‘Stranger Things’ Witnesses a Soundtrack Showdown: Fans Pick Their Top Tunes
Stranger Things not only introduced its fans to the eerie town of Hawkins and its ethereal characters but also delivered a remarkable musical experience. The music served as a conduit, guiding viewers through moments of joy, heartache, and even the depths of despair experienced. One unforgettable instance was ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush, a melody that elevated Max from the clutches of death by Vecna. The impact was so profound that Spotify even curated a dedicated playlist for the show’s devoted fans.
The musical journey ignited a frenzy on X formerly known as Twitter, marked by a trail of discussions. It all began when a dedicated fan account tweeted their cherished track from the show, none other than ‘The First I Love You.’ This tune was a follow-up to ‘The First Lie’ featured in season 2. The song made its debut in Chapter 7 when Robin unveiled her feelings for Steve, and then in Chapter 8 when Eleven reciprocated her love for Mike. This set off a domino effect as fans shared their personal favorites.

In response to this musical exploration, fans eagerly hopped on the bandwagon to select their beloved tracks from the show. Some found selections that harmonized perfectly with their tastes, while others ventured into more distinctive and unique choices.
