#2 of DJ Akhu's Top 100 80s Dance Hits Countdown!: 'Hungry Like the Wolf' by Duran Duran (1982)
Well, well, at #2 of the Top 100 80s Dance Hits Countdown we have 80s legends Duran Duran (once again), and their massive 1982 hit Hungry Like the Wolf. This song was originally released on the group's second studio album Rio in May of 1982, and it would hit #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, #5 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as receiving a silver certification by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The music video for the song was based on the Raiders of the Lost Ark film and in 1984 it won the first Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video. Many good reasons to check it all out. I find that as I have come to the end of the top 100 countdown it actually becomes less interesting and more predictable, but since I started it I have discovered heaps of great 80s songs I never previously knew about that would make it on now, and probably bump some of the other places, but that is for another year or day. #1 will be presented shortly, and its hardly a surprise so see if you can guess it, most of you will first try I'd imagine :) Always more to come, so stay tuned.
