Nickelback - Shakin Hands

[(Artie Ziff)]

Born In The U.S.A. had eight chart on rock. I'm not sure about anything else.

[Matt4319]

"S.E.X." should have been a single.

I know there were seven official singles from the album, but I believe the eighth received unsolicited airplay and charted (John Mellencamp had quite a lot of non-singles chart from unsolicited airplay from the mid-80's through the early 90's as well)

Theory Of A Deadman just might release another single from their third album, who knows?

Assuming we're not limiting this to just rock, I remember hearing that Shania Twain released ten songs from Come On Over. Couldn't tell you what they all were though.

[(Artie Ziff)]

I was wrong. Born In The U.S.A. had nine top 40 hits on rock. Beginning with Dancing In The Dark at #1 and ending with My Hometown at #6 peak. Springsteen also charted with Pink Cadillac, We Are The World, and Stand On It in between the nine U.S.A. hits. Mellencamp had two album with seven top 40 hits. But nine will be tough to beat. Still checking the Whitburn books though!

Actually, she released a dozen singles that era.

Ever more spectacular is that all eleven singles she released to Canadian Country radio that era went Top Five (seven of which went to #1)

Whitburn shows 11 Twain songs making the C&W chart. But I assumed we were talking Rock also.

[American Idiot]

Not on all one format, but I counted eight singles from Daughtry's self-titled album out of eleven tracks.

[Jorge_Str [Som3on3]]

Daughtry's self-titled album singles

It's Not Over
Home
What I Want
Crashed
Over You
Feels Like Tonight
What About Now

which song is the eighth single?

[Matt4319]

I think "Feels Like the First Time" got a video, but it wasn't really a single.

You're right. I miscounted. There's only seven.

[My Life Is A Stereo]

Springsteen had nine from Born in the USA on rock

Dancing in The Dark - #1 6 weeks - 17 on chart
No Surrender - #29 - 16 on chart
Cover Me - #2 - 21 on chart
Born In The USA - #8 - 20 on chart
Bobby Jean - #36 - 9 on chart
I'm On Fire - #4 - 14 on chart
Glory Days - #3 - 14 on chart
I'm Going Home - #9 - 9 on chart
My Hometown - #6 - 9 on chart

He also had the b-side to Glory Days chart at number 32 with 8 weeks on and Pink Cadillac as the b-side to Dancing In The Dark at 27 with 14 weeks on.

I know Artie summarized some of these but when you see these numbers it's hard to not say this was one of the most prolific and dominant eras for a rock album and I lived through it at about 12 years old. It was Brucemania that year.

Again, I don't think either "No Surrender" or "Bobby Jean" were released as singles though. They just charted from unsolicited airplay.

It was quite common for artists popular at the time to chart well on that radio format with non-singles.

[aTunes]

NOOOOOOO! They had to release Just To Get High next. >:( Releasing this after SIYM and BITTG is cock rock overkill.

[Nicholas2.0]

Michael Jackson's Bad and Dangerous both had 7-9 singles (depending on if you count international singles).

Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation had 8.

The Dixie Chicks' Fly had at least 8.

[lockebox]

Once "Never Gonna Be Alone" and "Shakin' Hands" conclude on pop and rock respectively. An all format release of "This Afternoon" could well round off the era.

[(Artie Ziff)]

I don't care for This Afternoon so much. But S.E.X. would do well. If anyone can chart nine singles like The Boss, Nickelback is about the only artist that can do it.

[jvandyck87]

I think there are other bands that could do it, they just choose not to. And in the case of Dark Horse, Nickelback has moved through their singles quite quickly as no songs have had remarkable longevity. I imagine if Three Days Grace released 7 singles to alternative/active radio, they would all chart.

[onefrayedrepublic]

Perhaps, Nickelback's next album should be entitled, Nickelback's Greatest Hits: 2010-2011 Edition.

i hate when every artist after 4-5 successful albums is moving to a "best of" release, for me the definition of such a release, is to make only once, and only right after the band complete its entire activity, that way the release will be accurate and complete

instead of this, most of artists release a best of album right after they feel like they are loosing ground

I agree, the GH album is usually used far too frequently, but I don't necessarily have anything against more than one GH album per artist. Some artists churn out too many hits to wait until the end of their career to put out a compilation. I think a GH album for Nickelback would be very appropriate at this point. They have 20+ legit hits across various formats under their belt now, so I think that's enough to warrant their first GH album.

