Neon Trees
Band Provo United States Formed 2005
Neon Trees formed in 2005 in Provo, United States. Neon Trees has 117 chart appearances on 87 radio countdowns from 39 stations on RockLists, spanning 2010–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Animal”, which appears on 52 lists and was voted number one twice. In total the artist has topped 2 countdowns. The station that charted Neon Trees most often is X96 (Salt Lake City, UT), with 13 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2010.
Neon Trees got their start in Provo, Utah, in 2005, and they got their big break when the Killers took them out as an opening act on several North American dates in late 2008. Mercury Records signed them soon after, and their first single, "Animal", became a smash, climbing to number one on the Alternative Songs chart and 13 on the Hot 100.
Habits, their 2010 debut, is a shiny, nervous-energy new-wave-rock record, all handclaps, synth stabs and big yelped choruses, with "1983" and "Your Surrender" riding in the slipstream of "Animal". Picture Show followed in 2012 with "Everybody Talks", a sugar rush of a single that barely sits still, and Pop Psychology in 2014 brought "Sleeping With a Friend". After a long gap came I Can Feel You Forgetting Me and "Used to Like" in 2020, and Sink Your Teeth in 2024.
The band today is Tyler Glenn, Chris Allen, Branden Campbell and Elaine Bradley.
