Why did Imagine Dragons flop after Evolve?

'Enemy' is literally a mainstream hit right now. They are back to the charts 🎉 Deservedly so. It's a banger.

 

'Follow You' was a minor hit in Europe too.

 find another one and the gp‘s taste follows them like sheep. 

omg that's me I remember listening to them on radio for the first time, I instantly started to like them + their songs were on the radio all the time but I stopped listening to them a few years ago. I went to their Spotify page and I only recognized one song(Natural) from their last two albums. 

 

So I guess the reason why I stopped being their ''fan'' is bc radio is not supporting them anymore

They have the opening theme for the most globally popular show on streaming right now, I'd say they're far from flopping.

I think as a fanbase we have a fairly limited scope of recognizing the lifespan of musicians’ careers. For a mega star like Gaga to dip slightly in the public eye from BTW to ARTPOP seemed gargantuan at the time. But realistically, for artists who were once huge but not of global superstar status, it’s common for popularity to wane. We’re now seeing that with a lot of artists who were big in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Miley, Demi, Lorde, Kesha, Imagine Dragons, Katy….all impossibly huge before, but in the past two years we’ve observed how they still sell enough to have a top 10 album, but it’s not the same as at their peaks. I think it’s just the changing of times.
