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

[Letemtalk]

Isn't that the Halsey stan that claimed that labels are "forcing" artists to do viral TikToks if they want their songs to chart?

I'm not sure if Kate has a TikTok or knows what it is.

 

OT - Perhaps Kate can chart more songs.

Go listen to the even better 10 MINUTES version and educate yourself on actual music geniuses like Kate Bush.

Not a Camila stan coming for one of the most acclaimed pop songs of all-time 

 

Go stream that children's rhyme Bam Bam

People have been talking about this song and the Hounds of Love album for years.

 

Lorde has included two Kate Bush songs, "Running Up That Hill" and "This Woman's Work" on her Sonos radio channel over the past month and during the Melodrama era, she used the song on her pre-performance playlist, as her walk on music - the last song played as she steps onto the stage.

 

In this thread there are numerous example of artists such as Big Boi talking about Kate Bush.

Perhaps you're the last to hear about her?

Girl, it was already one of the most acclaimed songs of all time before the show sparked some public interest. Your distaste for it is fine and valid and all, but positive reception for this song and its parent album, even on ATRL, is definitely not new.

Are you mad a fourty year old song is outstreaming your fave Camila? Go give Bomb Bomb an extra stream 

The lashings  Poor miss Villanelle, making an embarrassment of their fave and themselves once again

 

 

OT: the biggest female song of the year did THAT  Cloudbusting will be next I fear

 

[UnusualBoy]

This still has room to grow, I mean in Mexico is at #31 with a lot of trash from Bad Bunny above it so I assume it's pretty similar in some other countries in LATAM.

"Running Up That Hill" pulled 17.1M U.S. streams from On-Demand services only (not counting YT). It's definetely coming for Top 5 on Hot 100.

Suddenly it's ATRL's favs song of all time just because it's doing Spotify numbers  You'll forget about it in a week when the hype fizzles out. It sounds like any 80's song, but it's boring, it's not catchy,  the beat is uninteresting. And it's too long. Like 5 minutes wtf.

5 minutes being too long? And how much 80s music have you listened to?

 

Abysmal attention span AND taste? Pick a struggle.

 

OT: Glad to see the GP stanning Kate, as they should

The injustice of ACR

 

 

Maybe all the radio play and attention it gets for being top 10 will push it higher up for next week

ACR rule is awful in this case.

Glad to see so much good taste on ATRL today I agree, Ghosts deserves its viral moment. I'm mad that the U.K. GP didn't appreciate it enough back in 2007.

 

You can hear the Kate Bush influence all over the album.

Omg Siobhan  This should get the RUTH treatment in another 20 years

[period sis]

#that user always has to be a contrarian for attention. The avi and who they REALLY stan doesn't help

[Electrasour]

It's always the Camila stans I swear 

 

OT: omg I'm so glad to see RUTH getting the attention it deserves truly one of the most iconic songs ever

No, it's an amazing song, it stood out to me the moment I heard it during Glow, and that series is full of great 80s jam. If anything it was really underrated until this recent deserved resurgence. I don't think it's the best song ever as some pointed out, but it's amazing and deserves it's flowers

Probably #2

[Shelter]

Her other streams yesterday. She is getting a good boost all round 

 

Wuthering Heights - 266k 

Babooshka - 278k

Cloudbusting - 169k 

 

I doubt any of these were even close to 100k a day streams before . I remember Cloudbusting getting less than 40k.

Spotify not adding it to TTH
