The song has enjoyed a renaissance globally after featuring in the hit sci-fi horror series.
The hit has seen Bush, 63, set a slew of records in her home country, according to the Official Charts Company.
The 1985 song now holds the record for longest time taken for a single to reach number one, while its ethereal singer boasts the longest-ever gap between chart-toppers, 44 years after Wuthering Heights first revealed her talents to the world.
Bush has also become the oldest female artist ever to score a number one hit in the UK.
She thanked the Netflix show’s creators the Duffer Brothers for her new-found success.
“I’m overwhelmed by the scale of affection and support the song is receiving and it’s all happening really fast, as if it’s being driven along by a kind of elemental force,” she wrote on her official website.
