Running Up That Hill

As we approach the end of the year, one person who is counting her blessings (and money) is Kate Bush for the unexpected viral success of “Running Up That.

The song was originally released in 1985 and did okay, reaching the top ten in countries around the world. But after it was featured in Stranger Things in 2022, it blew up, reaching number one on the singles charts in eight countries and all the way up to number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
