Dan Reynolds (singer) fell sick just prior to the Bite of Las Vegas Festival. Imagine Dragons were called to fill in for them and performed in front of a crowd of more than 26,000 people. In November 2011, they signed with Interscope Records and began working with Grammy award-winning producer Alex da Kid. Imagine Dragons released their debut studio album "Night Visions" on September 4, 2012. The album was preceded by their first single "It's Time", released on August 18, 2012. "Night Visions" charted in the top ten albums in the U.S. in 2012, 2013, and 2014. It won a Billboard Music Award

As of December 2018, the video has over 760 million views. "Believer" reached number four on the "Billboard" Hot 100,
