The band saw continued success with their subsequent albums: "Smoke + Mirrors," "Evolve," "Origins," and most recently, "Mercury: Act 1." Today, Imagine Dragons is one of the best-selling rock bands of all time with 46 million albums and 55 million songs sold globally, as well as 74 billion combined streams. You can hear their current singles, "Enemy" and "Bones", both out now.
