Duran Duran was formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England, in the 1980s, and was the spark that ignited the New Romantic movement, which went on to become one of the most popular music genres in the world. The band became a representative of the New Romantic movement of the 1980s. The band was a hit during the MTV boom of the time, and their good looks and the convincing stylishness of their art school-educated members won them a large fan following not only in their native England, but also in Japan. The band's name is based on the villain "Dr. Durand-Durand" who appears in the 1968 science fiction film "Barbarella" starring Jane Fonda. The first album, "Duran Duran," reached No. 3 on the U.K. album chart. Subsequent singles such as "Gravure no Bishojo" and "Hungry Like the Wolf" became hits, and the second album "Rio" was released in 1982. After touring North America, the album became a big hit in the U.S. as well, and its popularity became worldwide.In 1983, they released their third album, "Seven & the Racked Tiger" (#1 in the UK/#8 in the US), and in 1984, their single "The Reflex" became the first single to reach #1 on the US singles chart (and #1 in the UK). With these albums, they defined the sound and style of an era and a generation, and their numerous single hits dominated the charts in the U.K., U.S., and around the world, becoming the soundtrack to the lives of millions of fans.
