Kate Bush - Finally has a big hit in America!

After decades with no top 25 hit in America, Kate scored a #1 Billboard hit last week with the reissue of Running Up That Hill. Who would have even believed that she could do this now when her brilliant music was never commercial enough for mainstream radio when it was first released. Yes, I know that this happened with the help of the song being featured on Stranger Things this season and then became a thing on Tik Tok and streaming, but it even is starting to become a major hit on Top 40 and Adult Contemporary radio. This puts a smile on my face when most news these days doesn't.

She's amazing indeed but her music was always niche, some die hards might be upset with her sudden rush of notice. Good for her, the makers of Stranger Things paid a good deal to play her song.

This post has been modified from its original thought. It has been formatted to fit into the space and run in the time allotted.

I still didn't like that song.
Great scene in Stranger's Things, but it would have been stronger if Max died. Way stronger.

They still didn't memtion Prince in that show. Would be great if they used some of his music.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
