“Mercury – Act 1” received a digital reissue on February 4th, 2022, following the unexpected skyrocket to success of the single “Enemy”.
“Enemy” was initially released October 26th 2021 as part of the soundtrack for Arcane: League Of Legends.
Capitalizing off of its success and recognition, Imagine Dragons added it to “Mercury – Act 1” on the “Additional Track Version”, thus boosting the album’s total streams solely by accounting Enemy as part of it.
Even though the physical release of the album still remained with the song “My Life” as track one, when the double album version release, combined with “Mercury – Act 2”, on July first, during pre-orders and when fans opened the package, Enemy was listed and present as track 1 of the double album re-issue of “Mercury – Act 1”.
However, a double album re-issue never occured for the vinyl format, so Act 1 never recieved a vinyl pressing with Enemy in any way. To remedy this, the Act 2 vinyl, released December 2022, has Enemy added as the 19th, and final track, on “Mercury – Act 2”.
