"The 1980s-set Netflix series Stranger Things, returning this week for Season 5, has always had a real knack for choosing songs of the era and exploding their popularity. The most notable example of this was Season 4's epic use of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," but every season has featured some unexpected yet welcome needle drops, including The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go," The Police's "Every Breath You Take," and Metallica's "Master of Puppets.""
"So, with the premiere of the fifth and final season, let's break down the most significant songs chosen by music supervisor Nora Felder and the production team, episode by episode - all the music you might hear that's not written by composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The mix so far includes a few familiar tracks, as well as some new artists making their Stranger Things debut. Will this season lead to a renaissance for artists like Diana Ross or Tiffany? One can only hope."
Stranger Things Season 5 continues selecting 1980s songs that often explode in popularity after placement. Music supervisor Nora Felder and the production team curate episode-by-episode non-score music, separate from composers Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The first seven episodes feature notable needle drops such as Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go," The Police's "Every Breath You Take," Metallica's "Master of Puppets," and Diana Ross's "Upside Down." Robin serves as Hawkins's local radio DJ in Season 5, and many of her on-air moments include prominent period tracks.
