My 17 year old daughter has this on her playlist. Imagine how surprised she was when Grammie showed her the original album.

And after 37 years it's finally happened; Running Up That Hill is officially No.1 in the UK Charts

The 80s wasn't ready for this song ahead of its time

R.I.P Del Palmer 3rd November 1952- 5th January 2024. From the early days of bass guitarist in the KT Bush band, Del played on almost every Kate Bush album apart from The Kick Inside and played a huge contribution to the unique catalog of the music Kate gave to the world! You will be sadly missed Del.

Kate Bush is one of the most original and talented artists of all time. I'm delighted that a new generation is having their minds blown.

My 15yo daughter in meltdown seeing mother singing word perfect this song. 😃😛👍

As a 72 year old man I'm tickled that 17 year olds are discovering Kate Bush. You like Kate? Try The Dreaming (1982). It's the most original and experimental album she ever made, and I suspect that's why it was overlooked at the time. On the basis of that record alone Kate's a genius. Every song on that album is formally audacious musically and lyrically like a compressed novel. When I first heard Sat In My Lap on the radio I was stunned. It sounded like a playful mashup of "pop" music and avant-garde European art music! I had to find out where it came from and who made it. I discovered The Dreaming and Kate Bush. That was 40 years ago. I'm so glad Kate is finally getting the recognition she has always deserved.

Even though she's miming on a mid-week light entertainment show, this performance is amazing. She has so much stage presence and charisma. It's such a shame she never liked touring. As someone who's loved her since I was a kid in the 70's, I'd give a kidney or two to see her live. I'm so glad that the world has finally caught up with awesome you are.

If you are reading this Kate...Welcome back! I have followed you from the very beginning and it is an absolute joy to know that new generations will be experiencing your unique story telling.

The reason the song is resonating so well with todays generation via stranger things is simple, it’s an original song sung by a superb artist that never sounded like anything else in 85 and that also applies in 2022. People just recognise brilliance☺️

Kate Bush & Bjork greatest female artists of all time

Im 16, and goddamn her music truly is standalone. Ive never heard such a good artist, pure talent and just stunning sound. (Definitely the music nowadays feels so hollow, so so hollow and empty and just like hungry wolves that are trying to ravish themselves to the top but all the wolves are so equally matched and not even close to how good they could have been. No one will truly ever live up to the legacy of artists like her and just artists around her time. Especially as people only strive to be like the crowd now and never takes risk to truly stand out.)

I used to drive my Mum mad playing this track on it’s original release in 1985. “Hasn’t she got to the top of that bloody hill yet”? I suppose we can all say that now 37 years later, yes, yes she has. I’m so thrilled about what’s happening worldwide at a time when we all could benefit from your infectiously creative positive vibes 💜 🎶 KEEP RUNNING 🎶💜

I love how Stranger Things has introduced this masterpiece to a younger generation. Before it was kinda a forgotten 80s hidden gem. The 1985/1986 synth based productions were incredible and Kate Bush is an absolute legend

They picked the perfect song to re-discover. This is the epitome of timeless. I can't think of a decade that it wouldn't fit in 🔥

From a current teenager: I've been listening to her for years with people my age not knowing who she is when I mentioned her, so I'm SO happy that more kids my age are finally listening to and admiring this goddess!

The emotion she conveys with her face and body when performing this song, always brings me chills

I first heard this song sung by a group called Placebo. My middle son ended his life 12.24.08...this song was on his Playlist (MP3 Player) along with a lot of Placebo, I was hooked. This song has so much meaning to me...because if I only could, Make a deal with God, I'm get him to swap our places! I love and miss you so very much Jordan Michael 💙 Always on my mind, Forever in my heart! ❤️

One of the pioneers in Metal Opera! Where the technology that exists today did not exist, and owner of an incredible vocal technique!

Congratulations Kate! “Running Up That Hill” claims a second week at Number 1 on UK Singles Chart!

Listening to Kate all over again at the age of 57 just makes me feel 20 again. She was always 'experimental', but she usually got it right despite going against what was considered 'commercial'. I went to a school back in 1982 with a lad who was probably more of a musical geek than any of us, and he considered Kate to be a goddess of music and was 'out and proud' of his position. With hindsight of nearly 40 years, I would say that he was on the money as her music never grows old, and has outgrown a lot of music from the time.

For those of you that just found Kate, I am happy for you. Please check her back catalog, because this woman is special.

This song was released 37 years ago, yesterday. Happy anniversary, Running Up That HIll!

I've loved Kate Bush since I was 29, and now I'm 25. Thanks! Kate Bush!

I was a teenager in the 80's and just remember Kate Bush as being pretty weird. There was so much good music back then that I didn't really take much notice of her's. Now, I listen to her songs and am amazed how good they really are. She was probably way ahead of her time and now we are just catching up.

After 40 years of this wonderful hit, the famous and talented artist would not have expected that the hit of her reign would be a soundtrack of an exceptional series! Stranger Things ❤

Discovering music in the age of Kate and Steve Nicks was truly magical.

