Kate Bush could climb to #1 on the singles chart with “Running Up That Hill.” The presence of the 1985 classic in the fourth season of the mystery series Stranger Things ensures high streaming and sales figures.
On June 10, “Running Up That Hill” entered the official UK singles chart at number 2, setting a new chart record. According to Billboard, an initial projection based on the latest 48-hour sales and streaming data shows the single will climb to number one in the UK.
The song is currently number 4 in the “Official Charts” in Germany. Last week he was 14th.
Also successful in Australia
Kate Bush recently topped the Australian Singles Chart in Australia for the first time in 36 years. While “Running Up That Hill” a week before it had entered the single charts at number two, this time the song managed to land at number one. Here Bush overtook Harry Styles “As It Was”.
“Stranger Things”
The hit series is set in the fictional small town of Hawkins in the 1980s. In the new season, series character Max (Sadie Sink) listens to Kate Bush’s song over and over again on her Walkman. The first seven episodes of the fourth season of Stranger Things were released on Netflix on May 27th. Viewers can watch the season finale in the form of episodes 8 and 9 on the streaming provider from July 1st. Another final season is planned.
