charts discussion Running Up that Hill finally #1 on Spotify WW with 8,4m streams

[lex]

Her spotify trajectory over the last four days is actually insane: 

 

#118 — 290,635 

#18 (+100) — 721,939 (+431,304)

#2 (+16) — 1,310,081 (+588,142)

#1 (+1) — 2,112,761 (+802,680)

 

And #4 AM, #1 iTunes, #4 Amazon, #4 YT if I’m reading kworb right 

Song of the summer is here 

[ontherocks]

I don't think that many of you understand how hard the market in Germany is. For her, to be #5 on Spotify there is pure insanity

[ontherocks]

The fact that she has round about 250,000 more streams on UK Spotify than Harry Styles  

 

Wonder if she'll make a TikTok video soon

[1989]

This is incredible 

[PoisonPill]

I've stanned Queen Kate since I was 8 and my dad would play Hounds of Love in the car... One thing I love about the TikTok era is seeing forgotten/overlooked works be resurrected into modern hits.

Kate hasn't been seen in public since 2014. All us Bushies get is her annual Christmas message on her website. 

We are not getting anything from her.

[Thinking Of You]

I always thought Hounds of Love was an album that came out in the 2010s that the gays and ATRL overhyped because the album cover is still modern. I listened to the album one day and the way my jaw dropped when I saw “1985” under the title 

 

This was after I had heard Wuthering Heights too

There is a rumour going round she'll attract the young ppl with a TikTok ASMR insta live eating alive Baby octopus challenge v soon, but you haven't heard it from me 

[BlackoutZone]

Btw Hounds of Love did ~8.2M yesterday so some people are checking other songs too  Hope this paves the way for her music to be more used in the media, Cloudbusting really deserves the same justice. Let me not even start on The Sensual World tracks

[kandicha]

These numbers, oh my god! Absolutely unbelievable and for such a deserving song  

 

loving this Gen Z fueled Kate Bush renaissance, as they should.

When the girls visit the institution they used fake names. Ruth and Rose. Is this easter egg for the next Kate Bush song?

Thought about the same when she said she was named Ruth lol

 

I saw what the writers did there ?

Her songs have been used a lot lately. Cloudbusting and A Woman’s Work both were in Handmaids. 
 

She will continue to have good streams now. It’s going to be in the finale so another boost around July.

You should listen to The Dreaming to have your brain explode from talentry.

I am here for it.

And no TTH yet

It would easily get 10mln on Friday.

Talent always wins

I am sure this is not going to get added to TTH unless Spotify are feeling generous. 

[Shelter]

Do you think it can get bigger or if 7 million is its peak?

I don't think it has peaked. It's also going to have a prominent feature in the finale of the season in July so it's definitely getting another moment.

[Ger]

I think perhaps we'll see the biggest update tomorrow.

[Monster Megamind]

She singlehandedly wrote and produced this song!

Harry Styles is #1 WW but I think she is snatching the spot tomorrow.

She solo wrote and solo produced her Fourth album (The Dreaming) and all the subsequent ones (Hounds, Sensual World...)

The second and the third she co-produced with Jon Kelly or Andrew Powell 

 

The Talent 

[Monster Megamind]

I've never seen a famous female singer solo produce her own albums before.
