It spent a long time in the British charts – it came into the charts in November 1981 and was still there in February 1982.

I have to say I'm with JT on this one. My least favorite song on Rio, though that's not to say I dislike it. It's just, well, not a favorite.

You Duran fans are going to want to check out tomorrow's White Label Wednesday, where I tackle John's solo effort…

The “Rio” version has always been one of my favorite tracks from that album…I found it odd they never did it live, especially in NYC. Thanks for explaining why.

And I always thought perhaps there was a recording studio on “45, between 6th & Broadway”, which is why he was singing about it. That doesn't explain the 7-Up bit though.

Ah! But where is “7-Up, between 6th & Broadway?”
