Although Harry Styles’ “As It Was” maintains its run atop the Billboard Hot 100 for the fifth week, it’s Kate Bush’s 1985 classic “Running Up That Hill” that’s the talk of the town as it has re-entered the chart at No. 8. The revival of the track on the new fourth season of Netflix’s \u201cStranger Things\u201d became the launching pad for the song to outpace its 1985 No. 30 peak and became Bush’s first top 10 breakthrough on the chart.<\/p>\n

\u201cStranger Things,\u201d which is set in the late ’80s, released the first volume of the new season on May 27 and incorporates the song in multiple episodes. It serves as a focus in the plotline of the character Max Mayfield, played by actress Sadie Sink.<\/p>\n

The entire negotiation came as a surprise for Bush fans as the English singer-songwriter seldom approves of the usage of her songs in other media. In a recent Variety<\/em> article, Wende Crowley, Sony Music Publishing’s senior VP of creative marketing, film and TV, said Bush approved the song’s participation in the series after reviewing script pages and footage outlining how it would be incorporated. Bush also published a rare statement on her website di lei stating she was a fan of the show and shared her gratitude for the resurgence.<\/p>\n

On the US chart, it’s almost unheard of for an older song to jump into the top 10, even after a widely celebrated synch or following a celebrity death. It’s believed a non-Christmas catalog tune has not re-entered this high in its original recorded form since Queen’s \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d went to No. 2 in 1992, after being featured in \u201cWayne’s World.\u201d In 2020, Fleetwood Mac’s \u201cDreams\u201d enjoyed a huge surge in popularity in 2020 due to a TikTok meme, but still made it only as far as No. 12 on the chart.<\/p>\n

The synch additionally put the track at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales and onto the Streaming Songs chart at No. 6. As of June 4, \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d also ranked as high as No. 3 on the weekly song consumption tally , as confirmed by Luminate.<\/p>\n

The singer-songwriter first made an appearance on Billboard’s charts in 1979, but \u201cRunning Up That Hill\u201d is her first Hot 100 top 10. It originally hit the charts in November of 1985 as a part of her fifth studio album, \u201cHounds of Love, \u201dand landed in the No. 30 spot.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Styles’ \u201cLate Night Talking\u201d dips 4-9 in its second week on the Hot 100. Jack Harlow’s \u201cFirst Class\u201d stays at No. 2 on the Hot 100, after three nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1. Future’s \u201cWait for U, \u201dfeaturing Drake and Tems, is equally as steady at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after spending a week at No. 1. Lizzo’s\u201c About Damn Time \u201djumped up one spot to No. 4 on the chart. Glass Animals’ \u201cHeat Waves\u201d also rises 6-5 on the Hot 100, after five weeks at No. 1. Bad Bunny and Chencho Corleone’s \u201cMe Porto Bonito\u201d soars from its previous No. 10 spot to No. 7.<\/p>\n

Numbers detailing equivalent album units earned from the Billboard 200 chart come from Luminate via Billboard.<\/p>\n

Styles’ \u201cHarry’s House\u201d also holds its top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart for a second week, following its debut at No. 1 a week ago. The project earned 160,500 equivalent album units in the US in the week ending June 2; it originally launched with 521,500 units.<\/p>\n

New in the top 10 of the album chart is legendary English rock band Def Leppard, which score its eighth top 10 album on the Billboard 200 with the debut of “Diamond Star Halos.” At No. 10, the album enters with 34,000 equivalent album units earned.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the album chart: Bad Bunny’s \u201cUn Verano Sin Ti\u201d stays put at No. 2 with 141,500 equivalent album units, Kendrick Lamar’s \u201cMr. Morale & the Big Steppers \u201dremains at No. 3 with 89,500 units, Future’s No. 1\u201c I Never Liked You \u201dis still at No. 4 with 68,000 units and Morgan Wallen’s\u201c Dangerous: The Double Album \u201drises 6-5 with 53,500 units.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its release on vinyl, Doja Cat’s \u201cPlanet Her\u201d bounces 12-6 with 41,500 equivalent album units. Zach Bryan’s \u201cAmerican Heartbreak\u201d falls 5-7 in its second week with 40,500 units and Olivia Rodrigo’s former No. 1 \u201cSour\u201d lingers at No. 8 with 39,000 units following the release of a deluxe one-year anniversary edition of the album. Jack Harlow’s \u201cCome Home the Kids Miss You\u201d slips to 7-9 with 34,500 units.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
