When Kate Bush's single, Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) was first released in 1985, it became one of her most successful and popular songs. Despite its popularity, its climb on the Billboard Hot 100 ended at No. 30. But then Netflix's hit show Stranger Things used the song in Season 4, and suddenly, a new generation of fans was born. The song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 8.
The song became an anthem for the season, thanks to the writers working it into the storyline. As the favorite song of character Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink), she began listening to it constantly as a way to keep tethered to reality when the villain, Vecna, began hunting her.
Three years later, with the premiere of the show's final season, it has seen another surge in popularity. While Max lies in the hospital comatose, Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) keeps playing the song at her bedside, hoping it will revive her. So, of course, the song has been racing its way back up the charts again.
This time around, Running Up That Hill has even made it to the No. 2 spot on Billboard's Alternative Digital Song Sales list. But if a Stranger Things star has anything to say about it, that's where it will stop. That's because Joe Keery, who plays Steve Harrington, is currently occupying the No. 1 spot.
Keery's alter ego is musician Djo, under which he released the 2019 album Twenty and the 2022 album Decide. Two years later, one of the album's songs, End of Beginning, went viral on TikTok. Fans had begun using a line from the song, "And when I'm back in Chicago," in their fan-created videos.
While Keery admitted to Variety that he's not on TikTok, he was delighted when a friend told him what was happening. "It’s pretty cool that people at least connect enough with the song to share it in that way," he said.
Just as Bush's single found new popularity when it began playing on the show, so did End of Beginning when Season 5 started, reacquainting fans with Keery. However, whether Djo can retain the top spot or Bush will take it remains to be seen.
