I have been a fan of Duran Duran since way back in the early 1980's when they had a string of great hits. Unfortunately, they have failed to reach that level of success again.
This album, their most recent one (studio album, at least) is a case in point, in my opinion. It was released over half a year ago. While the album itself has been quite successful in a few countries, I don't think that a single from the album has even charted in the U.K. (where Duran Duran is from) and I think that the only single that was released in the U.S. is "Pressure Off." It has failed to chart in the U.S. I haven't finished listening to all of the album, and I'm nowhere even close to being an expert on music, so I don't know what issue(s) might be keeping it from being more successful.
Perhaps Duran Duran and/or their record label is trying to breathe new life into the album by offering the album as a freebie for a period of time. As a fan of Duran Duran, I hope that that helps them and their album.