Imagine releasing a song when you're 27 years old and it reaches number 1 when you're 63 years old

Kate Bush explained in 1985: "It's about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities. "It's saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, to change places, that they'd understand what it's like to be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem." Kate also spoke about the song has been misinterpreted, saying: "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! "And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. "You see, for me it is still called 'Deal With God'. that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title."

Kate never went away ! Every old is new again. Loved Kate when I first saw her on countdown all those years ago like many of my generation ?

Kate Bush... Style!!!

I'm 68 and I used to listen to her in my 20's. Her music is timeless.

*A message to the future generations: Don't let this beautiful masterpiece die!*

This performance always slays! Imagine when this first aired and the naysayers mouths dropped and the fans rejoiced from the sheer brilliance and beauty of this song. Welcome back then, Kate, and welcome back now!🏹

Hands up who a litte bit envious of the younger generations being able to discover Kates work for the first time.............. they can bing listern. We had to wait years between albums.

I niech ktoś spyta, dlaczego Kaśka jest wielka....bo jest. Cudo utwór, fantastycznie ponadczasowy 😍👍

14 years old when I first started listening to this magician of music, now 58 and still think she is out of this world!!!.

I'm glad Stranger Things is introducing new generations to Kate Bush's ethereal music. "Running Up That Hill" was the perfect choice for Max' graveyard scene. So cool this video is remastered in 4K

She has such a beautiful voice❤

How this woman hasn't been made a dame yet is ridiculous.

I'm glad Kate's music is being appreciated by younger audiences while she's still with us, as it often only happens after the artist is deceased, as in the cases of fellow icons Lennon and Bowie.

I mean it's slightly surreal to have all this dug up again and I'm not even sure Kate can relate to it, but it is gratifying for those of us who have been spellbound for OVER 40 FUCKING YEARS.

Growing up in the 80's, Kate Bush stood out. And that was no easy thing in an era of big hair, wacky outfits, large fashion statements and eccentricity. A genuine star and creative talent.

The 80s were filled with true artistic talent from the UK. It's broad depth on display here. I always wondered where the inspiration comes from, but I think it was everything from 60s 70s finally coming together

UK number one 37 years after it was first released. That's both mental and brilliant! A genius song from a genius album by a genius artist.

I'm lucky to be born in 79, this song brings back memories of spending time with my grandad

大好きなアーティストのひとりです高校生の頃より聴いていて40年以上立ちました彼女は色褪せなないない…素敵なアーティスト

I was in college back in the early 80's in Washington when I walked in on a friend playing Kate Bush The Dreaming. It was new at the time in 1982. I fell instantly in love with her music. I really wish she had been as big in the US as she was in the UK. But I got every album. Kate Bush, Nina Hagen and Suzanne Vega will always be my favorite Female singers.

I'm a millenial and I so happy that Stranger Things led me to this masterpiece. Kate Bush is truly a talented artist. I always stunned by the live performance of the older generations, soulful vocals with no special effects and live music.

Masterpiece. Something better than just a song, an experience, a journey.

Fantastic that this level of raw talent is being used in TV series today.

RIP Del Palmer , such a huge influence in my life and a man I respect and look up to.

Bro something about 80s music just feels so much better than today's music

1985 I was 24 & progressin thru to a successful completion a British Army SF course. I listened to Kate' track on a regular basis as I was 'running up those hills' (a metaphor for all the extreme challenges that had to be met and surpassed). It certainly added to all those experiences in a hugely positive manner.

Love this song

I love the drums in this music

I’m 23 and been into this era of music for a few years now, not just Kate Bush, but Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, OMD, Human League, Heaven 17, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Howard Jones, Pulp, The Lightning Seeds, The Christians, Art of Noise, Soft Cell, Midge Ure, Ultravox, New Order, Nik Kershaw, Yazoo, Fleetwood Mac, The Smiths, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds, Tears for Fears, Prefab Sprout, I’ve been absorbing all the new wave, post punk, electronic, art rock and pop I can from this time, and love it all. It makes me so happy to see others following suit all thanks to Stranger Things. She deserves it in droves for her genius!

Well done everyone for getting this track to the number 1 slot where it should always have been.

Kate is so beautiful, her voice is magic. I love her.

magnifique chanson très jolie voix de Kate Bush

This performance was everything

Having only heard this song for the first time in my life literally on Sunday, July 3, 2022. I cannot stop playing it!! The beat, her voice... Absolutely enthralled with this song & Kate Bush!!

One of the most wonderful stars of the eighties (and early nineties). Don't want to offend anyone, but I never was interested to see one of her shows and videos from nowadays. That's another Kate Bush than the artist I venerated as a teen. 🖤

She has such an amazing voice! Her voice is gorgeous. This is a true artist and I’m glad her song is getting recognition from Stranger Things. I’m also glad it was used in a BIG scene and not just in the background or for a dance. It was used for a meaningful scene. Which is exactly what this song deserves.

