10 Best Nickelback Songs

Fusing post-grunge and alternative-rock into a slew of power ballads and rock anthems, Chad Kroeger and the three other members of Canadian outfit Nickelback have got it – having already sold over 30 million records worldwide and regarded as the No. 2 best selling foreign act of this decade (after the Beatles). Now an American radio staple, the best-selling arena rockers have found fans far from home. Here's the 10 Best Nickelback Songs, as rated by AOL Radio listeners.

iTunes | Lyrics

'Someday'

Nickelback

The song -- like other Nickelback hits -- depicts a failing relationship as the man tells his love: "Someday, somehow / Gonna make it allright but not right now." The music video shows a woman crying over the loss of her love, but the woman's fate is played out differently on the iTunes video release (as opposed to the original) -- for she walks away from the accident alive and unharmed instead of a ghost of her.

'How You Remind Me'

Nickelback

According to Billboard, this Nickelback song was the most-played track of 2002 -- and went on to win a Juno Award for Best Single of the Year in 2002 and a Grammy nomination in 2003 for Record of the Year.
