MANILA, Philippines — Netflix's "Stranger Things" really has a way with reviving music as Metallica's "Master of Puppets," used in the Season 4 finale, is seeing a resurgence among listeners.
The ninth episode of the hit show's fourth season sees Joseph Quinn's Eddie Munson perform "Master of Puppets" while in the mysterious Upside Down in an attempt to distract supernatural bats, and the performance was as metal as any fan could ask for.
Billboard's data collector Luminate said streaming plays for the 1986 classic went up by 650.3%, from 1,020,333 on-demand audio and video streams to a whopping 7,655,536 a week after the finale was dropped.
Even digital track sales for "Master of Puppets" saw a humungous increase as it went up 999% during the week of July 1 to 6. Netflix dropped Episode 9 titled "The Piggyback" on the first day of July.
