UK singer / songwriter Kate Bush is in the news now.

While she has had numerous hits overseas, in the US, she is best known for her song "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)", which peaked at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1985.

Season 4 of Stranger Things (for those who don't watch this show, it's set in the 80s) has made Bush's song the favorite song of the character Max. The song has played numerous times in the show, and the younger viewers today have started to stream and download it in large numbers, causing the song to go back into the Top 10 in Bush's home (UK).

It has also become a big hit in the US, and this week Billboard Magazine has it at #8 in the Hot 100 chart, 37 years after its initial release.
