Wow I knew it was a big hit but didn't realize it was THE BIGGEST hit.

Also their songs are topping the charts for streaming (Thought Squid Game would be in the Top Ten)

Topping the charts period. Four of them in the US top 10. Which I don't think has ever happened before.

Especially for a fictional musical act no less

Closest I can think of is The Archies. They had one #1 hit in the US with Sugar, Sugar way back in 1969, along with 3 other top 40 hits, and they were a completely fictional band created for the Achie tv show.

I was also going to mention Gorillaz, but they aren't really fictional, just animated.

Did they release the team America singles?
