- From the vault of Entertainment Tonight a fabulous interview from 1985.
On 17 November 1985 Kate went in New York to promote the masterpiece “Hounds Of Love”.
“For the first time, she agreed to undertake serious promotion in North America, following up a handful of preliminary phone interviews with a visit (Concorde, naturally) to New York in November, where she taped several TV and press interviews and visited the MTV studios. She also hit the streets, signing copies of Hounds Of Love at Tower Records in Greenwich Village, where the queue snaked hundreds of metres around the block, and she stayed - happily, amazed by her popularity - many hours longer than arranged. There is no question that her promotional input made a palpable difference. 'Running Up That Hill', supported in the US by the film clip of her performance on the Wogan show (the video she made with David Garfath, with its ballet moves, low-key colouring and lack of lip-synching, was deemed by MTV to be too esoteric for US audiences; surely a backhanded compliment), climbed to number 30 on the Billboard chart in late November.”
(from the must-have biography “Under The Ivy: The Life & Music of Kate Bush” by Graeme Thomson)
On 30 November “Running Up That Hill” peaked at No. 30 in the US Billboard single chart and on 14 December the album “Hounds Of Love” reached number 30 in the US Billboard album chart.
As we know, yesterday 6 June, 'Hounds of Love' has re-entered this week's Billboard 200 at a new peak of #28!
Finger crossed for a higher position👊🏻
