The Mystical Lioness

Kate Bush became the first woman to reach UK number one with a self-written song — at 19. Her debut Wuthering Heights was rejected by EMI multiple times before becoming an unavoidable classic. Forty years later, Running Up That Hill hit number one again after Stranger Things, proving that Leo creativity is genuinely timeless.

Leo Legacy

  • Wuthering Heights: First self-written UK number one by a woman — age 19
  • The Hounds of Love: Widely considered the greatest British album of the 1980s
  • Running Up That Hill: Became a global phenomenon again in 2022 via Stranger Things
  • Reclusive genius: Didn’t tour for 35 years — returned in 2014 to 22 sold-out London shows

Bush’s Leo originality was so far ahead of its time that the world needed decades to catch up.

“The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.”
