Nickelback Reaches One Billboard Chart For The First Time As Consumption Grows
Nickelback has been together for three decades now, and during that time, the Canadian band has released many well-known radio staples, topped the Billboard charts with albums and singles, and built a loyal fan base that continues to stream the group's biggest hits in massive numbers. That sustained popularity and consumption brings the rockers to a Billboard chart that they had somehow never reached before.
The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 debuts on Billboard's Top Streaming Albums chart this week. The set gets its start at No. 47. It marks Nickelback's first appearance on the streaming-focused ranking, which lists the full-lengths that earn the most plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music each tracking span.
The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 is one of just three new arrivals on the Top Streaming Albums chart this week. Of those debuts, it comes in with the lowest placement, though, appearing anywhere on the list is a notable accomplishment for the Grammy nominees.
At the top of the tally this frame is Music by Playboi Carti, which takes over the No. 1 spot. Elsewhere, Vibras de Noche II by Eslabon Armado opens at No. 24, landing firmly in the middle of the roster.
The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 may be brand new to the Top Streaming Albums tally, but it's maintained its presence on several other Billboard rankings for years now. It currently appears on five additional charts, and it's on the rise on many of them.
Across those various lists, the title has earned hundreds of stays, and in most cases, it has climbed into the top tiers. This week is no different, as the compilation continues to overperform on nearly every tally on which it appears.
The band's compilation narrowly misses out on another big win this week, as it nearly returns to No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. Instead, it's forced to settle for second place once more. The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 comes in at No. 2, just behind The Father of Make Believe by Coheed and Cambria, which debuts at No. 1.
The full-length also lives inside the top 10 on multiple other lists, as it appears at No. 5 on the Top Alternative Albums chart, No. 8 on the Top Rock Albums ranking, and No. 9 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster. It returns to the highest tier on the latter two simultaneously.
On the Billboard 200, the all-genre ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.S., Nickelback's project pushes forward again, rising from No. 59 to No. 54.
