Semi manufactured stat but (from Kate's fan page):

Today Kate Bush has entered the Official UK Charts at NUMBER 8, announced just now on BBC Radio 1! This means (as far as we can gather!) that Kate is the first female artist to have had Top 12 UK hit singles in 6 consecutive decades; the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s! (And for those that might ask “hey, okay we know about King of the Mountain hitting number 4 in 2005 but what hit single did she have in the 2010s? The answer is her 2012 remix / new vocal of Running Up That Hill from the closing ceremony of the London Olympics which reached number 6. We say “top 12” and not top 10 for this record, because in the 1990s her highest UK singles chart position was 12, with Rubberband Girl in 1993). This is Kate’s 7th Top Ten single overall in the UK, or 8th if you also count her duet with Peter Gabriel, Don’t Give Up in 1986. Amazing!!
