Which Just Dance game features the song 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon?

The story behind the answer

Just Dance 2016 features Walk the Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance.” The song appears in the game’s Just Dance Unlimited catalog, with its in-game release dated January 20, 2016.

Walk the Moon released “Shut Up and Dance” as the lead single from its third studio album, Talking Is Hard, on September 10, 2014. Frontman Nicholas Petricca said the idea came from an experience at a Los Angeles nightclub, where his girlfriend encouraged him to dance. The song’s bright synths and 1980s-inspired rock sound helped make it the band’s biggest hit.

A common mix-up is the gap between the song’s original release and its Just Dance appearance. Because the single became a major hit in 2015, players may associate it with Just Dance 2015, but the official game entry is Just Dance 2016. The song reached No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart.
