The second part of “Stranger Things 4” is doing to Metallica what the first part did to Kate Bush.
After the success of “Running Up That Hill”, the time has come for the heavy metal band’s “Master of Puppets” to hit the music charts.
According to Billboard, the 1986 song had a 400% increase in searches on streaming services, across multiple platforms. “Master of Puppets” is currently number 1 on the iTunes rock chart and more charts are expected to mark its rise in the coming days. Detail: the original recording never made it to any hit charts.
The music is performed by Eddie Munson, the character of Joseph Quinn, at a pivotal moment in the final chapter, in an epic scene set in the Upside Down.
Metallica himself took advantage of the success to release a “duet” with Eddie, playing his chords in the studio to accompany the series’ scenes on TikTok.
Released on Friday (8/7), the duet’s video has already been seen by 8 million people, the band’s second largest audience on the social network.
Do you want to know which is the biggest? A live concert version of the same song, released on the opening weekend of part 2 of “Stranger Things 4”, which reached 19 million viewers.
Metallica really approved of the way the series used its classic metalhead. “The way the Duffer Brothers incorporate music into ‘Stranger Things’ has always been on another level, so we were overwhelmingly thrilled that they not only included ‘Master of Puppets’, but that they had such a fundamental scene built around it. music. everyone I couldn’t wait to see the final result and when we saw it, we were completely blown away, “the band said on their official Instagram.
“It was so extremely well done, some people were able to guess the song just by seeing a few seconds of Joseph Quinn’s hands in the trailer!” Added the band. “It has been an incredible honor to be such an important part of Eddie’s journey and to be in the company of all the other amazing artists featured in the series.”
