Kate Bush’s resurgent “Running Up That Hill” has topped the UK singles chart. It’s Bush’s second UK chart-topper, following 1978’s “Wuthering Heights.” According to the Official Charts Company, Bush now holds the record for the longest-ever gap between No. 1 singles.
“Running Up That Hill,” a Hounds of Love single, had previously reached No. 3 upon its original release in 1985. The song has regained popularity due to its inclusion in the fourth season of Stranger Things. Bush has released multiple statements about the song’s newfound popularity, and, today, has shared another. “I’m overwhelmed by the scale of affection and support the song is receiving and it’s all happening really fast, as if it’s being driven along by a kind of elemental force,” she wrote. “I have to admit I feel really moved by it all.” Find the full statement below.
