Released in the US & Canada in 1982 from the album Upstairs at Eric's. Great song.

Originally peaked at #73 pop (though #1 Dance) in 1982; one of many 80s songs that it's hard to believe didn't chart higher in light of all the recurrent play it gets. Also probably one of the most misidentified songs by title (I and probably most who first heard it without the title mentioned thought at first it was called "Move Out".)

This is such a great song. It still sounds so fresh even now. I love the way Alison sings on this. Her laugh that went on to be sampled countless times is iconic.

I like it.
This also crossed over to the R&B chart, peaking at #31.

One of my all-time favorite 80s dance/new wave/synthpop songs. The song still sounds good today as it did back in 1982. I always assumed this song was a big pop hit (chart-wise on the CHR/pop charts) as I often heard it as an 80s flashback on B96, Q101, 101.1 The Mix, 100.3, and defunct 103.5 Jammin' Oldies when I was younger. Both "Situation" and Yaz's other big 80s hit "Don't Go" are classic 80s songs that I have never grown tired of.

40 years ago this week, Situation debuted at #90 on the September 18, 1982 Billboard Hot 100.
