With over 74 million albums sold and 160 billion streams, they have broken records for the most songs surpassing one billion streams on Spotify.
In 2018, they released *Origins*, showcasing their versatility and artistic evolution. The band later ventured into the world of streaming with their double album, *Mercury – Acts 1 & 2* (2022), featuring their hit “Enemy”.
