Nickleback have had unbroken success this past four years with ever increasing sales, Now they return with ‘Dark Horse’ (
album review) the most anticipated rock album of the year. (videos in article) Produced with Robert 'Mutt' Lange (AC/DC & Def Leppard), the album is 11 tracks of choruses that stick in your ears after the first listen and hooks so big they boomerang through the songs. ‘Dark Horse’ traverses a wide terrain, from the heavy riffs of ‘The Next Go Round’, to the stunning balladry of ‘Never Gonna Be Alone’ and the arcing melody of lead single ‘Gotta Be Somebody’ – which is already huge at UK Radio with playlist support from BBC Radio 1 ‘A List’, Capital FM ‘A List’, Absolute Radio ‘B List’ and BBC Radio 2 ‘B List’ and pretty much every ILR nationwide.
Having once again dominated the UK album charts for most of 2008 and recently returned to these shores for a full sold out UK Arena Tour, Nickelback’s new offering ‘Dark Horse’ is set to once again re-affirm the band in the hearts of the UK (and worldwide) public and storm into the charts globally this Christmas.
With over 26 Million album sales in their career to date and more global airplay hits than you can wave a stick at, their last album ‘All The Right Reasons’ was one of the most successful albums of the century and ensured Nickelback an indelible place in rock history; with more than 11 million sales of it worldwide, enormous hit singles ‘Rockstar’, ‘Photograph’ & ‘Far Away’, and over a million ticket sales.
