    BC their recording company spends lots of money/ easy to play bc of non offensive lyrics.

    all any of us half *kitten* rock fans ever care about anyway are the ballads and "sell out" songs anyway, so I think what they come up with is quite brilliant.

    It goes far beyond airtime.

    They're one of the most commercially successful bands in Canadian history with 50 million albums sold worldwide. That's a real number, Google it. Fifty million albums sold ranking them the 11th best selling band and ranked second as the best selling "foreign" band in the US. Who was #1? The Beatles.

    They had 4 albums listed on Billboards top albums of the decade which gave them the coveted title of "The best rock group of the decade" by Billboard.

    They've had countless albums top the charts in the both the US and Canada and they've won like 10+ Juno awards.

    I'm not even a fan of Nickelback either way, I'm impartial but the hate they get is just dumb. If you can't gauge the success of a band via the album sales which equates to people enjoying their music, then what metric would you use?

    I think they get a bad rap because frat boys love them.

    I like them.

    Especially if alcohol is involved.

    I don't mind them. Not my favorite but I never understood some people's hate for them either.
