Nickelback storm the charts

Canadian rockers Nickelback are celebrating this week as their latest single, Rockstar, has climbed the British singles charts to number 3 making it Nickelback's biggest UK single to date.

The track, which features a whole host of celebrity guests in the video, has been in the British charts for a staggering 11 weeks and its latest placing makes it even bigger than their 2002 hit, How You Remind Me, which reached number 4 six years ago.

In related news, the band's latest album, All The Right Reasons, shot up from number 41 to number 10 in this week's official UK album chart.

Oh, look!

Another unneccessary comment on MCR in an article that does not even relate to them. Give it ten years. If they are still around they "MIGHT" be as big as Green Day! But oh wait...crowd following bastards hate them too! P.S Rockstar is annoyingly catchy!

The video for this is dreadfully bad, someone should punch chad kroeger in the face/throat for releasing this shit on the world. i still havent forgiven them for the equally dire and awful "how you remind me"

nickleback = most boring band in the world.

Rockstar

Nickelback are possibly one of the most boring bands in the world. They are so 'middle of the road' its unreal. People who like Nickelback also like Bryan Adams, fact. The term 'Dad rock' was invented for them. A very bland and uninspiring band. If they were a colour it would be beige.

Who gives a flying fuck about the UK charts or fucking Nickelback.!!...if you like either of them...stop pretending and fuck off and buy 'smash hits'...not 'Kerrang'!!
Tho, these days it seems Kerrang is fucking 'smash hits'! Im boycotting 'Kerrang', its so bad now it makes me sad. 'Rock Sound' is much better, fuck...even 'Metal hammer' rocks compared to this drivel!!!

Most of the people posting comments on this story are so full of shit! Jealousy gets you no where. I take it you all have written multi million selling albums and hit singles in your life and are living out your dreams doing a job you love. No?......thought not. Until then keep your childish thoughts to yourselves MUPPETS!

I refer you to a post I made on another band:-

'So I can't slag a band until I have matched their record sales. Freedom of speech is based on personal success and profitability now?

Or I can't slag a film for being crap because I'm not an actor? Or a worthless politician because I am not an MP?

A stupid argument.'

I guess YOU must be buying all the Nickelback CD's as you are the one who's put out by these comments - MUPPET!
