The Songs of 'Stranger Things': Kate Bush and More Great Needle ... (Variety)

“Stranger Things” music supervisor Nora Felder could very well be hearing her name when nominations for the 74th annual Emmy Awards are announced on July 12 ...

He begs Dustin and Mike to come to the game. Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” is played for a brief sync, but that’s the 1985 Baltimora hit song “Tarzan Boy” being played before things get ugly. The Byers family has just relocated from Hawkins to California. It’s March 21, 1986, and Eleven (played by Millie Bobby Brown) is going by the name of Jane. As she reads aloud a letter to boyfriend Mike (Finn Wolfhard), “California Dreamin'” plays, setting the scene. Joyce (Winona Ryder) now works from home selling encyclopedias and Will (played by Noah Schnapp) is “acting weird” and painting a lot. Fast forward to episode 4, when Max faces a nightmare (avoiding spoilers) and Kate Bush’s music practically saves her life. This season Felder uses needle drops to root audiences deeper in the ’80s with needle-drop picks ranging from Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” to the Beach Boys’ cover of “California Dreamin’.”

Stranger Things Rockets Max's Favorite Kate Bush Song to No. 1 on ... (TVLine)

Thanks to 'Stranger Things,' Kate Bush's 1985 hit 'Running Up That Hill' tops the iTunes chart.

“Running Up That Hill” got a second wind in 2012, when Bush rerecorded her vocals down a semitone and laid them over the the backing track to 1985’s extended version of the song. MTV put the video in rotation, too, but initially rejected the original clip, featuring Bush performing an interpretive dance, in favor of her lip-synching on a BBC talk show. Stranger Things has turned the iTunes chart upside down.

Meanwhile, the soundtrack on which the song appears is also climbing up the iTunes charts, with the “Stranger Things” season 4 soundtrack currently at No. 6. Thanks to its exposure in the show, viewers have apparently rediscovered the song, nearly 40 years after its original release; as TVLine reports, just two days after the new season’s debut, “Running Up That Hill” has rocketed up the iTunes charts, capturing the No. 1 spot. The first part of the Netflix hit’s fourth season dropped on Friday, May 27, and the first episode featured a scene in which Max (Sadie Sink) plays Kate Bush’s 1985 track “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)”.

Stranger Things Season 4 Sends 37-Year-Old Kate Bush Song To #1 (Screen Rant)

The song 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush, which is prominently featured in Stranger Things season 4, rises to #1 on the iTunes charts.

This song's reemergence is proof of the fact that the Netflix series still has the power to captivate a general audience. Stranger Things has caused a 37-year-old song by singer Kate Bush prominently featured in the new season to chart on iTunes. Stranger Things—which follows the adventures of a group of kids in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana as they battle horrifying creatures that emerge from a parallel dimension known as the Upside Down—is a retro throwback series set in the 1980s. However, if fans have been seeking out this song across the board rather than just on iTunes, it is entirely possible that the song could chart higher than its original peak at #30 in the Billboard Hot 100, nearly four decades after its release.

The Stranger Things Bump: Kate Bush Tops iTunes Charts (Vulture)

Kate Bush's “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” topped the iTunes chart Memorial Day weekend, thanks to its prominent role in Stranger Things 4.

Thanks to the song’s prominence in the show, the song topped the iTunes charts, and made several more streaming breakthroughs over the weekend. Max’s favorite song is “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God),” and let’s just say that comes up organically in the storytelling and leave it at that. Loving Kate Bush was hardly invented by the Duffer Brothers, though.

How Kate Bush's “Running Up That Hill” became a Stranger Things hit (British GQ)

The 1985 Kate Bush synth-pop banger, which features several times in Stranger Things season 4, is back at no.1 on iTunes.

In the real world, Max is floating above her dead brother Billy's grave, with her friends having just stuck her walkman headphones on her and pressed play. With a bit of Scooby Gang-esque sleuthing, they discover that the only way to save yourself from this guy – who telekinetically breaks his victims' bones, which looks like no craic at all – is by blasting your favourite song as he's trying to make his move (feels less corny in the show, we swear). So, when Max looks like she's about to bite the big one, it's “Running Up That Hill” – good taste, Max – that saves her. “Stuck In The Middle With You” in Reservoir Dogs. “I Got You Babe” in Groundhog Day. And, of course, the actual, no-word-of-a-lie GOAT: Imogen Heap's “Hide and Seek” from the season two finale of The OC. If you know, you know.

“This video is about transformation,” said Myers. “Jo Roy, the director, and I were inspired to express in this video that we can change our story we’ve been living when we follow our hearts and our intuition, our guts. “Running Up That Hill” simmers and boils around the lyrics in Placebo’s stirring rendition with Brian Molko meticulously quavering through each verse as if it were his last. “The impact of the inclusion of ‘Running Up That Hill’ on the soundtrack of ‘Stranger Things,’ season 4 on Netflix has been momentous,” read a statement on Bush’s official Facebook page. In 2021, Care Seat Headrest released two EPs MADLO: Influences and MADLO: Remixes, containing covers and remixes of tracks from their 2019 Making a Door Less Open (MADLO), respectively.
