It's common knowledge that a new season of Stranger Things dropping immediately makes the world a better place, but did you know the show's power extends to the charts, too?

That's right: After featuring prominently in Season 4 as the new favourite artist of Max (Sadie Sink), English singer-songwriter Kate Bush has been powering back up the iTunes and Spotify charts.

In particular her 1985 track "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)", which features prominently in episode 4, has topped the iTunes chart per the LA Times, and is sitting at 106 on Spotify's Daily Top 200 at the time of writing.

Here's the music video for the classic track, in all its glory:

Clearly, the song's placement — which we won't go into in detail to avoid spoiler territory — has struck a chord with people.

The full soundtrack for Season 4, Volume 1 is available to stream now. The full track list can be found below:

1. "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (Bryce Miller/Alloy Tracks Remix)" — Journey

2. "California Dreamin'" — The Beach Boys
