What decade is the hit single "Love Shack" by the B-52s from?

The B-52s' hit single “Love Shack” is from the eighties. It was released in 1989, near the end of that decade, as the lead single from the band's album Cosmic Thing.

Written and performed by the American new wave band the B-52s, the song became one of their signature tracks. Producer Don Was helped shape its bright, danceable sound, while the vocals by Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson gave it the band's unmistakable theatrical energy.

“Love Shack” marked a major comeback for the group after a decline in popularity and the 1985 death of guitarist Ricky Wilson. It became the band's first U.S. top-40 hit, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989. It also reached number one in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.

The song is sometimes remembered as an early-nineties hit because it remained popular on radio and in music videos after its release. Its actual release date was June 20, 1989, firmly placing it in the 1980s.
