Stranger Things Season 4 Complete Soundtrack Playlist

Stranger Things returns to Netflix for 2022 with its fourth season, but split in to two volumes. The first seven episodes dropped at the end of May, with a further two episodes including the season finale dropping in July.

Across the nine new adventures of the gang, including Elven, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Will Byers, Max Mayfield, Steve Harrington, continues as they battle a new threat from the Upside Down, a murderous dark entity.

As well as its loveable cast, supernatural plot, and its great mix of adventure, comedy and horror, one thing we all love about the hit series is the selection of music used. The show's soundtrack includes some of the most memorable hits from the 70s and 80s, as well as some slightly more obscure tracks. The music from pervious season can be found below:

The new season treats us to 80s favourites from Dead Or Alive, Falco and The Surfaris, which play during the gangs time at Rink-O-Mania in Lerona. Plus other 80s classics, such as Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)' and The Beach Boys' 'California Dreamin'.

As we are reacquainted with Eleven and Will and his family in their new human of Lerona, California, this Beach Boys classic from 1986 plays, released in the year the season is set.

Steve and Robin have a new job in season four, they now work together at the Hawkins' home video rental store, Family Videos. This song from the Maryland-based funk band, Starpoint, played in the car during their drive to work.

As Joyce Byers unwraps the mysterious package she received from Russia, this haunting song plays, which also featured in season three.

After Eleven's humiliating diorama presentation, she flees the school to the sound of this 80s classic from Kate Bush.

The Hawkins basketball team read a News Week article about the 'the Devil' coming to America, while this appropriate song by The Champs plays.

This emotive song plays as Eddie talks about passing his finals and handing the reigns of the Hellfire Club to Mike and Dustin in the school canteen.

A montage of Mike and Dustin trying to recruit new members to the Hellfire Club is soundtracked by this 1989 song from Extreme.

Tammy sings the national anthem ahead of the Hawkins basketball game, her awful rendition blends into a rocky version composed by X-Ray Dog.

This fiery song plays as the Hellfire Club battle Vecna to the death in their D&D game, while the Hawkins Tigers battle it out on the basketball court.

This fitting Californian-theme track plays as Eleven, Mike and the gang leave the airport in Lenora.

The first of many 80s tracks that play during the kids' time at the Rink-O-Mania. This song is playing as they arrive.

This romantic classic piece can be heard as Mike and Eleven take to the rink for the first time for a skate session at Rink-O-Mania.

As Angela and her gang of bullies arrive at Rink-O-Mania, this cheesy rock anthem is heard.

Later at Rink-O-Mania while Mike, Eleven and Will are drinking milkshake, this of-its-time 80s track plays as Angela approaches them.

The song that soundtracks Eleven's humiliation, when Angela places her in the middle of the Rink-O-Mania rink.

When the Russians feel Hopper can take no more and decide to send him to Kamchatka, this harsh Russian piece of classical music plays.

This aptly titled song by the Talking Heads plays when the basketball team get riled up to avenge Chrissy's death and track down Eddie.

Episode three is a little lacking in music, other than Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's original score and a song being performed during the interrupted rehearsal by Eddie Munson's band, there's only one other piece of music.

This piece of classical music is heard when Will and Jonathan get home with Eleven, Mike and Argyle to find Murray Bauman is there with Joyce, and he's cooked dinner.

Rick Nelson - 'Travelin' Man'
"Hold tight," Yuri says as he takes off in his dodgy plane to the sounds to Rick Nelson's 'Travelin' Man', with its fitting lyric about Alaska.

When Eleven finds herself trapped in a vision of Hawkins Lab in 1979, this operatic song plays as Dr. Brenner speaks to Eleven and mentioned the opera it came from, Nina.

This Russian opera song plays when Hopper and his fellow prisoners are lead into a room in the prison where an unexpected feast is laid out for them.

Other than another quick burst of Kate Bush's 'Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)'on Max's walkman and a reprise of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong's 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me', there's not much time for retro chart hits. As the drama increases and the mood shifts in the final episode of volume one of the season, the soundtrack consists mostly of music from Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's original score.

We get another blast of Kate Bush as Max walks through the Creel House.

These three songs, which have featured in earlier episodes of 'Stranger Things' re-emerge in Max's memory sequence that Eleven is remote viewing.
