Welcome to the Bushaissance—how far up the hill can we go?
, Bush’s 1985 single “Running Up That Hill” has taken off unexpectedly, beyond what anyone could have predicted. Not even TikTok, the standard in the viral-song-to-bonafide-hit pipeline, has spawned a situation quite like this. “Hill” previously peaked at No. 30 on theHot 100 around the time of its release—now some 37 years later, it’s launched Bush into the U.S. Top 10 for the first time. The song reenters the latest chart at No. 8., the song debuted at No. 6 on the streaming chart, at No.
Aside from “Hill,” which had some mainstream penetration, Bush was largely deemed an alternative artist in the U.S. during her active years that spanned the late ‘70s to the early ‘90s. In her homeland of the U.K., the singer-songwriter-producer’s profile was decidedly higher . Like her friend Prince and heir apparent Björk, Bush’s gift didn’t lie merely in making pop weird, but making weird pop extremely popular.
