That's because decades are one thing, while "the xx's" is another.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

"Therefore, its first decade is from AD 1 to AD 10, the second decade from AD 11 to AD 20, and so on. So, although "the 1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, "the 197th decade" spans 1961 to 1970. A decade may also refer to an arbitrary span of ten years."
