In the U.S., it was a #1 single on the Mainstream and Modern rock charts, as well as the pop chart. The single "How You Remind Me" was a huge success, peaking at #1 on both the American and Canadian charts at the same time. In 2001, Nickelback released the Silver Side Up album, which propelled them into the mainstream. Two singles from the album, "Leader of Men" and "Breathe" were fairly successful and resulted in the album being certificated gold in Canada and the United States. The State was then re-released in 2000 by EMI and Roadrunner Records. Nickelback signed a record deal with EMI and Roadrunner Records. The following album The State was recorded in 1998 and was released as an independent record the same year. It did not chart and was only played on local radio stations. "Fly" was released on Hesher and Curb and was the first single produced by Nickelback. In the same year, Nickelback recorded their first full-length album Curb. Nickelback's first release was a seven-track EP called Hesher in 1996. The contract includes recordings, touring, merchandise and other rights. In July 2008, the band signed with Live Nation for three touring and album cycles, with an option for a fourth cycle. The band is signed to EMI in Canada and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world. Its name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job, he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back". The band is now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and places as the 2nd best selling foreign act in the US behind The Beatles for the 2000s. Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records worldwide. The band has released seven albums: "Curb" (1996), "The State" (1998), "Silver Side Up" (2001), "The Long Road" (2003), "All the Right Reasons", "Dark Horse" (2008) and "Here and Now" (2011). The band's original drummer, Brandon Kroeger, left the group in 1997, and was replaced first by Mitch Guidon from 1997 to 1998 and then Ryan Vikedal from 1998 to 2005. The band consists of Chad Kroeger (vocals, guitar), Ryan Peake (guitar, vocals), Mike Kroeger (bass) and Daniel Adair (drums). “So it was definitely time for us to make sure that we had a new album and some new songs for the fans.”įor Billboard’s exclusive Q&A with Chad Kroeger, click here.Nickelback is a rock band which formed in Hanna, Alberta, Canada in 1995. “If you’re a fan of the band and you went out and got ‘All the Right Reasons’ the first week it was released, you’d be waiting for new material for, like, three years now,” Kroeger says. But he also recognized it was time for more Nickelback music in the marketplace. In his first interview about the new album, Kroeger - who started working with Lange (“The dude is my hero,” he says) on “Dark Horse” in March in Switzerland - acknowledges that he “would’ve liked a longer break” for himself. It’s become such a monster to try to put our arms around, we’re just doing the best we can to guide it into fruition at this point.”
“That’s got to be a seriously positive sign going into a new one. “We’ve never left the previous album cycle,” Roadrunner president Jonas Nachsin says. “All the Right Reasons” also took off in a big way this summer in Europe, meaning Kroeger and his bandmates-brother and bassist Mike Kroeger, guitarist Ryan Peake and drummer Daniel Adair-were multitasking across two continents as they recorded “Dark Horse” and promoted its predecessor. 11 after a 156-week run, the longest registered in 11 years. 1 videos-and apparently unaffected by widespread critical drubbing-“All the Right Reasons” has sold 10 million copies worldwide, according to Roadrunner, and spent a staggering 110 consecutive weeks in the top 30 of the Billboard 200. Buoyed by seven multiformat hit singles and five No. 18 on Roadrunner and was co-produced by Mutt Lange, certainly has a target to clear. So for us, the bar has been raised ridiculously high.” We’ve got to try and put something out now that’s going to stand up to that. “No, because look what we have to try to live up to,” says Kroeger, who co-founded the quartet in 1995 in Alberta, Canada. Chad Kroeger laughs when asked if the phenomenal sales for 2005’s “All the Right Reasons” gave confidence to Nickelback as it set out to make its sixth studio album, “Dark Horse.”
