Nickelback gets teased a lot as a band, as the group's name has become synonymous with a past era in music — but that doesn't mean the rock outfit isn't still hugely successful. The group has produced enough massive rock hits that The Best of Nickelback: Volume 1 continues to thrive on the Billboard charts frame after frame. This week, the compilation climbs on every tally on which it appears, and the rockers even reach new peaks on multiple lists at the same time.
The Best of Nickelback hits a new lifetime high point on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Streaming Albums charts this week. It ascends from No. 9 to No. 6 on the former, which tracks the most consumed rock releases in the U.S. The project lands in that position 237 weeks into its tenure on the ranking, which is remarkable, as it's not common for a set to reach new highs after so many years on one list.
The compilation is also gaining ground on platforms like Spotify, which fuels its jump into the top 40 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. On that tally, The Best of Nickelback pushes to No. 38, which also marks a new best placement. The collection has only spent nine weeks on Billboard's ranking of the most streamed albums in the U.S., regardless of genre.
While Nickelback's compilation currently rises higher than ever before, it still stands as the band's lowest-peaking title on the Top Rock Albums chart. The group has scored four No. 1s, and two additional top fives. The Best of Nickelback does claim the honor of being the Canadian outfit's longest-running win, though, by 100 weeks.
The group does score a new career-best placement on the Top Streaming Albums chart this frame, as The Best of Nickelback is the only project from the band to appear on that tally.
The Best of Nickelback also returns to its previously-set high on both the Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts at the same time it reaches higher than ever on the previous two rosters. This frame, the collection ascends to Nos. 4 and 7 on those rankings, respectively.
The same hit-packed project, which was released in 2013 and features smashes like "How You Remind Me," "Rockstar," and "Someday," nearly reconquers the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, but instead, it holds at No. 2. It also lifts one spot to No. 48 on the Billboard 200, as it approaches 250 weeks on that all-encompassing tally of the most consumed albums of any length, language, or style in the U.S.
