CULTURAL IMPACT

The Las Vegas-based band formed in Provo, Utah, when vocalist Dan Reynolds met drummer Andrew Tolman while both were students at Brigham Young University. In 2012, Imagine Dragons hit it big with the Continued Silence EP and their debut long-player, Night Visions, the latter of which debuted at the number two spot on the Billboard 200 and landed the group multiple awards — it later went double platinum in the U.S., largely on the smash success of the Grammy-winning hit "Radioactive," which became the biggest-ever digital rock track in America. Two other hits followed in 2013: "Demons" in the United States and "On Top of the World" elsewhere. The majority of 2014 was spent working on the group's second album.
