From the 19th June 2022 NME.com article "Kate Bush looks set for another week at Number One with 'Running Up That Hill'".
( https://www.nme.com/news/music/kate-bush-looks-set-for-another-week-at-number-one-with-running-up-that-hill-3250975 )
"Last week, 'Running Up That Hill' was the most streamed track on the planet and reached Number One on both the Spotify charts in the UK and the US after earning 57million streams in just one week.
As well as being Number One now in the UK, it's also Number One in Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland. In the US, it's currently Number Four in the main chart and Number One on the Billboard Global 200 chart, making it Bush's biggest ever hit in America 37 years after its original release.
...
'Running Up That Hill' originally reached Number Three in the UK in 1985 and charted again in 2012, when it reached Number 12. ...
...
The song was written and produced by Bush and featured on her fifth studio album 'Hounds Of Love', which was released in 1985, debuting at 30 on the Billboard chart, where it currently stands at No 12.
Bush now has boasts the longest-ever gap between Number One singles in Official Chart history, with 44 years between her 1978 chart topper 'Wuthering Heights' and 2022's 'Running Up That Hill'.
Bush now also claims the record of longest time taken for a single to reach Number One on the Official Singles Chart, with it being 37 years since the single was first released."
By The Charismatic voice and I liked the analysis she noted about Kate having continuity to her voice, unlike a number of modern pop singers. She has a weight to her lower notes that continue up through her vocal range.
I like that it was Winona Ryder badgering the producers to use her song.
The kids are the ones putting her at number 1 in 2022 - so I don't want to hear about the kids today with bad taste. They just need to be exposed to better.
I didn't hear that song until I was nearly 50. I thought it was pretty cool but when I was 20 pretty sure it wouldn't have interested me much.
It seems like something that young people today would be all excited about.
Hounds of Love is the only LP of hers I own - it's an Audio Fidelity colored vinyl edition. I should check out some of her other records some day - there's so much great music around I might never get to it.
It was played on 'Stranger Things" and suddenly it had an audience that wasn't born when it first came out.
I think I watched 1 episode and turned it off.

And it might happen even more frequently if people could hear the 12" 45RPM UK
version, the quality of which is... staggering... in its presentation.
Great song though in whatever format.

Thanks for the info on the 12" 45RPM UK version.
I'll be on the lookout for a copy of that.
