Finally, with more than thirty-five songs completed, the band signed a two-album contract with Epic Records in June, and completed the new album, now titled Astronaut . The album was released in October 2004 and entered the UK charts at number three and the US charts at number 17. The first single was ” (Reach Up for The) Sunrise “, which reached number one on the Billboard US Dance chart in November and peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart, Duran Duran’s highest chart position since “A View to a Kill” in 1985. A second single, ” What Happens Tomorrow “, debuted at No. 11 on the UK chart in February. A 5.1 mix of Astronaut was created by Jeremy Wheatley for the dual-disc release of Astronaut . The CD side contains the album as-is and the DVD side contains the 5.1 mix of the album in DVD Audio format along with some DVD footage and videos.
