About Imagine Dragons
With over 60 million album equivalents and 55 million digital songs sold, Imagine Dragons are one of rock’s biggest bands and they’ve fully reinvented the genre. They own Billboard’s Top 3 rock songs of the 2010s – Believer, Thunder, and Radioactive.
For their fifth studio album, the band teamed up with esteemed producer, Rick Rubin. 2021’s Mercury – Act 1 debuted in the Billboard 200 top 10, and at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. It also launched the singles Wrecked, Cutthroat, and Follow You, with the latter reaching No. 1 on both Mediabase’s Alternative Radio and Billboard’s Alternative Airplay charts. Then came Enemy. Originally released as the theme to Netflix’s Arcane, the hit racked up more than 4 billion combined global streams across two versions, helping make Imagine Dragons the highest streaming American band in the US in 2021.
In 2022, they expanded the world of MERCURY with a double album, MERCURY – ACTS 1 & 2, including the single Bones. Sorting through personal loss and the biggest existential questions of their career, singer/songwriter, Dan Reynolds, says the two-part release is about learning to “accept the unknown” and “let go,” healing feelings Imagine Dragons are hoping to share with fans as they embark on some of their biggest shows ever this summer.
