For Reynolds, 'It's Time' serves as perhaps the most full-circle song in their catalog. Ten years later, it's still the song with which Imagine Dragons open the majority of their live shows. The major-label debut single from Imagine Dragons cracked the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, also finding its way onto multiple screens thanks to Gossip Girl, Perks of Being a Wallflower and Glee.

(They had to cancel shows in Ukraine and Russia due to the countries' ongoing conflict, but Imagine Dragons showed their support for Ukraine by becoming ambassadors for United24, the organization launched by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that collects charitable donations for his country.)ĭuring a brief break from performing, Reynolds reminisced with about some of his group's most recognizable hits to date.

The group kicked off their 72-date Mercury World Tour in Miami in February, and they return to North America on Aug. Luckily for Imagine Dragons and their fans, plenty of songs have emerged from Reynolds' daily songwriting - and it's taken him and his band around the world. 'I have thousands and thousands of recorded songs with lyrics and melody that never saw the light of day.' 'I started writing when I was 12, and I have recorded a song almost every day since then,' Reynolds tells. While the band has only been active in the mainstream for a decade, 35-year-old Reynolds is going on 25 years of making music. Combined, the group's streams top 100 billion, thanks to other hits like 'Whatever It Takes' and 'Enemy.' The latter track is part of the group's sixth LP (and first compilation album), Mercury - Acts 1 & 2, and became their latest top 5 single on the Billboard Hot 100 - proving that they're not done making hits.īehind each one of Imagine Dragons' songs is frontman Dan Reynolds, the group's principal songwriter.

Four of the hitmaking group's singles - 'Radioactive,' 'Believer,' 'Demons,' and 'Thunder' - each have more than a billion views on YouTube and a billion streams on Spotify.Ĭlearly those aren't the only songs that have made Imagine Dragons one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 2010s. Since Imagine Dragons debuted 10 years ago, billion has become their default number.
