Kate Bush declares Stranger Things an epic piece of work

British singer-songwriter Kate Bush has revealed she is exceptionally pleased at the reception her song 'Running Up That Hill' has received after it was featured in the fourth series of Stranger Things.

In the show, Max Mayfield, played by Sadie Sink, is found to be listening to the song on her Walkman.

Revealing that she has been a fan since the first season, Bush said: "When they approached us to use Running Up That Hill, you could tell that a lot of care had gone into how it was used in the context of the story and I really liked the fact that the song was a positive totem for the character, Max".

Many fans took to social media to express how the song was a perfect fit for the tense, emotional scene.

Bush continued: "I’m really impressed by this latest series. It's an epic piece of work - the shows are extremely well put together with great characters and fantastic SFX.

"It’s very touching that the song has been so warmly received, especially as it’s being driven by the young fans who love the shows.

"I’m really happy that the Duffer Brothers are getting such positive feedback for their latest creation. They deserve it."

Since the release of the new season, the leading single from Bush's fifth album Hounds of Love has climbed its way up the charts, 37 years after its original release.

Bush has also thanked the series for giving the hit class "a new lease of life."

"It’s very touching that the song has been so warmly received, especially as it’s being driven by the young fans who love the shows," she said.

What was originally a No 4 hit in Ireland in 1985, is now hit No 1 on the Irish Spotify Chart, No 1 on the Irish Shazam Chart, and No 1 on the Irish iTunes Chart.

The feature has also scored Bush her first Number One on the Billboard albums chart.
