The band could also be fake, however the fans are real.
Daisy Jones & The Six has change into the primary fictional band to top the iTunes charts with the discharge of its first album, “Aurora.”
The band was dropped at life by Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse, Will Harrison, Josh Whitehouse and Sebastian Chacon for the self-titled Amazon Prime Video show, which was adapted from the book of the identical name.
“Daisy Jones & The Six” was written by Taylor Jenkins Reid and follows the rise and fall of a Fleetwood Mac-esque band because it gets mixed up in sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll in Los Angeles within the ’70s.
The novel quickly became a #BookTok sensation — and popular beyond the social media app — after it was released in 2019.
It was immediately placed on Reese Witherspoon’s book club list and picked up by the actress’ production company, Hello Sunshine.
“Aurora” topped the iTunes charts when it was released March 2 — a day before the series premiered the primary three episodes.
“We finally have Aurora. A surprising, nostalgic, timeless album that captures the drama, pathos, and craving of the band’s zenith and nadir multi functional,” Reid said in a press release.
“A snapshot of time, intoxicating and dangerous. That delicious moment that can’t last,” Reid continued. “Daisy Jones and The Six are real. And so they are higher than my wildest dreams.”
After all, Daisy Jones and The Six isn’t the one chart-topping fake act on the market.
The Partridge Family — featuring Shirley Jones and her stepson, David Cassidy, and based on the ’70s sitcom a few family band — topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “I Think I Love You” in 1970.
And “The Monkees” — a 1966 to 1968 comedy starring Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith — spun off an actual band with the foursome.
Their self-titled debut album topped the charts in 1966 and the group scored three No. 1 Billboard hits.
Within the “Daisy Jones” book, the band’s groundbreaking record is described by the character Nick Harris, a rock critic, as “an album you’ll be able to play at a celebration. It’s an album you get high to. It’s an album you’ll be able to play as you’re speeding down the highway.”
“For each moment of your life, in 1978, ‘Aurora’ could play within the background,” Reid wrote within the novel. “And from the moment it was released, it was a juggernaut.”
The book provided song titles and a few lyrics for the fake album’s tunes but didn’t come to life until critically acclaimed songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills partnered with other well-known musicians including Phoebe Bridgers, Marcus Mumford and Jackson Browne.
Mills has previously worked with Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes, John Legend, Perfume Genius and more.
They took the lyrics from the book as inspiration to create the 11 songs on “Aurora,” in addition to others which might be played throughout the show.
But once the music was created, the second feat was training the show’s actors to perform the tunes.
Claflin and Keough — the latter is Elvis Presley’s granddaughter and Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter — star because the band’s lead singers, but each have confessed that that they had never sung professionally and were placed in an 18-month band camp together with their fellow fake bandmates to organize.
“We talked to her, and after half an hour, we were like, ‘Yes, she was [born to play the part]!’” series co-creator and co-showrunner Scott Neustadter told The Post. “But even along with her [family] background, she said to us, ‘I even have to be upfront with you and inform you, I’ve never sung before. I sing within the shower sometimes. I don’t think it’s any good.’ So, that was a wild card for us.”
The actors spent hours day-after-day practicing their instruments, learning the music, perfecting their stage presence and hanging out as an actual band.
“Our feeling was that irrespective of how great the sets look or how well written the scene, if we are able to’t persuade you that Daisy Jones & The Six are an actual band we’ve got nothing,” Neustadter told the Los Angeles Times.
A number of the stars — including Keough — have even hinted at taking “Aurora” on tour.
The favored limited series is ready to finish after its tenth episode is released.
