The Chemical Brothers’ ‘Go’ goes viral after Netflix ‘Apex’ sync

Originally, ‘Go’ was the lead single from the duo’s 2015 album ‘Born in the Echoes’. The track picked up a Grammy nomination at the time and has remained a cult favourite among fans of The Chemical Brothers, but the Netflix sync has just lifted it back into mainstream chart territory more than a decade after release.

Meanwhile, the viral clip from ‘Apex’ is racking up tens of millions of views across TikTok, Instagram and X. The scene’s pacing matches the rhythm of ‘Go’ so tightly that the track has effectively become the calling card for the film, with users editing their own versions of the moment using the same song.

Now, streaming numbers tell the same story. ‘Go’ is climbing rapidly on Spotify’s Global Top 50, an unusual chart position for a 2015 dance track from a duo that mainly operates outside top-40 territory. Shazam tagged the song to number one within days of the film hitting Netflix’s top spot.

The story is also a reminder of how cinema and streaming can reshape catalogue value overnight. Every major sync moment of the past two years, from Kate Bush’s ‘Stranger Things’ resurgence to Suzanne Vega in ‘The Last of Us’ and beyond, has shown the same pattern, but few have moved as quickly as the ‘Apex’ moment for The Chemical Brothers.

For the duo, then, the timing is useful. The Chemical Brothers continue to tour through 2026, and the rediscovery via ‘Apex’ now brings a younger audience to the catalogue right as the live show ramps for summer.
