After ‘Running Up That Hill’ Makes Kate Bush Richer Than Scrooge McDuck, Singer Hits Back at ‘Very Poor Quality’ Stranger Things Merchandise
Ever since the release of Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 in May, there has been one song that has been constantly playing everywhere and that song is Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God) by Kate Bush. The 1985 song’s popularity as well as streams have escalated since it saved Max Mayfield from the clutches of the wicked villain Vecna.

Kate Bush warns fans of fake merchandise
In her post, the singer also warned fans about the fake merchandise and asked them to be wary of it.
“I want to let you know about the amount of unofficial merchandise that’s out there. I haven’t seen it myself but I keep getting reports that there’s a huge amount: T-shirts, etc – some of which is very poor quality, some of which is pretty good and could be mistaken for being official. The only official merchandise is the already existing material that’s available through the official websites,” Kate Bush said.
Stranger Things Volume 2 is streaming now on Netflix.
