Kate Bush ‘world has gone mad’ over Stranger Things song

Singer Kate Bush has said her sudden popularity with a new audience after her recent Stranger Things-inspired chart success has been “very special”.

Running Up That Hill went to number one on Friday after being featured heavily in Netflix’s sci-fi drama series.

“It’s just extraordinary,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour on Wednesday.

Kate Nash song makes number 1 after being released some 44 years ago.

“It’s such a great series. I thought that the track would get some attention. But I just never imagined that it would be anything like this.”

She continued: “It’s so exciting. But it’s quite shocking really, isn’t it? I mean, the whole world’s gone mad.”

The song originally reached number three in 1985, but took off again 37 years later when a new generation discovered it through Stranger Things.

The tune is used in a number of episodes of the fourth series, and becomes crucial for the character of Max Mayfield, played by Sadie Sink.
