Nickelback's lead pop single, "What Are You Waiting For", impacts Hot AC stations on September 22. Just gonna make a thread here, since it's pretty obvious it'll get pushed here also.
This will also be the second single from the upcoming album, as the lead single will be a Rock single, "Edge of a Revolution", which will be pushed for Active adds on August 18. This marks the first time since their breakout that the band has released a Rock single before the Pop single to start an album.

I'm sure it'll be catchy as hell but I hope they don't go all Daughtry on us though.
'When We Stand Together' took ages to get anywhere last time and only peaked at 44.

can't wait, that should be a great song for sure!
...and one more thing, "haters" are everywhere! If you don't like them then why bother posting here?

From the title it sounds like it could be a 'If Today Was Your Last Day' type song.

Oddly enough, I just got back from the gym and had a Nickelback throwback for my whole workout. It's a pleasant surprise to see this now! I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully it will perform better than "Waiting for Superman" by Daughtry which was super radio friendly and still got ignored.
And another thing... the "it's not cool to like Nickelback" kick is over. If anyone says they didn't like Nickelback during the All the Right Reason + Dark Horse era, then they're just lying to themselves.

I will admit I enjoyed them from Silver Side Up through All the Right Reasons though. Nothing great, but just easy catchy pop rock to listen to.

The song premiered on german radio stations earlier today. As a long-time Nickelback fan (yes, we still exist) this song sounds a little bit like a boy band pop song to me.

Hopefully a stream will be up soon. I recorded about 45 seconds with my mobile phone and sent it to my brother via whatsapp.. But the quality is low and I'm not sure whether it's illegal or not to upload it anywhere (i guess it is because the song isn't officially available)

Just heard this. It's actually really good. It's not boy band pop like previously stated, but it's not a rocker. I don't know what I'd compare it to, it doesn't sound like any of their other songs, but it's not really out of the box creativity wise. It's pretty repetitive too like "Edge of a Revolution" is. "What are you waiting for?" is said throughout the whole song. I dig it though.

It's out now in Australia (and presumably available in countries who get music on Fridays, too lazy to check ). Switch your store over to hear it!

To post 4 times in a row , this is like "If Today Was Your Last Day". Not sure how I didn't see that before.

I like it, I just hope the rest of the album isn't this poppy.
