Daisy Jones & the Six became the first fictional band to hit No. 1 on iTunes charts Thursday. The series by the same name also premiered that day.
The most hyped faux band ever, Daisy Jones & the Six, just topped the charts on iTunes, becoming the first fictional band to hit No. 1.
Daisy Jones & the Six is the fictional band at the center of the highly anticipated Amazon Prime Video series of the same name. The series is an adaption of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s New York Times bestselling novel that broke #BookTok and caught the attention of series co-producer Reese Witherspoon.
The series uses an oral history format to create a “rockumentary”-style depiction of a popular rock band’s demise à la Fleetwood Mac, complete with angsty love triangles, sex, drugs and, of course, rock ’n’ roll.
“Daisy Jones & the Six” made its splashy debut on Amazon on Thursday, and released the album created for the series, titled “Aurora,” on the same day.
“We finally have Aurora. A stunning, nostalgic, timeless album that captures the drama, pathos, and yearning of the band’s zenith and nadir all in one,” Reid shared in a statement.
