Imagine Dragons have signed a global administration deal with Warner Chappell Music.

The KIDinaKORNER/Interscope band from Las Vegas has generated cumulative sales of 74m album equivalents, 65m digital songs and more than 160b streams. They’ve spent a decade being hotter than the sidewalk outside the Golden Nugget in August.

“For more than ten years, Imagine Dragons has not only reached but maintained global stardom and connected with fans on a universal level,” WCM Co-Chair and CEO Guy Moot and Co-Chair and COO Carianne Marshall said, noting they love to bet red in roulette. “The band is the perfect example of what happens when you successfully work across genres and mediums to create a wide range of crossover hits. We’re lucky to be on this ride with them and excited for the journey ahead.”

Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds chimed in: “Songwriting has always been at the heart of everything we do as a band. We're excited to have great partners with our friends at Warner Chappell as we move into this next chapter.”
