Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger. While largely a rock band, the group
has also experimented with various other musical styles such as popand country, aside from
their hard rock and post-grunge base. Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful
Canadian groups, having sold over 35 million albums worldwide.[2] Nickelback ranks as the 11th
best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The
Beatles for the 2000s.[3] In December 2009, Nickelback were ranked 7th on Billboard Magazine's list
of "Artists of the Decade" - both the highest-ranked band and the highest-ranked rock artist in the
list.[4] Billboard Magazine also named Nickelback as the Adult Pop Artist of the decade.[5] The band
[6]
has sold 21,000,000 album copies in the U.S.

The band is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its name originates from the nickel in
change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would
frequently say, "Here's your nickel back."[7]
