Netflix: British singer makes a fortune with a song from Stranger Things
Netflix, the most popular streaming video platform in recent years, continues to break records with its productions and, after the recent release of the new season of Stranger Things, has made it possible for a British singer to amass a fortune thanks to one of her songs.
Spoiler Alert!
If you haven't seen the first part of the new season of Stranger Things, you should know that this note contains spoilers. In the new set of episodes, we meet Vecna, a vile being from the 'Upside Down' who feeds on young people who suffer from family problems or deep hidden pain.
Max, one of the protagonists of the Netflix series, was almost killed by this beast. However, she managed to save herself thanks to her favorite song, called 'Running Up That Hill'.
It turns out that the singer of this song is named Kate Bush and she is of British origin. Although this song was released in 1985, after the premiere of the Netflix series, it has gained international fame and has reached number one on the charts in England, Norway, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Australia.
Kate Bush's success has been so great that in just one week she has earned over $400,000 in royalties. As the songwriter and holder of all publishing and licensing rights, she will continue to directly receive all proceeds from her song.
It is worth mentioning that on July 1, 2022, the second part of Stranger Things will be released, and in this new installment, we will also be able to hear the famous song 'Running Up That Hill'. Have you listened to it yet?
