Hanna, Alberta, Canada (1995 – present)
Nickelback is a Canadian rock band from Hanna, Alberta, formed in 1995. Founded by members Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake and then-drummer Brandon Kroeger. Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold 30 million records worldwide. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and places as the 2nd best selling foreign act in the US behind The Beatles for the 2000s.
The band is now based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its name originates from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his Starbucks job, he would frequently say, “Here’s your nickel back”.
The band is signed to EMI in Canada and Roadrunner Records for the rest of the world. In July 2008, the band signed with Live Nation for three touring and album cycles, with an option for a fourth cycle. The contract includes recordings, touring, merchandise and other rights.
Early years: 1995–2000
Nickelback’s first release was a seven-track EP called Hesher in 1996. In the same year, Nickelback recorded their first full-length album Curb. “Fly” was released on Hesher and Curb and was the first single produced by Nickelback. It did not chart and was only played on local radio stations.
The following album The State was recorded in 1998 and was released as an independent record the same year. Nickelback signed a record deal with EMI and Roadrunner Records. The State was then re-released in 2000 by EMI and Roadrunner Records.

Eminem sold more than Nickelback this decade. Just sayin. You know, usually the best bands are the ones who don't sell as much. I like Nickelback cuz they're in it for the ART instead of the $$$, unlike shitty Eminem and the Beatles.

Record sales doesn't equate talent my friend. In fact, I think you'll find The Backstreet Boys are one of the highest selling artist of all time.
