Decade is a greatest hits album by the English pop rock band Duran Duran, released on 13 November 1989.[8][9][10]

The remix single "Burning the Ground" was released to radio to promote this album. It was created by producer John Jones by mixing snippets of the band's biggest hits from the previous decade into a new piece of music. However, the track was not included on the Decade album itself. The tracks "My Own Way" and "New Moon on Monday" were also not included, even though both were top 20 hits in the UK.

Decade's track listing included various hits from all of Duran Duran's albums and presented them in mixes that were popular and mainstream among the public. Hence, it includes the Nile Rodgers edit of "The Reflex" and the single edits of "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Notorious", and "Skin Trade", as well as the Shep Pettibone single mix of "I Don't Want Your Love". Although there are many versions and single edits of the song "Rio", the compilation uses the UK album version, as well as the UK single version for "Save a Prayer".
