Nickelback epitomize the dichotomy of a band beloved by audiences but reviled by critics. Without question the most popular rock band of the early 21st century, Nickelback streamlined the aggression of 1990s' grunge, adding an arena-rock earnestness that's proved irresistible to millions of fans. Detractors rejected the band's heavy-handedly emotive style, personified by frontman Chad Kroeger's deep-throated groan, but a steady string of radio-friendly rockers and manly ballads kept Nickelback albums in the charts throughout the 2000s. Nickelback's first new album for Roadrunner was released in 2001. Silver Side Up announced the band's sonic strategy within its first two songs – the surging 'Never Again,' which addressed domestic abuse from the prospective of an observant child, and an epic power ballad about a destructive relationship.
Those hits, which both went to No. 1 on the mainstream rock charts, opened the door for Nickelback's brand of sincere musicianship. 'How You Remind Me' topped the pop charts, Silver Side Up went platinum six times over, and Nickelback were suddenly the biggest rock band in the land.
By the time of 2005's All the Right Reasons, Nickelback were synonymous with soulless corporate rock in the minds of many hipsters. But if anything, All the Right Reasons proved that Nickelback – assisted by new drummer Daniel Adair – were even more popular than before.
The lead single 'Photograph,' an affectingly nostalgic song about Chad Kroeger's teen years, went to No. 2 on the pop charts, and four singles hit the Top 10 of the mainstream rock charts. Nickelback weren't evolving musically, but their meat-and-potatoes hard rock was clearly still in high demand. All the Right Reasons sold 7 million copies. In 2008, Nickelback signed with Live Nation for concert promotion and album distribution. Additionally, the band's sixth studio album, Dark Horse, hit shelves in November 17, 2008, with first single 'Gotta Be Somebody' coming to radio at the end of September.
The album was co-produced by the band and producer/songwriter Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, best known for producing classic albums. Dark Horse became Nickelback's fourth straight multi-platinum album selling over three million copies in the U.S. Alone and spending 125 weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart. With the release of Nickelback's eighth album No Fixed Address on November 14, 2014, the band finally experienced a decline in sales. The band's first release on Republic Records, after leaving long-time record label Roadrunner Records in 2013, was a commercial disappointment. The album sold 80,000 copies in its first week and to date has failed to achieve gold status (500,000 copies) in the U.S. Some songs such as 'Got Me Runnin' Round,' featuring rapper Flo Rida and a horn section, depart from Nickelback's tried and true style. The album's sales decline also reflects an industry wide decline in rock album sales.
Before they became superstars, Nickelback opened for acts like and 3 Doors Down. Silver Side Up was released on September 11, 2001, the same day as the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Chad Kroeger collaborated on Santana's 2002 album Shaman, singing on the song 'Why Don't You & I.' . 'Side of a Bullet' from All the Right Reasons was written in response to the of Pantera guitarist 'Dimebag' Darrell Abbott, who was a friend of Nickelback. Before joining Nickelback, Daniel Adair was the drummer for 3 Doors Down.
