DURAN DURAN DOCKS AT WARNER CHAPPELL

Warner Chappell will administer the majority of Duran Duran’s catalog from 1986 to date, as well as all current and future compositions. Included are the global hits “Notorious,” “All She Wants Is,” “Ordinary World,” “Come Undone” and others.

Duran Duran’s next studio album is on the fall schedule; a world tour will follow.

“Duran Duran redefined the modern pop landscape in the ‘80s, and over the past four decades, they’ve remained endlessly creative, continuing to evolve and reinvent themselves,” said Warner Chappell Music Co-Chair & COO Carianne Marshall and Co-Chair & CEO Guy Moot. “As brilliant songwriters and visual pioneers, the band’s distinctive, original approach has continued to influence successive generations of artists, even as they have continued to raise the bar.”

Speaking on behalf of the band, singer Simon Le Bon said: “We worked with both Carianne and Guy before they joined Warner Chappell, and we have long admired the kind of creative approach they bring to publishing. We are very much looking forward to this new partnership and to a successful future together for our catalog.”

Duran Duran’s most recent studio album, 2015’s Paper Gods, became their highest-charting release in more than two decades, hitting the top five in the UK and the top 10 in the U.S.
