‘Stranger Things’ premiered the second part of its fourth season on Netflix and helped break several records for streaming the series, as well as the music that accompanies it.
Stranger Things exceeded all forecasts with the launch of the second part of its season 4, because a few days after its premiere it already broke several records .
Episodes that just arrived on Netflix on July 1 broke the US streaming record for minutes watched in a single week, according to consultancy Nielsen .
The Hollywood Reporter noted that the production racked up 7.2 billion minutes of viewing time for the week of May 30 to June 5. It also had the highest two-week tally for any show, clocking in at 5.14 billion minutes of viewing by the time the first part was released.
With these values it was that Stranger Things 4 managed to exceed the figures recorded by Tiger King and Ozark in 2020. Proof of the success it had was that Netflix had a fall on its platform when the new chapters were released.
But these were not the only records that the Duffer brothers’ production broke, as it also gave new impetus to the singer Kate Bush with her song Running up that hill , which with the premiere of the first part of the fourth season took over streaming music platforms .

The theme released 37 years ago, and which featured a version made by Placebo, entered the Guinness Book of Records by winning in three categories.
Stranger Things 4 propelled the singer to position herself as the singer with the longest time for a track to reach No. 1 on the official singles chart, as well as the oldest female artist to reach No. 1.
It also broke the Guinness World Record in the category for the longest gap between No. 1 spots on the official UK singles chart, beating Cher, who held those titles. Bush hit the Top 1 with Wuthering Heights in 1978, 44 years ago.
