Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill could win a prestigious songwriting award, 38 years after it was released. It’s now been shortlisted in the “most performed song” category at the Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate outstanding writing and composition.
The track is up against several contemporary hits including As It Was by Harry Styles, Heat Waves by Glass Animals and two tracks by Ed Sheeran – Bad Habits and Shivers.
The award recognises the song that was played most often on TV and radio, and at concerts and DJ sets, over the last year. The awards, which are named after Welsh entertainer Ivor Novello, will be handed out at a ceremony in London on 18 May
