LeAnn Rimes' Can't Fight The Moonlight instantly came to my mind Yes, I remember that impacting US pop radio (and doing really well) long after it was released. I’m not sure what the story was behind it either. I think it was a big hit in Europe? Maybe? I think I remember hearing it on the radio in Canada upon its initial release but then the next year it entered AT40 (who played this weird cheap-sounding remix of it - was that the version US radio played?) and it made it all the way I think to #2.

Plus she’s Madonna’s age, lol. Makes it even more crazy.

I also love “Placebo’s” version of this, I think that cover is what exposed me to the original. :) for fun I’ll post it here.

At some point during this episode, we need to talk in depth about “Don’t Give Up” too. 🤩

#1 Canadian iTunes, I wonder if they plan on releasing it to radio in other countries as well?

#8 on the Hot 100 this week. Her first ever top 10!
Edit: #3 on Billboard's Global 200 Chart. Insane.

There is no adds date, so i don´t think they are spending money and pushing it on radio, especially they don´t need radio as it is already her first top 10 in US. So as much as I would like to see this samshing on radio as well, I doubt it will be the case.

So great to see it reaching new peaks in a number of countries and charting for the first time in some too.

It's still holding great on streaming, it's back to its peak on AM and it's still #1 on Spotify with a soft drop (everyone dropped on Spotify today). It's also still #1 on iTunes.
It's holding incredibly good, especially compared to other old songs that resurge like Dreams or Something In The Way. It's all over social media (Halsey just used it in an Instagram post) and the Duffer Brothers stated they plan on using the song again in July for the Strangers Thing finale. I feel like this is gonna hang around all summer.

I’m SO ECSTATIC that this has become an unexpected hit. It’s my favorite Kate Bush song. Kate has several gems in her discography, but this one is just timeless. Perfect melody, with a production that sounds as or even more current today than in the 80s. Her voice is also haunting, captivating here. It had an unfairly but understandably low peak in the Hot 100, which even more unfairly was Kate’s highest peaking song. Of course she didn’t need this success as she was legendary already, but it’s always great to see this type of newfound success for a classic, and have younger generations discover classics. The best story of the chart year thus far for me.

Oh wow. I'm surprised they didn't release and push a cover by some more currently popular star, but I like that they're pushing the original instead. Gives me hope for all the other great songs out there that never got the attention they deserved in their day

I love this one so much! I would love to see this one be a hit. I know there were a couple of covers that had varying degrees of success in the last few years. I never ever could have anticipated or expected that of all the classic songs they had featured on Stranger Things that this is the one that would take off like this.
I had to admit that I was largely unfamiliar with Kate Bush's work until I heard that new version she did of this for the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony which was sonically similar to the extended mix of the original but was in a lower key. I checked out Kate's original and then the album it came from. I checked some of her other music and I enjoyed it too.
The additional exposure that her music hopefully gets from this song's resurgence will definitely be a great thing too.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a song get this many green updates in a row on iTunes. Like over a week now of almost all greens. It’s crazy!

I originally thought that Adele's Easy On Me was a shoe in for Grammy nominations and wins for both Song of the year and Record of the year for 2021 but Kate Bush could be in the running for both of those awards.

This song won't be eligible for the Grammys. It's not like Truth Hurts where the original release didn't do anything. This was still a hit in its initial run ~40 years ago. In order to be eligible for the Grammys, it would need a brand new recording to be sent instead, like a 2022 live version or something.

It's so crazy because songs go viral nowadays all the time from TikTok/social videos, but when was the last time a song did this from a *TV Show*?
