Every Song In Stranger Things Season 4

Warning: SPOILERS for Stranger Things season 4.

There are a lot of songs in Stranger Things season 4's soundtrack, and this time the songs play a role in the story as well. Stranger Things seems to get bigger and bigger every season, with new monsters, characters, and storylines being introduced and intermixing. Given the show takes place in the 1980s and is partly an ode to that time period, it makes sense to have an '80s-filled soundtrack.

And as the show grew, more songs were used in each season. Stranger Things season 2 notably obtained access to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" for its main trailer and season 3's trailer used The Who's "Baba O'Reilly". Both songs represented the themes of each season, and now, Stranger Things season 4 is building off the trailer's use of Journey's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart," which is certainly applicable to the core narrative.

Stranger Things season 4's soundtrack starts off strong with several songs in the first few episodes, but then they fall off as the story goes on. Episodes 3 and 7 notably don't have any pop or rock songs play - only the official score is used. And Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 hasn't been released yet, so the songs in those episodes haven't been included.
