35 Years After release, Kate Bush Crosses A Whooping 1,000,000,000 Mark on Spotify for Her ‘Stranger Things’ Feature
There are a few timeless melodies that none can defy. Sometimes it may get lost in the pages of history, but just a glance through one’s glorious past rejuvenates all the memories. And it seems like Netflix’s Stranger Things has done a fantastic job in bringing the Nostalgic Era back in its fourth season. Being the epitome of the ’80s pseudo-nostalgia, as they call it, from clothes to setup, and songs, the Netflix original has brought it all back.
Speaking of which, the applied sentimentalism in the series is truly selling. From Mullets to Billy’s hairstyle, Miley Cyrus, the mall, and whatnot, everything made a thrilling comeback. However, if there is one thing that has had youngsters hooked with its feature is Kate Bush’s ‘Running up that Hill.’ When they first released the Dear Billy episode, it brought with it what you could call the apparent success of the singer. Her Stranger Things feature had found the topmost spot on Spotify. And now, Kate Bush is certainly running up the hill!
