In a lesson of perseverance, Djo‘s “End of Beginning” has reached #1 on the U.K.’s Official Singles Chart.
“End of Beginning” was initially released in 2022 on the Djo album Decide. It then became a viral TikTok smash in 2024, making it Djo’s breakout hit.
In now conquering the Official Singles Chart, “End of Beginning” received a boost from the series finale of Stranger Things. Djo frontman Joe Keery, of course, played the character Steve Harrington on the Netflix sci-fi series.
The post-Stranger Things bump also led “End of Beginning” to reenter the Billboard Hot 100 at #16. Billboard reports that it could jump to the top 10 in the coming week, which would beat its previous Hot 100 peak of #11.
The most recent Djo album is 2025’s The Crux , which includes the singles “Basic Being Basic” and “Delete Ya.”
