It’s been 35 years since Kate Bush last put on a proper full concert performance, which explains why all 80,000 tickets for her stand at the Hammersmith in London disappeared in about 14 minutes last week. It also explains the huge increase in sales of Kate’s music.

According to data from Amazon:

Hounds of Love: Up 1,200%
The Whole Story: Up 3,000%
50 Words for Snow: Up 4,000%
