Wild Planet is the second studio album by American new wave band the B-52's, released in 1980 by Warner Bros. Records.  As with their first album, the B-52's traveled to Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas to record Wild Planet. The album charted for 27 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 18, and it was certified Gold by the RIAA.

F*U*N  F*A*C*T:  Film director Gus Van Sant later referred to the song "Private Idaho" in the title of his 1991 film My Own Private Idaho and thanked the band in the film's credits, although he did not seek approval from the band to use it.
