Y’know those songs that creep up quietly, live in your head for months, then suddenly take over the world? Djo‘s ‘End of Beginning’ is officially in that category.
The track has now secured a second consecutive week at #1 on the Official UK Singles Chart, cementing its late-bloom glow-up after originally appearing on Djo’s 2022 album DECIDE. It also recently went double platinum in the UK and passed two billion streams on Spotify, which is… a lot of feelings, statistically speaking.
A Song That Refused to Rush
‘End of Beginning’ previously peaked at #4 back in 2024, quietly gathering momentum before finally claiming the top spot last week. Now it’s holding its ground, and doing so globally.
The single has also landed:
- #1 on Billboard’s Global 200
- #6 on the Billboard Hot 100
Not bad for a track that’s been patiently waiting its turn.
The Crux Era Is Still Climbing
The chart wins come alongside continued momentum for Djo’s third album, The Crux, and its companion release, The Crux Deluxe. Other tracks from the record are climbing the UK charts too:
- ‘Basic Being Basic’ at #62
- ‘Delete Ya’ rising to #72
Released earlier this year via AWAL, The Crux marked a shift in sound for Djo, leaning into guitar-driven arrangements, warm instrumentation, and songwriting that sits somewhere between introspection and dry wit.
The album was written across multiple cities before being shaped at Electric Lady Studios in New York, with longtime collaborator Adam Thein. It’s a record that feels restless, reflective, and surprisingly grounded, especially considering the scale it’s now reached.
A Massive Year on Stage
2025 was also the year Djo took the project properly global. Highlights included:
- Debuts at Glastonbury Festival and Coachella
- A completely sold-out international tour
- Three nights at LA’s Greek Theatre
- Three nights at London’s O2 Forum
Not exactly easing into it.
What’s Next
Djo is set to hit major festivals again in 2026, including:
- Lollapalooza Argentina
- Lollapalooza Chile
- Lollapalooza Brasil
- Festival Estéreo Picnic (Colombia)
The Crux and The Crux Deluxe are available now.
