A source said: “Kate is going to pay a seven-figure sum because of his resurgence. “She owns all the publishing and licensing rights and she wrote it herself – so almost all the cash goes to her. “Given the appeal of the song, Kate will easily pull in 250 250,000 a week and, if she continues like this, she will laugh to the bank.” The track only reached No. 3 in 1985, but is now set to be No. 1 for the second week in a row – breaking all records 37 years later. Kate is now the oldest woman to win the No. 1 single in the United Kingdom – surpassing Sir, who reached the top at the age of 53 with Believe in 1998.

It’s also the longest time for a single to reach No. 1, surpassing 36 years for Wham’s Last Christmas. In the hit Netflix of the 1980s, Stranger Things, listening to the track, helped the character Max Mayfield, played by Sadie Sink, escape the evil Vecna. Kate said of her joy that so many young people are “discovering the song for the first time”. He said: “I have never experienced anything like this before. “It’s hard to understand the speed with which this is happening.”
