Which R.E.M. album includes the hit 'Everybody Hurts'?

The R.E.M. album that includes the hit “Everybody Hurts” is Automatic for the People.

Released on October 5, 1992, Automatic for the People was R.E.M.'s eighth studio album. Its reflective, often melancholic material followed the enormous success of Out of Time, but instead of making another guitar-driven rock record, the band pursued a darker and more orchestral sound.

“Everybody Hurts” became one of the album's defining songs. Written by R.E.M. with producer Scott Litt, it features a prominent string arrangement by Led Zeppelin bassist and composer John Paul Jones. The song's direct message about enduring despair helped it reach listeners far beyond the band's alternative-rock audience.

The album also includes “Drive,” “Man on the Moon,” “Nightswimming,” and “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite.” Out of Time is the frequent wrong answer because it contains “Losing My Religion,” while Green contains “Orange Crush” and Monster contains “What's the Frequency, Kenneth?”
