British singer Kate Bush is reportedly nearly R38 million rand richer after her 1985 track, 'Running up that Hill' soared to the top of the UK charts after featuring in the fourth season of the hit Netflix series 'Stranger Things'.

According to the  BBC,Bush told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour “It’s just extraordinary. It's such a great series. I thought that the track would get some attention. But I just never imagined that it would be anything like this. It's so exciting. But it's quite shocking really, isn't it? I mean, the whole world's gone mad."

Watch the footage that's been responsible for earning the 63-year-old singer/songwriter a small fortune!

Bush topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks in 1978 at the age of 19  with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song.
