Billboard magazine has confirmed what small town strippers have known for five years: Nickelback are awesome. So awesome, in fact, that Billboard has declared them the band of the decade.
Nickelback sold more records than any other band from 2000 to 2009 (yes, indie kids, even more than Radiohead), according to Billboard. They've sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and released four albums over the decade.
Eminem is Billboard's top artist of the decade, having outsold everyone else from 2000 to 2009. Meanwhile, NSync's No Strings Attached (yeah, you forgot it existed, didn't you?) was the top selling album of the decade.
Nickelback were recently voted the worst band in the world by the readers of Word magazine. They picked up a whopping 20 per cent of the overall vote.
By the way, here's yet another reason to loathe Sept. 11, 2001: It was the date Nickelback's Silver Side Up, which launched them to stardom with the nearly ubiquitous "How You Remind Me," was released.
My favorite nickelback strip club song is probably "next contestant" do you guys recommend any other nickelback strip club songs?
For a while, "Next Contestant" was the ringtone that rang when my son called. It was after he broke up with his long time girlfriend. For a few months, he was going through them at the rate of one or two a week. I thought it was funny as hell, but he was not amused. :)
