Each Friday, Chart Beat presents “Bubbling Under,” a weekly look at new and noteworthy acts making their way toward Billboard chart success.
Up this week: Imagine Dragons, Wolf Gang, Kristen Kelly and Kevin McCall.
In just three months, Las Vegas rock band Imagine Dragons has gone from making its first appearance on a Billboard chart to reaching the top 10 on Alternative Songs (No. 10 this week) and Triple A (No. 8) with debut KIDinaKORNER/Interscope single “It’s Time.” On the Billboard 200, the band’s Continued Silence EP debuts at No. 165. Following the release of the single’s video, the band was spotlighted as MTV’s PUSH artist of the week beginning April 16. The group plays the Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Del., July 21. “There is something deeply personal and yet incredibly exciting about sharing new songs with a live audience for the first time,” lead vocalist Dan Reynolds says. “We can’t wait to have that communal experience.” –Billboard.com
