Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill’ looks like it will finally hit number one in the UK singles chart this weekend after the Official Charts Company changed the rules about how streams of the song are counted. Which might make the whole thing seem like a bit of a farce, but whatever.
There is some justification.‘Running Up That Hill’ has, of course, been rising up the charts in recent weeks thanks to being featured prominently in the latest series of ‘Stranger Things’ on Netflix. It’s not just in the UK, the 1985 track has been hitting top tens around the world.
But it’s here in the UK where we’ve been expecting the track to reach the top spot on the back of all the ‘Stranger Things’ hype.However, so far it has been unable to knock ‘As It Was’ by Harry Styles off its perch atop the main UK singles chart, despite it being streamed far more than Styles’s song. Given the Bush track has been getting so many more streams – and is also ahead of ‘As It Was’ in the OCC’s Sales Chart, which aggregates all the non-streaming consumption that is also counted in the main chart – clearly ‘Running Up That Hill’ should be the overall number one.
So why isn’t it?Well, it’s all down to how the OCC treats older songs. For a new song, it takes 100 premium streams or 600 ad-funded streams to have one sale counted in the main singles chart, which aggregates data from streaming services, download stores, and the sale of physical products.However, if those rules were applied to all songs being streamed in any one week, then a handful of perennially popular tracks would be forever clogging up the chart.
