Kate Bush's 1985 single is a central part of the storyline for character Max in Stranger Things season 4 volume 1.

Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill has topped the iTunes chart thanks to Stranger Things.

The iconic 1985 track has witnessed a resurgence due to the Netflix series, sending it to the top of the iTunes charts.

It features prominently in season 4 volume 1 of the retro sci-fi series, playing a huge part in Max's storyline - the character played by Sadie Sink.

The song was originally entitled A Deal With God, but was changed by Bush's label out of concern it would be banned in religious countries.
