Becoming Djo: How Joe Keery took the No.1 spot from Taylor Swift
On January 2nd, 2026, “End of Beginning” went to Number 1 in Spotify’s Top 50 Global chart. It first entered the UK chart in February 2024, peaked at Number 4, and then came back for the top spot within a week. Why did a 2022 album track wait so long to win?
Joe Keery’s music story starts long before Stranger Things. As a tween he wanted the School of Rock dream for real, so he and a friend started playing. He grew up on his parents’ staples like The Beatles, and his first concert was Bruce Springsteen when he was 11. In high school he practiced guitar in a freezing garage, then moved into Chicago’s scene and released records with the psych rock band Post Animal.
Then Netflix pulled him out of that world. Stranger Things demanded time in Atlanta, and he has said he felt a huge fear of missing out on the community he left behind. He also worried about the “actor who releases an album” label, so he put his solo work under the name Djo to give himself a fair shot.
His solo work was never a quick celebrity drop. Twenty Twenty arrived in 2019, then Decide in 2022. For his third album, The Crux, he co-produced with Adam Thein at Electric Lady Studios in New York. It came out in April 2025 through AWAL. The rollout led with “Basic Being Basic” and a full touring run, with Post Animal appearing on select dates.
Keery has also admitted to imposter syndrome and anxiety around how seriously people take him. That pressure is part of the Djo project. It is pop music that sounds fun, while writing about attention and identity in a blunt way.
The song that finally broke through is about returning to Chicago, and it first took off as people used it under clips of their own home towns. In the UK it spent 28 weeks in the Top 100 before this latest leap. When the Stranger Things finale landed in the UK on New Year’s Day, the track surged again, and it even knocked Taylor Swift off Spotify’s Global Chart.
That is the real lesson. Virality did not create Keery’s music career. It exposed the one he had been building all along.

Celta Vallecano — 3 days ago
I’m at a loss for how to express this. My sister welcomed twin daughters in July and I found myself in a difficult financial and emotional state. I am known as Celta Vallecano and during my quest to find quick cash, I came across an advertisement claiming that Lord Meduza provides precise numbers to those genuinely selected for freedom from financial struggles through his genuine spell. I felt compelled to take a chance, and ever since reaching out to Lord Meduza, my life has significantly improved.
As I write this, I am now a winner of €221 Million Euros after adhering to all the guidance and utilizing the MEGA MILLIONS numbers provided by Lord Meduza. I want to express my high gratitude for the fact that assistance is indeed possible to get regardless of how difficult your circumstances may seem. I highly recommend him in case you require any assistance. Simply Whats-App +18077983042 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com and for more inquiring visit: lordmeduzaspelltemple.com

Justin Simporios — 7 days ago
My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven’t won the Lotto I’ve been playing for so long, I haven’t been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now completely funded. My victory marks the biggest win for a single ticket in Lotto Max history in Canada. I still can’t believe it, Indeed there’s none like Lord Meduza. Although if you want your EX LOVER back, he can help you too so get in touch with him right now.

CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.
My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:
