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.
