Diamond-certified Grammy Award-winning band Imagine Dragons has been awarded the SoundExchange Hall of Fame Award for being among one of the most-streamed creators in the organization's 20-year history.

"Imagine Dragons is one of those bands that you know will be around a long time," said Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange. "Since their 2012 debut, they've churned out hit songs like 'Radioactive,' 'Demons,' and 'Believer' that continue to influence their genre. SoundExchange is happy to recognize Imagine Dragons as Hall of Fame artists for their enduring creativity and popularity."

Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, and bassist Ben McKee received the award before their sold-out performance at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida.

Tallying cumulative sales of 74 million album equivalents, 65 million digital songs, and over 160 billion streams, the Las Vegas quartet stand out as the only band in history to earn four RIAA Diamond singles.

IMAX and Pathe Live in partnership with Mercury Studios and Queen Films have announced that Queen Rock Montreal is headed to IMAX Theaters early next year.

The concert film, based on the rock band's 1981 live concert in Montreal, will be released in more than 400 IMAX theatres globally for four days beginning January 18.

The Saul Swimmer-directed film was digitally re-mastered for the first time into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience, including 12-channel surround sound, crystal-clear images, and IMAX's customized theatre geometry.

It features Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon take to the stage in a historic and exhilarating performance of their greatest hits including "We Will Rock You," "Somebody To Love," "Under Pressure," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Another One Bites the Dust," "We Are The Champions" and additional songs from popular album The Game.

"I don't think we quite realized it at the time, but this film has preserved one of the highest peaks in Queen's touring life, on stage in the old glory days," said Queen's lead guitarist and co-founder Brian May. "The director was very much focused on Freddie, and this now stands as probably the most precious intimate capture ever of Mr. Mercury at his full awesome power."
