The artist posted a rare statement on her website (https://www.katebush.com/news/stranger-things) Sunday, reacting to the Netflix series making her 1985 hit song a hit yet again. "You might’ve heard that the first part of the fantastic, gripping new series of Stranger Things has recently been released on Netflix," she wrote. "It features the song, ‘Running Up That Hill’ which is being given a whole new lease of life by the young fans who love the show - I love it too! Because of this, 'Running Up That Hill' is charting around the world and has entered the UK chart at No. 8. It’s all really exciting! Thanks very much to everyone who has supported the song. I wait with bated breath for the rest of the series in July. Best wishes, Kate."

"When the first series came out, friends kept asking us if we’d seen Stranger Things, so we checked it out and really loved it," said the British singer in her second statement in response to her 1985 hit "Running Up That Hill" soaring up the charts thanks to the Netflix series. "We’ve watched every series since then, as a family. When they approached us to use 'Running Up That Hill', you could tell that a lot of care had gone into how it was used in the context of the story and I really liked the fact that the song was a positive totem for the character, Max." She added: "I’m really impressed by this latest series. It’s an epic piece of work – the shows are extremely well put together with great characters and fantastic SFX. It’s very touching that the song has been so warmly received, especially as it’s being driven by the young fans who love the shows."
