Stranger Things star Joe Keery who goes by the stage name Djo has achieved a milestone in his music career as his viral song "End of Beginning" landed the number one spot on Spotify's Top 50 Global chart.

Joe released "End of Beginning" as part of his second studio album Decide in September 2022.

This year, the song went viral on TikTok and reached No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In an interview with Variety, Joe shared the inspiration behind the viral song.

"It’s about what it means to grow up and look back at a section of your life and kind of yearn for that, but then also to have a deep appreciation for what happened," he shared.

The singer-actor went on: "It’s kind of a similar thing I was going through when I was looking back at my time in Chicago. It’s like the end of a period of my life."

When asked how he felt about the song going viral on TikTok, he replied: "Yeah, I’m not on TikTok, so my friend and longtime collaborator Adam Thein let me know that something was going on. There’s a little Spotify recap page for the artists, and you can see sort of a bump and then it just kept on bumping, I guess. It was kind of crazy."

Joe was also asked about his reaction to the song landing a spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

"It’s very weird, honestly. It’s not anything that’s really been on my radar at all, so to be included now in that way is pretty cool and a little validating. But it’s not really going to change the way I work. I think I’ll probably just continue to make the stuff I want to keep making," he said.

In the same interview, Joe shared that he is set to release new music soon.

"Yeah, new music on the way. Coming up hot. Trying to finish that out and then obviously working on 'Stranger Things' still — that’s always a thing that I’m doing," he remarked.
