Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' Gets Major Reissue After 'Stranger Things' Massive Success

37 years after its initial release and after the success it amassed following "Stranger Things" season 4, Kate Bush will be dropping one of her most iconic songs in a physical form.

According to NME, the English singer's hit track "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" will be reissued as a CD single.

The song, which became a significant contributor to the plot of the hit Netflix series, was originally a part of her 1985 album "Hounds of Love."

Bush's latest merch is currently available for pre-order via Rhino and will be released on September 2.

As described on the website, the CD will feature a "period correct" artwork and a B-side. The single cover features a throwback photo of the songstress aiming a bow and arrow.

Aside from "Running Up That Hill," the tracklist also features "Uner the Ivy."

Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill's Massive Success Over the Past Few Months

After the single was used on the fourth season of "Stranger Things," it immediately garnered massive success despite being released decades ago.

A few days ago, Spotify released their "Top Songs of Summer" list which included the track along with this generation's biggest hits like Harry Styles' "As It Was," Lizzo's "About Damn Time," Elton John and Dua Lipa's "Cold Heart - PNAU Remix" and many more.

Many artists have also belted out their rendition of the song during their concerts/festival performances like Halsey and Kim Petras.

According to music data website Liminate, Bush has earned an estimated amount of $2.3 million after the song was used on "Stranger Things."

It also broke three Guinness World Records: the oldest female artist to hit number one on the charts, the longest time for a song to top the charts in the United Kingdom, and the longest gap between number ones.

Bush expressed her excitement in a rare interview with the BBC in June, saying she knew the song would gain attention again, but she never imagined it to be this big because "the whole world's gone mad."

"The thought of all these really young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is, well, I think it's very special," she said.

She also revealed in the interview that she doesn't listen to her old songs, but when something like this happens (her song gaining popularity), she would edit or revisit the track again.
