With Stranger Things Season 4 officially over, Upside Down fans aren’t quite ready to move on. With questions in their heads, they dive back into the best moments of the series thanks to the songs that are now associated with them, which is not to displease their interpreters!
After making Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill a hit on every music streaming service, Season 4 of Stranger Things brought back another 80s hit, Metallica’s Master of Puppets.
It must be said that in addition to wanting to soak up the cult moments of season 4, many fans wanted to know what song could save them from Vecna if by chance fiction caught up with reality.

So much so that in a few days these songs invaded Spotify’s Top 50 US, with more than 1.6 million readings for the title of Kate Bush and more than 824,000 plays for that of Metallica.
The performers react to the success of their titles thanks to Stranger Things
“You surely know that the first part of the fantastic and captivating new season of Stranger Things has recently been released on Netflix. It features the song “Running Up That Hill” which has been given a boost by the young fans who love the show – I love it too! Thanks to this, Running Up That Hill is a hit all over the world and has reached number 8 in the United Kingdom. It’s really exciting! Thank you to everyone who supported this song”Kate Bush said on her website.
If this reaction was greeted, it is by far that of Metallica which made the most react the fans. It must be said that the episode concerned is more recent, and above all that the group has been a fan of the series since the beginning.
Enthused by this now cult scene, brilliantly performed by Joseph Quinn who did not skimp on the hours of training to learn the guitar riff of this piece, Metallica shared it on his Instagram account. They were full of praise for Joseph Quinn’s performance and the work of the Duffer brothers.
“The way the Duffer Brothers have incorporated music into Stranger Things has always been amazing, we’re not only thrilled to see Master of Puppets incorporated into the series, but also absolutely blown away by the scene they’ve built around it. We couldn’t wait to see the result and we were completely blown away. It’s so well done that some fans guessed the song just by watching Joseph Quinn perform it for a few seconds in the trailer! Is not it great ?”the band members said on Instagram.
Failing to be able to fight Vecna with it, the show’s playlist will help combat the long months separating fans of the show from Stranger Things season 5.
