Data Insight

Night Visions was produced primarily by Alex da Kid and Brandon Darner alongside Imagine Dragons, with mixing handled by Manny Marroquin and Mark Needham and mastering by Joe LaPorta and Randy Merrill. The album launched Imagine Dragons from a Las Vegas local act to global headliners: "Radioactive" spent 87 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, the longest consecutive run in chart history at the time, and peaked at number three. "Demons" reached number six and "It's Time" number 15. The album earned Imagine Dragons a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance for "Radioactive" at the 56th Grammy Awards in 2014, and Night Visions itself won the Billboard Music Award for Top Rock Album that same year.

Night Visions is the debut studio album by Imagine Dragons, released in September 2012 on Interscope / KIDinaKORNER and produced by Alex da Kid, Jayson DeZuzio, Brandon Darner, and Alain Johannes. The album became a massive commercial and critical success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and eventually spending over 200 weeks on that chart. The lead single 'Radioactive' became a phenomenon, spending a then-record eighty-seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance. 'Demons,' 'It's Time,' and 'On Top of the World' further established Imagine Dragons as one of rock's most commercially dominant new acts. Night Visions sold over six million copies in the United States alone and launched the band into the arena rock stratosphere, where they have remained ever since.
