August Moon, Fictional Boy Band in Anne Hathaway Film ‘The Idea of You,' Debuts on Billboard's Charts
August Moon is a global sensation in the new Prime Video rom-com The Idea of You. And now, the group is officially a Billboard-charting act.
The film centers around Solène Marchand, played by Anne Hathaway, a 40-year-old single mother who has a meet-cute at Coachella with Hayes Campbell, a member of the boy band August Moon portrayed by Nicholas Galitzine. Despite their 16-year age difference, the two begin a whirlwind romance.
The soundtrack to the film is billed to August Moon. As such, and despite being a fictional act, the group scored its first Billboard entry on charts dated May 18 when the soundtrack debuted at No. 7 on Heatseekers Albums, as well as No. 11 on the Soundtracks chart, with 5,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. May 3-9, according to Luminate. On charts dated May 25, the set places at Nos. 10 and No. 18 on the rankings, respectively.
The soundtrack also sparked the group to a No. 35 arrival on the May 18 Emerging Artists chart. The 11-track album includes seven original recordings, plus acoustic versions and remixes. Its breakout song, "Dance Before We Walk," has raked in 2.6 million on-demand official U.S. streams through May 16.
Along with Galitzine as Campbell, August Moon is comprised of Dakota Adan as Rory, Jaiden Anthony as Adrian, Raymond Cham as Oliver and Vik White as Simon.
The Idea of You is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Robinne Lee, and the story is based on Harry Styles-inspired fan fiction. It was released on Amazon Prime Video May 2.
