Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran or Lady Gaga… So many artists who are currently climbing to the top of the charts.
So far, nothing unusual.
But since May 27, an unexpected name appears in pole position of the top iTunes in several countries, such as England and the United States.
That of Kate Bush, whose single
Running Up That Hill
, from the album
Hounds of Love
and released in 1985, is once again arousing the interest of the public, thirty-seven years after its success in the bins.
Its broadcast in season 4 of
Stranger Things
is, of course, no stranger to it.
The song indeed resounds in episode 1 and plays a crucial role in the story of Max, embodied by Sadie Sink.

, season 4, the trailer
The never-ending story
Running Up That Hill
was originally titled
A Deal With God.
But the title had been changed by Kate Bush's label, fearing that the song would be blacklisted for religious reasons, in countries such as Italy, France and Australia, explains the
Deadline
site .
This isn't the first time the Duffer Brothers-created series has sparked renewed interest in a vintage track.
The title
Never Ending Story
, signed Limahl, taken from the soundtrack of the film
The
Never Ending Story (1984) and included in season 3 of
Stranger Things
, had generated 800% more searches after the broadcast of the episodes in which it was heard.
It remains to be seen which song will do well in the second part of season 4, which will be released on Netflix on July 1.
