"Playing with Uranium" comes off Pop Trash, the tenth Duran Duran album, released on Hollywood Records in June 2000. It was their first record after the break with EMI, their label since 1981, and the last one made by the trio of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Warren Cuccurullo. TV Mania produced the track, John Tonks plays drums, Ken Scott and Mark Tinley engineered, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed.
The sleeve went for pure glitz, a rhinestone-studded car that had been Liberace's, but the sales never matched the sparkle. They were poor enough that the Hollywood deal was terminated after this one album, the CD was out of print by 2001, and the band didn't release another album until Astronaut in 2004.