She left her mark on this world. She lifted my spirit when I was down. What a great human being 👍

I remember first hearing this song on Casey Kasem American Top 40 in 1985. It had such a unique sound to it. Sometimes it gave me chills it was so awesome! God I miss the 80’s!

After watching Stranger Things, this became one of the best songs for me to listen to, and play on the keyboard

Remember this, watched it with me mum and dad.Still relevent 40 years on 🔥.

Pure magic!!! I’ve never loved any woman more than I love Kate Bush.

Really good music always finds a way to touch new audiences , it’s why the stellar artist like Kate and the Beatles will always have their music played by someone somewhere.

I'm so Glad for Kate, so well deserved!!!! and another Triumph of U.K. Musicianship at it's Finest!!!!

Nah the fact that her singing the song live sounds the same as the song it’s self, goes to show that she is truly a top tier singer😳🥲

Saw Kate Bush on tv for the first time on Saturday Night Live in 1978. Instantly became a fan!

Were all running up that hill. Mine is to meet Jesus.

Kate, do you know that when Hounds Of Love was first released I listened to it at last a thousand time? Still, not a week goes by that I don't listen to the entire album (The Ninth Wave is engraved in my soul) or some beauties from it. It’s impossible for me not to dive in such a wonder… it makes me feel so good enjoying the whole world of emotions you share with us with each album. Eternally loyal and grateful❤️‍🔥

KATE WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST AMAZING

I had a powerful fascination back in 1990 with a girl who was a Kate Bush fan. I received a Kate Bush education at that time, and I never regretted it. I even bought a VHS of Kate Bush TV appearances and videos at a vinyl and record collectibles market. I really, really need to go through my hoard of *stuff* to find it again and show my daughter the magic of Kate Bush.

This is awesome!

I read a article that from May 27 - June 23, 2022 generated $2.3 Million in streaming Revenue.

Absolutely sublime. I remember when I first heard this in the 80's. There had been nothing like it before and nothing quite like it since. Utterly brilliant, unique and wonderful, even 37 years later ❤❤❤

I'm from India, i love this song. I got to know about this legendary album through stranger things 4....i hope many people also came to know the same way

We have all loved Kate and her music since the early days. Now the world has caught up with us. We are so far ahead of you.

Kate Bush is top of the charts in 2022. This really great news. It proves that good music is evergreen and never dies. We don't feel that old now Kate. Congratulations!

I had the pleasure of doing the stage sound on Kate's first and only tour and developed the Wireless Headset Mic for her........ not that it has anything to do with her brilliance. She was and is a phenomenon and very few artists are in that category. Still love everything you do Kate, and every memory too.✌🇬🇧

I love this song because it is very relaxing and Kate is a Beautiful Woman with a Beautiful Voice

One of my favorits .

This song is so intense. It rips my heart in two.

Remember watching this as a child on TV and being blown away, I'm so glad a new generation have embraced the music of Kate Bush.

She is still amazing , real music at it's Best 👌

I'm only a year older than Kate Bush and can't believe 40 years has gone by. Check out Kate's Wuthering heights, and her duet with Peter Gabriel Don't Give Up. Both as good as this in my opinion.

One of my favorite songs for almost 20 years. It never gets old.

To anyone saying "it's playback not live" It's the damn 80s. Live singing on TV was very complicated

I was in high school when this came out 80s was a awesome decade

Yes it's a big hill a large mountain yes awesome to see a song finally get no.1. That should of been num..1 then amen. ... We all have a story and storyline and will one day tell that in storytime...om peace amen aho selah I wrote many songs alot of top twenty songs and some number ones and top ten I've been told by many people in my song writing for over 59 years. I'm 71 now much love to all

Stranger things brought me here, and I'm never disappointed.

I am a huge hard-core fan since the beginning. I even moved to England to be able to feel your music more closely and I was lucky enough to be able to exchange a few words with you back in 1997 at one of those Queen´s Royal parties :-) I am thrilled! We are all Running Up That Hill again. Congratulations! xxx

As a fan of her, I admire more and more, and more each time I can hear Mrs Bush so strong, soothing, so sweet, and straighforwardness Songs with a Heavy, beauitifull messages inside, Best wishes of good health to Her and all Family . God Bless...

There are two things the MusicWorld today needs, but will never have again: Elvis Presley and Kate Bush in her prime. What a CHAMP she is! Magical, captivating the heart with a blink of an eye. As a Musician i love her from the bottom of my heart. What an amazing, strong and insanely talented singer and performer she is. She also dances like a feather in the wind. Blessed by God 100%. No one in todays Popworld has her talent and charisma.

I can't EVER explain in exact words how I feel for being born in 1970, when I listen to music these days I feel like a miracle happened, the music from eighties AND nineties is absolutely breathtaking, compared to today feels like little miracles back then 😘😘😘😘😘 ❤️💕🎸🐾❤️💕❤️💕

She's the real deal...
