Djo - End of the Beginning

[POP!]

The guy from Stranger Things. It's taking off (#11 in UK and #51 debut in the US)

 

[POP!]

This has grown on me quite a bit. It's up to #11 on the Hot 100 this week and #1 on US Spotify apparently. Made it to #4 in the UK chart.

 

[POP!]

This is somehow back to #2 on Global Spotify

 

[POP!]

It’s now #1 on US Spotify and expected to re peak on the Hot 100. It originally peaked at #11 here (In 2024)

I wouldn't hate this being a number one. It's so low-key that it really doesn't sound like it was ever intended to be a commercial hit. Obviously this 2026 revival is entirely Stranger Things driven, but the 2024 run felt more like genuine popularity and it being Keery was just a surprise bit of trivia.

It does nicely round off Keery being one of the surprise breakouts of the show. Interesting that even though the show was a phenomenon from s1, it's the latecomers like Keery, Sadie Sink and Jamie Campbell-Bower who may end up doing the best out of it.

Pleased this earworm is number one here.

It does feel quite different from the songs on his new album though. Basic Being Basic and Delete Ya are kind of boppy in a their own way.
