‘Stranger Things’ & ‘Heated Rivalry’ Lead Latest Top TV Songs Chart

For the second month in a row, Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” reigns on Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), topping the December 2025-dated survey after another synch in Netflix’s Stranger Things.

Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of December 2025.

“Running Up That Hill” has had a long history with Stranger Things. The ‘80s track was first featured in the series’ fourth season, a synch that brought it onto the Top TV Songs chart and returned it to the Billboard Hot 100, on which it peaked at No. 3 in July 2022, 37 years after its initial release.

The song continued to be a motif in the series’ fifth and final season, appearing in its first half that premiered on Nov. 26 as well as those that aired between Dec. 25 and 31.

In December 2025, “Running Up That Hill” earned 21.3 million official U.S. streams and sold 5,000 downloads, according to Luminate. Those counts also drove the song back onto the Hot 100 yet again, appearing at No. 46 on the Jan. 17-dated tally.

It’s not all Stranger Things on the December 2025 Top TV Songs chart, but the series does still occupy four of the 10 positions. Unlike “Running Up That Hill,” they’re newcomers to the franchise. Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” follows at No. 2 (24.4 million streams, 4,000 downloads), while Prince nabs two spots via “Purple Rain” (No. 5; 6.4 million streams, 1,000 downloads) and “When Doves Cry” (No. 10; 5.1 million streams, 1,000 downloads).

Of that group, “Purple Rain” and “Landslide” also appeared on the Jan. 17 Hot 100 at Nos. 26 and 41, respectively, the latter doing so for the first time, over 50 years after its initial release.

Heated Rivalry also makes a splash on the latest Top TV Songs list, bowing with three tunes in the top six. The buzzy Crave series ranks at Nos. 3 and 4 with two versions of the same song; t.A.T.u.’s “All the Things She Said” leads (9.2 million streams, 3,000 downloads), while Harrison’s rendition follows (3.9 million streams, 4,000 downloads). Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything” rounds out the group at No. 6 (2.4 million streams, 2,000 downloads).
