Joe Keery's DJO Surpasses Taylor Swift on Spotify Charts: A Musical Journey to the Top
A recent surge in Spotify rankings has propelled Joe Keery, known for his role as Steve Harrington on "Stranger Things," to the top spot with his music under the name DJO. His track "End of Beginning" from the album "Decide" surpassed Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" after a fan-driven streaming surge following the show's finale. Swift's song had held the No. 1 position for 78 consecutive days before being overtaken.
The chart shake-up holds a touch of irony as Keery and Swift had previously crossed paths at Electric Lady recording studio in New York City. Swift had praised Keery's song "End Of Beginning" before it claimed the top spot on Spotify. Keery expressed his surprise and gratitude for Swift's appreciation of his music, highlighting her reputation as a music lover with a keen ear for new music.
Reflecting on the encounter with Swift at the studio, Keery shared his amusement at being mistaken for Taylor by onlookers. Despite the unexpected turn of events on the charts, Keery hinted at the possibility of a future collaboration with Swift, leaving the door open for potential musical endeavors.
Prior to his success with "Stranger Things," Keery had been actively pursuing a musical career, being a member of the band Post Animal and releasing three solo albums. His musical journey has now resonated strongly on the charts, marking a significant milestone in his music career.
