Cher is a good loser!
While her colleague Kate Bush broke her record for the oldest artist to win at the top of the British charts, the interpreter of
Believe
, far from lamenting having lost her rank in the history books , congratulated the interpreter of
Running Up That Hill
.
This song went to number 1 almost 40 years after its release.
“Well done Kate.
Records are made to be broken.
Think back to when women had very short expiration dates.
We had to push our way through the testosterone curtain, and we did it so that the girls who came after us could sing as long as they wanted.
Mega respect,” the pop superstar wrote on Twitter.
Surprise
If
Running Up That Hill
has become so popular again, it's obviously thanks to
Stranger Things
.
Netflix's nostalgic sci-fi series uses Kate Bush's hit in a very interesting way in its new and final season.
A scenario that had arisen in the previous season with
Never Ending Story
, the title taken from the film
The Endless Story
and interpreted by Limahl.
His presence in the series had allowed the singer of Kajagoogoo to return to the front of the stage.
A situation nevertheless unexpected for the British star, who has been discreet for years.
And his reaction was like his surprise: moved.
“I'm overwhelmed with the amount of love and support the song is getting and it all happens very quickly, like it's being pushed by some kind of elemental force.
I have to admit that I feel really moved by it all.
Thank you so much for making this song a number 1 in such an unexpected way,” Kate Bush wrote.
