Fictional band Daisy Jones & the Six from the Amazon Prime series has a real album called Aurora, released by Atlantic Records.
The album's 11 tracks have been streamed over 30 million times and reached no.1 on iTunes.
Daisy Jones & the Six became the first band developed from a scripted series to reach no.1 on Billboard's emerging artists chart.
The album's release tests whether Daisy Jones & the Six can succeed outside of their 1970s fictional world.
The cast went to band camp to learn how to convincingly perform like musicians from the 1970s, with music supervisor Frankie Pine teaching the actors.
