At least in America, it feels like Running Up That Hill is more popular now than in the 80s. In the 80s, I never heard it on the radio and I had no friends who even knew of Kate Bush.
- tptacek 4y agoIt was a staple of late-80s early-90s alt-rock radio, and appeared in a couple soundtracks.

But she still had a cult of devoted fans in the US. Also, you have to remember that in the late 1970s the record companies were casting around for anything new that didn't sound like disco. That's how she got her first contract, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sort of discovered her and helped her make her first demo, then presented it to his record company contacts. She's a genius artist and she deserves all the new attention she's getting.
