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?

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.

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