[jvandyck87]

What would the put on/exclude from a GH package? I like it when artists put something from every album, so I would like Curb and The State to get some representation. While my favorite single of their career "Because Of You" was a fairly big active rock hit, they probably ought to leave it off their greatest hits package. If they put 20 songs on there, I would have it look something like this:

Curb: Little Friend
The State: Leader Of Men, Breathe
Silver Side Up: How You Remind Me, Too Bad
The Long Road: Someday, Figured You Out, Feelin' Way Too Damn Good
All The Right Reasons: Photograph, Animals, Savin' Me, Rockstar, Far Away, If Everyone Cared
Dark Horse: Gotta Be Somebody, Something In Your Mouth, If Today Was Your Last Day, Burn It To The Ground and perhaps more if they do well enough.

That would either leave room for non-Nickelback songs like "Hero," "Why Don't You and I," and "Into The Night" if Chad Kroeger has the rights to those; or they could put two new singles on the package. Or they could include singles I left off such as "Old Enough," "Never Again," "Because Of You," "Side Of A Bullet," or more new stuff off Dark Horse.

[(Artie Ziff)]

Trust me, the first Nickelback hits package will not be a single disc. While probably half of their fans have never heard Animals, Too Bad, or Something In Your Mouth, it would be a sin to leave those monster hits. And the other half that absolutely hated How You Remind Me, Far Away, Gotta Be Somebody, and If Today Was Your Last Day would even admit they were big enough on CHR to warrant inclusion. We will see a double disc between Dark Horse and the next CD. I'd even make it a triple disc including a live DVD.

[aTunes]

It would need to be a 2 disc set, I would do it:

Disc 1:
1. New song

From Curb:
2. Fly

From The State:
3. Leader of Men
4. Breathe

From Silver Side Up:
5. How You Remind Me
6. Too Bad
7. Never Again
8. Hero (was included on some versions of the album)

From The Long Road
9. Someday
10. Figured You Out
11. Feelin' Way Too Damn Good
12. Because of You

Santana featuring Chad Kroeger Bonus Tracks:
13. Why Don't You and I
14. Into the Night

Disc 2:
1. New song

From All the Right Reasons
2. Photograph
3. Animals
4. Savin' Me
5. Far Away
6. If Everyone Cared
7. Rockstar

From Dark Horse:
8. Gotta Be Somebody
9. Something In Your Mouth
10. If Today Was Your Last Day
11. Burn it to the Ground
12. Never Gonna Be Alone
13. Shakin' Hands
14. possible future Dark Horse single

[Jorge_Str [Som3on3]]

their GH album, has to be something really special

[singingsparrow]

I wouldn't be surprised if they ignored "The State" and "Curb" altogether when they do get around to compiling their first greatest hits collection.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ignored Curb since most people probably don't know about it, but I would be really surprised if they ignored The State. "Leader Of Men" and "Breathe" were their first radio hits. Of course they weren't nearly as big as "How You Remind Me", but I think that their success were stepping stones to Nickelback's eventual breakout across the board. To deny their inclusion would be ridiculous.

Many bands that didn't break through into the Mainstream Top 40 at the onset of their recording careers have nonetheless omitted earlier singles from their greatest hits collections.

The Goo Goo Dolls completely ignored the first decade of their recording career on their singles collection, despite "We Are The Normal" being a Top 5 Modern Rock hit for them.

I think there's a fair likelihood Nickelback will do likewise and release a single-disc greatest hits collection with about 16 tracks (even though they're obviously capable of a double-CD collection)

Sincerely,
Lisping Hibiscus

[pen]

The flaw in your example is that the Goo Goo Dolls had already released a collection prior to that showcasing their work over the years and "We Are The Normal" was featured on that set. It was called Ego, Opinion, Art, & Commerce. Therefore there was really no point in including it on the hits collection.

I see your point, but I think "Leader Of Men" at the very least was a far more substantial defining hit for Nickelback than "We Are The Normal" was for Goo Goo Dolls.
