Their hit single "How You Remind Me" from their third album Silver Side Up reached the top on the Canadian Singles Chart and the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.This makes them the second Canadian band to accomplish this, the first being The Guess Who with "American Woman".Nickelback has sold almost 15 million albums in the United States and nearly 2 million albums in their native Canada.Nickelback's latest release, All the Right Reasons has already sold over 6 million albums in the United States and over 9 million albums worldwide, and produced five U.Hot 100 top 20 singles, "Photograph", "Savin' Me", "Far Away", "If Everyone Cared", and "Rockstar", each with an accompanying music video.The album has enjoyed great longevity on the Billboard 200, spending the majority of its weeks in either the top 10 or top 20 of the chart, and was found yet again in the top 10 of the chart in its 102nd week.Someday appeared in the Cold Case episode "Saving Sammy".On December 4, 2006, Nickelback won three Billboard Music Awards out of five nominations.Also, Nickelback won a World Music Award for best rock group on November 15, 2006, which happened to be Chad's 32nd birthday.Nickelback joined the 6 million sales club with All the Right Reasons, it's the 16th album so far in the 21st century that has reach that level.Despite earlier reports that the band would begin recording their next studio album by the end of 2007, Nickelback plans to take a hiatus from touring for a while, before going back to the recording studio.How You Remind Me Of Someday
In 2003, an internet meme known as "How You Remind Me of Someday" or "Nickelback to Back" was created to illustrate the similarities between the songs How You Remind Me and Someday.The songs were edited in many ways, such as the songs being cut to match and one being louder so it sounds like they are both exactly the same.In response, bass player Mike Kroeger said "I think that's remarkable for someone to notice that there is a hit quality.When you have a distinct style, you run the risk of sounding similar."Music videos

Y!DelegateListener('yuimenuitem', 'hd', 'click', YAHOO.Canada's Nickelback started life as a cover band in Hanna, 215 kilometers northeast of Calgary.Hours() * 3600 + newCurrentTime.Minutes() * 60 + newCurrentTime.Minutes() * 60 + currentTime.Ships from and sold by Amazon.Want it delivered Friday, January 11?Day Shipping at checkout.See all 352 customer reviews...Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?Visit our audio help page for more information.The only difference now is that they have the satisfaction, 10 million CDs later, of smugly knowing that even some of their biggest naysayers will guiltily admit to singing along with Nickelback's catchy hits.The disc's most impressive and simultaneously surreal moment, however, exists on "Side of a Bullet," a passionate revenge tale written about the killer of Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, which features one of the late Abbott's guitar solos as donated by Pantera bandmate and brother, drummer Vinnie Paul.Buy the sheet music for Nickelback at Sheet Music Plus.No Credit Card Required.See all 348 customer reviews...The easiest way to shoot video reviews.On the surface, Nickelback has always appeared a band arguably too hard for pop radio but perhaps too mainstream for most diehard rock traditionalists; however, ALL THE RIGHT REASONS gives fans of all music the chance to enjoy what they have to offer.It's one terrific album with crossover potential that should please the group's strongest followers as well as endear new listeners to the fold."Someone That You're With" blares out for eventual audiences in arenas around the world; and "Rock Star," "Savin' Me," and "If Everyone Cared" round out just one tremendous listening experience.The album's definitely worth its spins.Was this review helpful to you?Your vote will be counted and will appear on the product page within 24 hours."After again, being saturated in a multitude of new bands for what seemed like the millionth time, the cream finally rose to the crop, and to me Nickelback seems to stand out.The key to their success isn't necessarily innovation or creativity, they aren't Pink Floyd.But then again they don't want to be, and that's what makes their music fun.Nickelback gives us some traditional rock and roll that can be fast, slow and fun.With the release of "All the right Reasons", Nickelback makes a very "complete" album that flows well throughout.The song "photograph" is a power ballad for the modern day rock scene and one who's popularity has not seemed to die down.If Nickelback can continue putting out records like this, they'll be talked about for a long time to come.Was this review helpful to you?Anthony Rupert "shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP!!!"Thus, if you heard "Photograph" and then picked up All the Right Reasons when it first came out, it was probably pretty obvious that "Savin' Me" (my favorite song) and "Far Away" would be the next two singles.How old are they, sixteen?Basically, even if you're like I am and don't accuse Nickelback of being sellouts or rock wannabes, the only right reason for buying this album is for the singles.Was this review helpful to you?All the Right Reasons by Nickelback
Our son was so pleased with this CD and I was thrilled when all of my order came to the home and I was able to have my Christmas shopping complete.You either love em or think they're the worse thing to happen to rock since MTV.Not as angry, still rocking
