popdose.com/bottom-feeders-the-rock-end-of-the-80s-part-14/It’s the last week for the letter D, as we take a look at more tracks that hit the Rock charts but failed to cross over to the Billboard Hot 100.Duran Duran “Girls on Film” 1983, #19 Strangely enough, “Girls on Film” never crossed over to the Hot 100. Duran Duran broke big time in the US of course with Rio in ’82 and then Capitol decided to re-release their self-titled debut with a slightly different track listing. The bigger hit, “Is There Something I Should Know” was added to the record and the single version of “Planet Earth” shows up but the lead track “Girls on Film” still gets played today. Without the re-release it might have ended up being a deep cut instead.

Yep, another one of those "Hits that never was" (at least in the US), much like Save a Prayer: songs as well known (in large part thanks to MTV - well, plus the fact that they're masterfully written, played, and produced songs) as many mega-hits that charted much higher.
