Kate Bush issues statement after Stranger Things pushes Running Up That Hill into UK chart

Kate Bush has issued a rare statement after finding her track Running Up That Hill at number eight in the UK chart. The song has seen a spike in popularity since the release of Stranger Things series four on Netflix.

The American sci-fi show, released on the streaming platform last week, follows a group of teenagers as they bid to stop a series of extra-terrestrial beings. With plenty of pop-culture references it has been favoured by fans of the 80s as well as those who play table-top games such as Dungeons and Dragons.

But this series has seen British singer Kate Bush as the unlikely star of the show. Having been released in 1985, Running Up That Hill first hit number three in the charts - but has now re-entered almost 37 years later.
