By the end of 1989 and at the start of the 1990s, the popularity of synth-pop was fading and losing fans to other momentum-gaining music genres at the time, such as [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], [[techno]] and [[alternative rock]]. After touring for the album finished, the band regained a five-man membership as Cuccurullo and Campbell were made full members of Duran Duran.<ref>

The compilation album ''[[Decade (Duran Duran album)|Decade]]'' was released late in 1989, along with the [[megamix]] single "[[Burning the Ground]]", which consisted of woven snippets of the band's hits from the previous ten years, created and produced with [[John Jones (record producer)|John Jones]], who began working with the band after the release of ''Big Thing''. The single came and went with little fanfare, but the album became another major seller for the band. The 1990 release ''[[Liberty (Duran Duran album)|Liberty]]'' (a retreat from the experimentation of ''Big Thing'') failed to capitalise on any regained momentum. The album entered the UK album chart in the top ten, but faded away quickly. The singles "[[Violence of Summer (Love's Taking Over)]]" and "[[Serious (Duran Duran song)|Serious]]" were only mildly successful. For the first time, Duran Duran did not tour in support of an album, performing on only a handful of club dates and TV shows.{{sfn|Malins|2005|p=213}} Campbell left the band early in 1991, going on to work with [[Soul Asylum]] and [[David Bowie]]. The quartet of Le Bon, Rhodes, John Taylor and Cuccurullo would remain intact for six more years.
