Imagine Dragons tie a vaunted Billboard Hot 100 record this week, as "Radioactive" logs its 76th week on the survey. The sum ties the mark established by Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in 2008-09
this is some achievement.

despite my best efforts, i've heard this band before. it's pretty grim, this nu-grunge.

well, this live review might have made it all worth it:

not a fan of them but shit like "Although the audience was young, the amount of children present proves that the average Imagine Dragons fan is an enlightened and advanced being -- as this is a serious band of serious musicians, most certainly only capable of being understood by adult intellectuals" come on

i thought there were lots of funny lines but i guess i don't really give a shit about the message or w/e

i can't remember what song these guys do and what songs monsters and men do but they are all slightly post-apocalyptic sounding chanty anthemic things. when I turn on the radio these days it's like being at a nazi rally there's so much chanting and shit going on. there I said it.

it's like, write an alternative rock radio hit in two minutes: chant chant chant whistle whistle whistle chant chant chant whistle wee wee
― akm, Friday, 14 March 2014 23:18 (ten years ago) link
should I write songs like this? maybe I would sell more than five records if I did.
If Imagine Dragons = Mackerelmore, does Drake = Dave Mathews Band?

Holding the audience captive with their intense stage presence, the Naked and Famous swayed with the sort of intensity only witnessed at the city's finest topless bars in North Minneapolis

My roommate was playing this at the minimum level on her laptop (like one bar above the complete mute of the mac sound level) and I thought she was playing like, a broadway soundtrack

Oh no, they're being cited as an influence. This is from a NEEDTO BREATHE email press release:
MTV praises the bands "thunderous folk-rock" and adds "the South Carolina natives have managed to infuse the contemporary, chest-thumping rock styling's of Imagine Dragons with the old-school, down-home goodness of a group like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ... wrapped up in an ethereal, woodsy, Bon Iver
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 15:09 (ten years ago) link
also one of the biggest alt hits of the last few months sounds like a carbon copy of ID's first hit "It's Time"

Ugh, that American Authors song has got to be one of the most god-awful hit singles in recent memory (perhaps even more unbearable than "Radioactive", which is quite an achievement)
