In 1991, Divinyls released ''[[Divinyls (album)|diVINYLS]]'' on [[Virgin Records]] and the single "[[I Touch Myself]]" which became their only Australian No.1 single.<ref name="OzCharts">{{cite web |url=http://australian-charts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Divinyls |title=Divinyls discography |publisher=australian-charts.com |access-date=31 May 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090202120532/http://australian-charts.com/showinterpret.asp?interpret=Divinyls |archive-date=2 February 2009 }}</ref> The song reached No.&nbsp;4 in the United States and No.&nbsp;10 in the United Kingdom.

A disagreement with Virgin Records stifled future development outside Australia where they released popular albums and achieved two more top twenty singles with "[[I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore]]" No.&nbsp;19 in 1992 and "[[I'm Jealous]]" No.&nbsp;14 in 1995.<ref name="Kent"/> During the 1980s and 1990s Amphlett collaborated as a songwriter with other artists including [[Chrissie Hynde]] and [[Cyndi Lauper]], and both Amphlett and McEntee worked on solo projects.<ref name="McF"/><ref name="Howl"/>

A live album, ''Divinyls Live'', was released in 1991 but Divinyls did not provide another studio album for five years. In the early 1990s, they recorded a series of cover songs for various movie soundtracks, including the [[The Rascals|Young Rascals]]' "[[I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore]]" for ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' (1992), the Wild Ones' "[[Wild Thing (The Troggs song)|Wild Thing]]" for ''[[Reckless Kelly]]'' (1993), and [[Roxy Music]]'s "[[Love Is the Drug]]" for ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Brothers]]'' (1993).<ref name="McF"/><ref name="IMDbCA">{{cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0025353/ |title=Chrissy Amphlett at Internet Movie Database (IMDb) |publisher=[[IMDb]] |access-date=31 May 2008}}</ref>

The song "I Touch Myself" caused such a controversy it had trouble getting airplay in many US-area markets; so much to the point that while performing their song live in Texas at Austin Aqua Fest 1991 the plug was pulled on the band mid-set by organisers.{{cn|date=December 2024}} 

It wasn't until 1996 that their fifth studio album, ''[[Underworld (Divinyls album)|Underworld]]'', was released in Australia by [[Bertelsmann Music Group|BMG]].<ref name="ARDb"/> Despite the success of ''diVINYLS'', Virgin had not kept them under contract and BMG did not release ''Underworld'' in the United States. As with ''What a Life!'', they worked with three producers, beginning with Peter Collins recording "[[I'm Jealous]]" in Nashville, followed by [[Keith Forsey]] for "Sex Will Keep Us Together" and "Heart of Steel".<ref name="McF"/><ref name="Howl"/> Although "Heart of Steel" was chosen as a single, Divinyls discontinued working with Forsey because according to Amphlett "he was a bit too 'pop' for us" and remaining tracks were produced by their drummer Drayton.<ref name="Chrissie"/> By the end of 1996, Amphlett and McEntee had a falling out and separated without formally disbanding Divinyls.<ref name="Herald"/>
