Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill' is Spotify's most streamed throwback song of 2022
Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" is the most streamed throwback song on Spotify this year.
Spotify defines "throwback songs" as those released over 20 years ago.
The song saw a 8,700% increase in Spotify streams this year, thanks to Netflix's hit show Stranger Things.
Kate Bush's classic "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" has taken the pole position as the most streamed throwback song on Spotify in 2022.
A Spotify Wrapped report on November 30 showed that streams of the song rose by more than 8,700% globally, during the Spring.
"Throwback songs" are defined by Spotify as songs that were released over 20 years ago.
The 64-year-old English singer-songwriter's pop song — which was first released in 1985 — saw a chart resurgence back in June thanks to the latest season of Netflix's "Stranger Things." The 1985 hit played a crucial role in the series, as it was used to symbolize the isolation and alienation that Max Mayfield –portrayed by actor Sadie Sink– felt.
Since the series premiered on May 27, the song went on to top both Billboard global charts in June, dethroning Harry Styles' "As It Was." Back in 1985, the then newly-released song only managed to climb to 30th position on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, per Billboard.
The song has also broken three Guinness World Records: The record for the longest time taken for a single to top the UK single charts, the record for the longest gap between No. 1 singles on the UK single charts, and the record for the oldest female artist to score a top hit on the UK single's chart.
The song was given a "whole new lease of life" by young fans of the Netflix series, Bush said in a statement.
Spotify and Bush did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

The 14 Best Wines At Trader Joe's, According To A Former Wine Buyer
Go beyond $3 Buck Chuck with these expertly picked (and affordable) red, white, and sparkling wines you can pick up on your next Trader Joe's run. Fun fact: For two years I had what some might consider a job that only exists in fantasies or holiday rom-coms: I used to order the cheese and wine for a Trader Joe's store. First off, you definitely don't need to spend more than $10 (or even $5!) to get a quality bottle of wine at Trader Joe's. In my experience you can never go wrong with their imported wines, or any of the Trader Joe's Reserve wines (my favorites range from grand, platinum, all the way to diamond).

McDonald's Launches a Whole New Kind of Restaurant
Digital-forward restaurants are some of the fast-food industry's most controversial new developments -- some see them as a way to cut the use of staff and speed up the ordering process while others describe them as too automated and soulless for their tastes. In the last year, chicken chain Wingstop launched what it called its "restaurant of the future" -- a small front area with ordering screens and no seats or tables and a cash-free concept. While passersby are currently able to use the screens to order, the chain's goal is to eventually transition to only being the place to pick up orders placed online and through the Wingstop mobile app.
