Prince had a very strict rule for forty years. He almost never let his music play on television shows. He wanted to keep his songs special and private. Everything changed when the people who make the show Stranger Things asked to use his music. They waited months for a yes from his family.
The leaders of the Prince estate saw how another singer became famous again. Kate Bush had a huge hit because of the show. They realized that the show creators really loved the 1980s. They finally trusted the show to treat the music with respect. This choice allowed the world to hear Purple Rain in a whole new way.
