti at a benefit concert for War Child. "Ordinary World" remains one of Duran Duran's most popular songs and, in October 2021, was their second-most streamed song in the UK. Le Bon noted the song lyrics are about "trying to get over the death of a best friend. And putting it into words freed me, absolutely. It really worked for me emotionally and mentally. Everyone who heard it could apply it to something in their life, but for a different reason."

"Ordinary World" received a total of 75,2% yes votes! 💖 Previous Duran Duran polls: #21 "The Wild Boys", #133 "The Chauffeur".

Rio

Duran Duran

The identity of the model whose likeness graced the cover of Duran Duran’s album “Rio” has finally been revealed.

Marcie Hunt-Dinkel, the co-owner of a small winery in Napa, is the woman with the “cherry ice cream smile” who inspired Patrick Nagel’s artwork for the classic 1982 album, experts confirmed.

The band’s fans spent decades searching for the original image used by the Playboy illustrator. Over the weekend, Mark Walker, a Nagel expert, and art broker Monica Moynihan, a fan of the artist, announced their discovery on Instagram.
