Wuthering Heights

Bush wrote this debut single in a single evening at age 18, inspired by Emily Brontë's 1847 novel. Released in January 1978 as the lead single from The Kick Inside, it spent 4 weeks at No. 1 in the UK and made Bush the first female artist to achieve a UK number-one with an entirely self-written song. The song reached No. 1 in Australia, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, and Portugal, and is certified platinum in the UK for over 600,000 units.
