BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1990
“Love Shack” is a single by American new wave band The B-52’s from their 1989 album Cosmic Thing. It was released on June 20, 1989, and produced by Don Was. The song was a comeback of sorts for the band following their decline in popularity in the mid-1980s and the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson in 1985.
“Love Shack” is considered the band’s signature song and has been a concert staple since its release. Commercially, the single topped the charts in Australia, Ireland and New Zealand and reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number five on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. It also became a top-twenty hit in Belgium and the Netherlands.
