Almost There!: A Collection of the Greatest Original Number 2 Hits

Almost There!: A Collection of the Greatest Original Number 2 Hits is a compilation album featuring Duran Duran, released in Europe by Disky during 2003.

About the album
This is a three-disc budget box set from Disky Records, featuring a collection of songs that were hits. Each track failed to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart, stalling out in the second spot.

The compilation includes Duran Duran's "Save A Prayer", the third single taken from the platinum album Rio. The seductive ballad was held off the top spot by Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger" and became Duran Duran's biggest selling single of 1982.
