According to Billboard, the title track off the metal legends' 1986 album has seen a 400% increase in streams since it was used in the season four finale of the Netflix sci-fi series.
While that certainly is a major bump,"Master of Puppets" still has a long way to go if it hopes to match the resurgence of Kate Bush's"Running Up That Hill," which soared all the way to the top five of the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 after its use in an earlier episode of"Stranger Things" during the fourth season.
Metallica previously commented on the show's use of"Master of Puppets," which is heard during a significant scene involving the Dungeons & Dragons-loving character Eddie Munson, sharing that they were"beyond psyched" about the song's placement. "We were all stoked to see the final result and when we did, we were totally blown away," the band said.
Meanwhile, Metallica took to TikTok to defend any newcomers who might've just discovered the band's music through"Stranger Things," saying,"FYI -- EVERYONE is welcome in the Metallica family."
