Look
Well, fear not, dear reader, for we have come bearing gifts concerning the musical number used in the latest preview of stranger things season 5. So, read on to find out who it is, the song title, and where you can listen to it on repeat.
What song plays in the latest Stranger Things 5 trailer? And who sings it?
It will be ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’, which was written and performed by legendary British rock group Queen.
The sixth song from Queen’s 1986 number one album, ‘It’s a Kind of Magic’, the power ballad was also released that year (September 15, 1986, to be exact) and peaked at number 24 on the official UK music charts upon the single’s release.
In the years since, ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ has appeared on numerous Queen ‘best of’ lists, with Rolling Stone readers ranking it the fifth-best Queen song of all time in 2014, and Smooth Radio listeners voting it the 15th-best Queen song in 2018.
Where can I listen to ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ by Queen?
On all the best music streaming services, of course. That includes Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and YouTube.
It is unclear whether the song’s use in stranger things 5The latest trailer will increase its popularity among fans of the immensely popular Netflix TV Original. Even if music services see an increase in the number of people listening to ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’, I imagine it won’t be as successful as the song used in the various teasers for its predecessor.
In fact, when the trailers for the fourth season of one of Netflix’s best shows in 2022 were released, they were set to Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God).’ In the period prior to stranger things 4Since release, that song slowly gained momentum on various music platforms as fans of the supernatural sci-fi horror show streamed it over and over again. Once the final season made its debut in mid-2022, its popularity skyrocketed and led to ‘Running Up That Hill’ becoming one of the most streamed songs of the year.
If it wants to eclipse the success of that musical number, ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ will have to be streamed more than a billion times, a number that ‘Running Up That Hill’ reached just a few weeks later. stranger things Season 4 has premiered, running from now until December 31, 2025. It’s a tall order, but if anyone can do it, Queen, aka one of the most beloved British acts of all time, can do it.
