From that point forward, the boys from Las Vegas have been unstoppable. They have won three American Music Awards, one Grammy Award, one MTV Video Music Award, and one World Music Award. In 2014, the band was nominated for 14 Billboard Music Awards, including Top Artist of the Year and a Milestone Award, which recognizes the innovation and creativity of artists across different genres. Not only that but in April 2018, the band was nominated 11 more times for Billboard Music Awards.
They have sold 35 million singles in the USA and 20 million albums worldwide winding up to be the most-streamed band of 2018 on Spotify. The group has performed at events like Grammy Awards, Billboard Music Awards, and MTV Europe Music Awards. They have collaborated with other famous artists like Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Elisa, Kygo, Kendrick Lamar and Khalid to create new tracks.
Imagine Dragon’s most recent drop is their single ‘Birds’ featuring the Italian singer and songwriter Elisa.
