This and All Nightmare Long should be the next Active #1 contenders after New Divide. It's fascinating how both those singles have been practically neck-to-neck of each other since they both debuted on the Active Rock format. Sincerely, Noah Eaton Well "All Nightmare Long"'s bullet has shrunk pretty severely to like +32 or something. It should recover, but damn, that song has everything an active rock listener could want. I'm surprised that "Burn It To The Ground" is having an easier ascent considering how divisive Nickelback is among active rock listeners.

^It just proves my theory that people just like to hate on Nickelback because it's the accepted thing to do, but secretly the majority of those people like them. If that wasn't the case they wouldn't have 7 going on 8 number ones on Active, and another half a dozen top tens.

I've never really seen any Nickelback "haters" anywhere. They're generally the most loved band around now I'd guess.

ANY band that has massive mainstream success, generally is going to be bagged on as "sell-outs" and will be rejected by the hard rock fans that think they are "pure" listeners to the format. What do Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Nickelback all have in common? Massive mainstream success, massive album sales, and tons of hate spewed at them from hard rock listeners. Metallica? No mainstream crossover success (okay a little, but nothing on a large scale). The only band I know of that has managed to escape this is Guns and Roses and maybe, maybe Green Day.
What I'm impressed the most with so far, is that Nickelback's breakout success and mainstream crossover success happened FOUR albums ago, and they STILL are putting out good hard rock songs that are succeeding at the format. That amazes me.

If that wasn't the case they wouldn't have 7 going on 8 number ones on Active, and another half a dozen top tens. Idk, I think a lot of people legitimately don't like them. But if everyone either passionately loves or hates them, the controversy is only going to make them more popular. Stations would much rather play a divisive song than a song that everyone thinks is okay I would think. Then again, I'd think more active rock listeners would like "All Nightmare Long" and with more passion than this. We'll see how both songs fare over the next couple of months.

During the height of American Idiot, it seemed like every rock fan either loved Green Day or despised them, no in between. This was before I even knew Nickelback got any flack for anything. And I know GNR gets their share of hate as well. I really don't think there's a way to escape it.

Not sarcastic at all! Their album sales and song requests pretty much show how popular these guys are.

You say you don't follow the pop charts very much, and yet you talk about how loved Nickelback is. Whereas, the majority of their popularity comes from the pop world. Rock listeners are pretty much divided when it comes to them, but the ones that hate them REALLY hate them. I just find it odd that you haven't noticed this.

Britney Spears gets a lot of album sales and song requests but I guarantee you a lot of people hate her. I'd say h8ters (fuck you Pulse Forum I'll use the word if I want to) and lovers are divided pretty much equally.

I am not trying to be hard to figure. I was only responding to the post that said "hating Nickelback is the thing to do." I had not heard that one. It's not like they are Creed or Michael Jackson or something. They're the hugest band around in popularity in my opinion.

Creed and Michael Jackson were both the biggest acts around in popularity at their time too. Doesn't mean a lot of people didn't hate them.

So Artie randomly mentions MJ at 4 today and he's announced as dead by 5... I don't know, but I'd be really worried if I were Creed right about now.

Every time Artie posts, something dies. I guess this time it was accurate.

"Hero" normally is not listed as a Nickelback single, but it deserves a position on that list

Yeah, I guess I feel bad making the last ever Michael Jackson post anywhere while he was still living. I hope that does not haunt me for a while.

If today was your last day 5. Burn it to the ground Well, in the U.S., "I'd Come for You" hasn't been released. So, technically, they've released four singles and four videos so far. That said, I think it's a given that "I'd Come for You" will be the next pop single.
