While this name was officially dropped before release – with, for example, the UK & US TV adverts calling it simply "Duran Duran" – uniquely, the commercially released UK cassette version still titled it Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) on the tape itself though this was almost certainly in error. Instead, the name was originally used on two different UK promo cassettes prior to release – one calling it The Wedding & the other The Wedding Album. While officially titled Duran Duran worldwide – the general belief that the alternative name was first adopted by fans post-release, due to the use of the members' parents’ wedding photos on the cover, to differentiate it from the 1981 album, is incorrect. The cover art by Nick Egan features wedding photos from the parents of the four band members. The singles " Ordinary World" and " Come Undone" reached the US top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
