Donna Summer was 40 when This Time I Know It's for Real reached the top 10 on the Hot 100, but maybe it wasn't a radio hit? @Green

Quote

Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” rises to a new No. 3 Hot 100 high, from No. 4. Again helped by its sync in the fourth season of Netflix’s Stranger Things, the song, originally released in 1985 (when it reached No. 30), bounds 15-10 on Radio Songs (39.8 million, up 26%, good for the Hot 100’s top Airplay Gainer trophy), becoming Bush’s first top 10 on the tally. It fell by 10% to 19.3 million streams and 23% to 10,000 sold in the tracking week.

She made it to the list.  

 

Beyoncé should join as well.
