This article contains weasel words: vague phrasing that often accompanies biased or unverifiable information. The making of Notorious during 1986 was a difficult time for Duran Duran. The band had planned on taking a much-needed break after the success of their 1984 world tour, but all of the band members had ended up working on one of two side projects (Power Station and Arcadia). When it came time to record the new Duran Duran album, they found that drummer Roger Taylor was too exhausted to continue in the music business, while guitarist Andy Taylor had developed a taste for the spotlight, as well as for a harder, more guitar-heavy sound than the rest of Duran Duran was prepared to pursue.

1986's Notorious has Andy Taylor contributing on only four songs before leaving to start his solo career, but on the strength of the title track's number two placing and "Skin Trade"'s number 39 mark, the album itself peaked at number 12 in the . and number 16 in the . On the whole, only "Notorious" showed any real. livelihood, thanks to its modern gleam and the catchy stutter of its chorus. Skin Trade" is almost as worthy, thanks to its sultry, seductive air and enchanting but complex rhythmic allure.

Notorious" marked the debut of the new streamlined trio version of Duran Duran, as both Roger and Andy Taylor had left the band by the time the single and album were released. In fact, the acrimonious nature of Andy Taylor's departure was reflected in the song to a certain degree.

Duran Duran continued their hot streak in 1983 with third album Seven And The Ragged Tiger, released in November of that year. Union of the Snake and New Moon on Monday were both Top 10 hits, and they finally earned their first US in the spring of ’84 with the third single, a Nile Rodgers remix of album track The Reflex. The hits kept coming. The Wild Boys, the lone studio track from their live album Arena, hit in late ’84 (thanks in part to a memorable video in which Simon LeBon is tied to a giant water-wheel). Notorious is an album that got a bad deal. It’s far better than its standing in the Duran Duran catalog would make it seem. Because it was a commercial disappointment, it’s rarely mentioned as one of the landmark albums of the 80s, but it is.
