Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)

[Diddy]

Did that include the 2012 remix (and this doesn’t?)?

 

[Mike(y) W]

I'm just going to wait until there's an official announcement from the UK Charts Company or the great lady herself re hitting the million selling mark. They're both being very quick to ride the current wave of love.

 

[lolly]

Did the 2012 remix sell that much, given its chart run?

I'm wondering if it's anything to do with the confusion (well, I'd be confused) of streaming sales counting differently to weekly sales and total sales that @ManicKangaroo referred to a couple of weeks ago.

 

[ButterTart]

You think that's bad? I can hear my mother saying "every old sock meets an old shoe."

No idea what she's on about.

Ain’t that a great saying though?

 

[Iguana]

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh this is quite something

 

[ButterTart]

I love that they’re milking this for all it’s worth. Kate was considering knocking out an album to keep Bertie in growth suppressants but she can put her feet up again thanks to all these lovely royalties.

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Yesterday my mother said to me "I'm getting a little bit sick of Running Up That Hill to be honest"

It's going to be difficult to never speak to her again but she left me with no other choice

My mum has always hated Kate Bush because she says she's got a "horrible shrieky voice".

'December Will Be Magic Again' is the only track she used to skip on the Christmas CD I made her years ago.

I'll be sure to pop this on next time I'm

I have only just got RUTH means. I thought it was some Sasha Fierce alter ego

Kate Bush likes to dress up as a Yellow Coat at the weekend and cosplay as Ruth Madoc.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Sometimes midweek too if she's feeling frivolous.

She signed the letter
ALL YOURS
RUTH

 

[Cerro de Casa]

RUTH2ThaTop! Campaign 2022 worked

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Down to 4 in the first look chart

 

[Soldi]

Well that’s seems quick

 

[Cerro de Casa]

At least it's in the top 5 and really crashing out of the shart like Bionic or MDNA did (yes I know those were ALBAMS and not SINGALS but you know what I mean)

 

[lolly]

#7 and #10 are the only two positions it hasn't had in the Top Ten, so I'd quite like her to hit those on the way down. Just not for a month or two, please.

Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely royalties.

Down to 4 in the first look chart

This is at least partly due to the ACR rule applying to RUTH again, so her streams are halved. She's still number 1 on UK Spotify

 

[Iguana]

And she's back at number 1 on the global Spotify chart again! She's been number 1 on Spotify in the US for the past couple of days, too.

 

[GNL]

Can she make a deal with God, or the official charts company, and make ACR fuck off once more?

 

[lolly]

This is at least partly due to the ACR rule applying to RUTH again, so her streams are halved. She's still number 1 on UK Spotify

And actually went back up to #1 last week in the UK cities she had fallen to #2 in the week before.

 

[Peekaboo]

AGOG at this still being so high on the charts, what gives?!

Running Up that Hill is the NOVELTY SUMMER HIT of 2022 the new MACARENA!

 

[Soldi]

I wonder how high she’ll finish in the END OF YEAR CHART

 

[Madíson]

I wonder how high she’ll finish in the END OF YEAR CHART

The OCC are just putting the songs in a hat these days and drawing the year end chart at the Christmas party.

 

[Soldi]

The OCC are just putting the songs in a hat these days and drawing the year end chart at the Christmas party.

I mean if RUTH is drawn as #1 (or Space Man ) I wouldn’t mind!

 

[Mike(y) W]

Down to 4 in the first look chart

That's not too shabby. I mean at the end of the day I'm still pinching myself that it debuted back in the top ten and then climbed to number one.

 

[Soldi]

So nice for it to be her best song

 

[ManicKangaroo]

She may be able to get back up to 3

1 LF SYSTEM - Afraid to Feel (17,801)
2 Harry Styles - As It Was (14,755)
3 Beyoncé - BREAK MY SOUL (11,453)
4 Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (11,400)

Any clue if the new episodes bumped up the streams this week?

 

[Iguana]

I don't have figures but it's still number 1 on Spotify in the UK and indeed globally. Unbelievable!

 

[lolly]

When did the new episodes drop? I'll do some digging...

I do hope she's treating herself to a new conservatory. Or perhaps a loft conversion.
