Stranger Issues have occurred. However not many. Kate Bush celebrated hitting a serious Spotify milestone on Wednesday (June 21) when her signature tune, “Working Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” hit one billion streams on the service.
“A billion streams!,” the singer wrote on her official website beneath an summary NASA picture from above of a sequence of streams feeding right into a river. “I’ve a picture of a river that all of the sudden floods and turns into many, many tributaries — a billion streams — on their solution to the ocean,” she added.
“Every one among these streams is one among you… Thanks! Thanks a lot for sending this tune on such an impossibly astonishing journey. I’m blow away,” Bush advised her followers. The tune was initially launched in 1985 as the primary single from Bush’s landmark fifth studio album, Hounds of Love, operating as much as No. 3 on the U.Okay. singles chart and No. 30 on the Billboard Sizzling 100.
However when the tune was used as a pivotal dramatic system within the fourth season of the hit monster-chasing Netflix drama Stranger Issues, “Working” grew to become a cultural sensation, hitting No. 1 within the U.Okay. and Australia and on the Billboard World 200 chart for the primary time. And now, with the Spotify billion mark, the monitor grew to become the primary solo recording by a feminine artist from the Nineteen Eighties to go one billion streams on the platform.
Bush is one among only a few artists from that period to hit be a part of Spotify’s “Billions” membership, with different members together with Tears For Fears (“All people Desires to Rule The World”), Toto (“Africa”), A-ha (“Tackle Me”) and The Police (“Each Breath You Take”).
