Season 4 of Stranger Things’ showed that it is still popular and continues to go even after all these years. That too with success. The creators handled the character development of the beloved charters with maturity and explored the depths they had to offer. Both the new and old ones! So much was the success of the show, that this season is labeled as the most successful one out of all four. 

One scene of the show that stayed with the fans till date was the psychological captivation of Max (Sadie Sink) by Vecna of the Upside Down. This showdown became intriguing for the fans with Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill.’ This 80s hit was the perfect addition to the narrative. The song stayed and became topped by the iTunes chart per the LA Times. And now, in 2023, the song got a great recognition for Kate Bush.

Kate Bush got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, thanks to Stranger Things

The resurgence of the 80s hit landed Kate Bush in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after all these years. John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock and Roll Fame, told Variety that Bush was nominated many times earlier before for the same, but things couldn’t work out. What he feels worked out for the yesteryear singer was the “music being played in ‘Stranger Things’ to shine a light on them for a lot of younger people who didn’t know who she was in 1985; they probably weren’t even born yet.”

Fans in the show applauded the song’s placement and soon it became a favorite among the young fans who tasted the legacy of Bush. The Duffer Brothers cleverly placed the song in the sequence where Max experiences her worse fears. The scene got so much attention from fans that they were all gaga over the same.

While Kate Bush got the recognition she long deserved, Stranger Things bagged multiple awards at the MTV Awards this year. Both exciting news for fans of the show. However, what excites them more is the last season of the show.

Expectations From Season 5 of Stranger Things’

Season 4 of Stranger Things answered a lot of questions. The show finally revealed Will’s sexuality, showed how Eleven successfully escaped Papa for good, Eddie’s death and so much more. The show still touches the chords of its fans and will continue to do so. As told by The Duffer Brothers, the last season will conclude the lives of everyone in Hawkins.

Fans have high expectations from the season finale of the show and we know that The Duffer Brothers will serve them right. But all that will have to wait as the show’s production has been paused due to the ongoing writer’s guild strike in Hollywood.

What did you think of Bush entering the Hall of Fame?
