Noticed today this was making nice strides on the Hot 100. Anything in particular fueling this run?

^^^^^^ Visual gags, a new standard of hatred for Nickelback haters.

That's how many I plan to attend also. But I doubt that's the same as disliking the band.

Astute observation! An even closer look reveals that April is placed after May and June. ??? That petty graph = Fail

LOL, resorting back to the Portugal video is very lame these days.

that is a way for haters to break at Nickelback, i really feel sorry about them guys is simple, if u don't like them, just don't listen to them...finding ways to show your hate, make you look like you care about Nickelback

I think most people hate Nickelback just to blindly follow the crowd, it's the "cool" thing to do. I have yet to find a criticism for Nickelback that couldn't be applied to millions of other bands.

Not only do May & June come before April, but now Portugal is in South America!

I know, huh? I heard "This Afternoon" and "Shakin' Hands" back to back and couldn't tell them apart. Then I heard "Side of a Bullet" and "Far Away" and couldn't tell which was which. oddly, i will admit that their clone (theory of a deadman) has a half-dozen songs i don't mind. go figure. I fail to see how a band who is responsible for lyrics such as "my boss is a dick" and "my girlfriend is a dick magnet" offends you less than Nickelback, but to each their own.

Well I hate CHR music myself. But I'm not going to waste time finding ways to discuss it or put it down. That seems totally backwards to me. I thought Three Days Grace was the Nickelback B-version clone anyway??

One thing I don't understand is how Nickelback gets all the flack over other similiar bands when they're actually one of the best bands of their kind.

I don't think they take any more than any other commercially successful band. I guess being the most popular is going to get you attention both ways.

One thing I don't understand is how Nickelback gets all the flack over other similiar bands when they're actually one of the best bands of their kind. Success breeds hate. It actually cracks me up that people will waste so much time hating because it means a) they took the time to listen to the music, just to hate it more or b) they've never heard it and hate it just because it's the thing to do. Personally, if I don't like a band, they just fall off my radar, I could care less if they are successful or not but I'm damn sure not going to waste my time hating them for any reason. The only time I bother to say anything negative is when a band that I do like produces something that doesn't gel with me but that doesn't make me hate them, I know I'm not going to love everything a band releases. Puddle of Mudd I'm looking at you this era. Nickelback for me is completely a singles band, I like some and I don't like others but I'm not ever really interested in the album as a whole. I love when people talk as if their opinion is THE opinion. It's great to share your feelings but I don't understand why anyone presents them as fact, especially in something as subjective as music. People have different tastes even in the same genre of music.

People have different tastes even in the same genre of music. So what do I have to qualify everything with IMO or something Of course I know it isn't fact, there are probably several people who love Nickelback and don't love The Exies as much, etc. But I'm not going to pretend that having a strong opinion is bad. Can we leave it at that for once?

It's not the opinion that's the issue. Nobody really cares about anyone's opinions but their own. I think he was asking why waste your time looking for lame graphs and making envious comments.

I understand. I rarely look at the left column and just respond to the posts. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

Can we leave it at that for once? So what, now we can't enjoy both Nickelback and The Exies? I've heard a good chunk of their songs and find them quite good.
