While we typically look at the charts to find new songs to listen to, some of us have now turned to Bridgerton for inspiration. The Netflix phenomenon has resulted in a surge in streams for Vitamin String Quartet, a Los Angeles-based collective known for their classical versions of some of pop's biggest hits.

Since its release on Christmas Day, Bridgerton has been watched by more than 63 million households, making it Netflix's fifth biggest original series launch. The show, based on the romance novel series by Julia Quinn, follows eight close-knit siblings of the Bridgerton family as they look for love (and a "suitable match") in Regency London society.
