In 1985, English singer-songwriter Kate Bush released a song called “Running Up That Hill.” It did pretty well — reaching No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
But 37 years after its release, the tune — featured in last week’s episode of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” — bumped Harry Styles’ “As It Was” to No. 2 on the US Billboard Top 10.
The unexpected success also makes her both the oldest and the youngest woman to have a self-written No. 1 in the United Kingdom, Billboard reported.

Good for her. Was a big fan back in the day. She was ahead of her time.
Yeah, it is pretty cool how things turned out.
Then again, I like Stranger Things, too.
Always enjoyed her sound. “Make a deal with God”
I tried to get into it. Just couldn’t. Not sure why. I mean Winona Ryder flips out pretty good...in EVERY scene, LOL!
she still rocks
Wino forever
Winona Ryder is great. Her facial expressions reacting when people say crazy stuff, are priceless.
It’s hard to imagine a time when a music video might be sensuous but non-pornographic.

What we’re getting now is much better than what we got in 2019 with Stranger Things 3. That being said, I’m still dumping Netflix after Stranger Things 4, and Cobra Kai wrap up.
Thanks for posting that. I still have a couple of her CD’s.
GREAT tagline!
Hard to carve out a unique niche in music, but she did. A true artist.
She also sang in a few Peter Gabriel songs, including Games Without Frontiers.
Dolly would have wrecked that song. Kate has that subdued style perfect for that song. Had no idea that was Kate, but it’s an awesome song.
I’ve never heard the song or even of her before. The song leaves me cold.
But that music video is outstanding! There’s nothing like a sensuous male / female dance like that. They are such talented dancers, so unlike 99.999% of other modern “entertainers” who just jump, hump, twerk and screech.
Is that Kate Bush doing her own dancing in that video?
Yes
