The singer and songwriter Kate Bush this Friday (17) topped the charts in England with his 1985 hit, “Running Up That Hill”, breaking several records with the song that was reborn thanks to the series from Netflix , “Stranger Things” .
“Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” reached its best position, at No. supernatural horrors in a fictional Indiana town called Hawkins.
The song, from Bush’s “Hounds of Love” album, has done well on the charts in several countries, including the United States, since the first episode pack of “Stranger Things” season four hit Netflix in late May.
Bush, who rose to fame in 1978 with her debut single “Wuthering Heights,” with which the 19-year-old singer won fans with her unique voice and dance steps, made a rare comment on the song’s newfound popularity and said that she was a fan of the science fiction series created by brothers Matt and Ross Duffer.
“It’s very touching that the song was received so warmly, especially given the young fans who love the series,” Bush, 63, said in a statement earlier this month.
The Official Charts Company said Bush broke three official chart records on Friday: longest time for a single to reach number one — 37 years — as well as oldest female artist to ever put a song at the top.
And 44 years since she last had a No. 1 song in the UK, with “Wuthering Heights,” Bush now holds the record for the longest break between No. 1 singles in Official Chart history.
