One of the 63-year-old’s biggest hits was conquering the world again, 37 years after that for the first time. – Very interesting, reports the artist.

1985’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” is now the second most-streamed song in the world on Spotify.

It appears from the list of targets of the electric service itself.

The success came after the song’s appearance in season four of the Netflix series “Stranger Things,” which premiered last weekend, three years after season three.

This song is so much more than just an action soundtrack; in “Stranger Things”, it is integrated into the drama – as a consolation song for the character Max (played by Sadie Sink), who mourns the death of his half-brother Billy. And as something a little more dramatic in the series.

Its success was so great that the famous Bush withdrew is now commenting on it himself – on the sitewhere he mainly posts short Christmas greetings and news about products you can buy.

There he describes “Stranger Things” as fantastic and gripping.

– I like that stuff too! Bush wrote.

In addition, he expressed great joy that the young fans of the series gave new life to the song.

– All of this is so much fun! Many thanks to everyone who has supported this song.

Extensive work

British Bush has been an important point of reference in pop music for decades. He is also very careful about using his music.

In an interview with Variation “Stranger Things” music director Nora Felder said they started work on getting a license to run “Running Up That Hill” more than two years ago.

The job was made easier by the fact that Bush was already a huge “Stranger Things” fan.

– We created elaborate stage descriptions that provided as much context as possible, so that Kate and her side gained a full understanding of how the song was intended to be used, Felder said.

On Monday, “Running Up That Hill” took 13th place on Spotify’s daily updated global hit list.

On Tuesday, he rose to fourth place, Wednesday to second – and has since only been behind Harry Styles’ “As It Was”, both of which now play more than eight million times a day. This is a very high number as well for the songs that top this list.

His keen interest in the Bush classics also means that he is now conquering the official weekly based charts in many countries.

For example, he immediately rose to second place on Australia’s hit list on Friday morning. When the song came out in 1985, it reached sixth place in the same country.

In Norway, “Running Up That Hill” is now making its first entry on the VG list, in 20th place.

It’s at the top of Spotify’s daily Norwegian list, and in the week it looks set to make a significant move up VG’s list, Norway’s official hit list.

Top rating

The song is not only known as a single; it is also the opening song on Bush’s most famous album, “Hounds Of Love”.

In 2014, music critic VG at the time ranked the song at the top of their comprehensive selection of Bush’s best songs.

Bush became a sensation when he debuted as a 19-year-old with the single “Wuthering Heights” in 1978.

She went on to become the first female artist to top the UK charts with a self-written song.

After 15 years of hits and a number of best-selling, critically acclaimed records, Bush is quietly withdrawing from the pop circus.

Since then, unexpected retreats have become a habit for the media-shy artist.

In 2005, he released the double album “Aerial” after 12 years of silence. It is recognized as one of his best releases.

In 2014, he performed 22 theatrical concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo venue in London. It was his first concert in 35 years. All the concerts sold out in 15 minutes, and the tribute was huge.

And in 2022, she will be a worldwide hit, 17 years since she last had a hit in multiple countries.
