Kate Bush propelled to the top of the British charts thanks to Stranger Things

(London) Kate Bush’s hit Running Up That Hill reached number one on the British charts on Friday 37 years after its release, thanks to the success of the Netflix series Stranger Things , of which the English singer is dressing the new season.

Kate Bush thus broke several records, in particular, that of the longest period between the release of a single and its accession to the top of the charts. She also becomes, at 63, the oldest female artist to top the charts.

Running Up That Hill is also ranked number one in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland and is enjoying a meteoric rise in the United States.  

The title had risen to third place when it was released in 1985 but experienced a huge resurgence in popularity thanks to the success of Stranger Things, the song playing an important role in the plot of the fantasy series returned to Netflix at the end of May for an explosive fourth and penultimate season.  

It features the gang of friends from the fictional town of Hawkins in 1986, six months after the Battle of Starcourt Mall, facing a new supernatural threat.

“I am overwhelmed with the extent of love and support the song is receiving,” the artist responded. “I must admit that I am moved by all this. Thank you so much for making the song number one so unexpectedly.”

Running Up That Hill dethrones Wham!’s single, Last Christmas, which last year topped the UK charts 36 years after its release.

Kate Bush had already been number one in 1978 with her Wuthering Heights title.
