When 'Running Up That Hill' was first released, it reached No 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"It's very touching that the song has been so warmly received, especially because it's being driven by young fans who love the shows," Bush said earlier this month in a statement, as reported by Page Six.

It's not the first time a classic hit has been re-released as a result of renewed interest from a recent pop culture moment.
