Nickelback
The Canadian band's newest album debuts at No. 10 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart this week.
Nickelback has scored their latest top 10 project in Canada.
The Canadian rock group’s 11th studio album, Everything Under The Sun, debuts at No. 10 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, dated Nov. 14.
For many fans, it's a return to form for the rockers, leaning into their classic hard rock sound while creating emotionally expansive tracks.
“This album has every side of the band on it,” frontman Chad Kroeger says. “There are songs that hit as hard as anything we've ever done, songs that take chances, and songs that remind us why we've been doing this together for so long.”
Everything Under The Sun has already birthed multiple hits for the longstanding rock band, one of the most popular ever to come from Canada, including their WrestleMania hit “Bones for the Crows” and “Rattle the Cage” featuring guitarist John 5. The latter track afforded the collaborators their first No. 1 on U.S. radio in over a decade, and marked their second No. 1 hit on the Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in 2026.
It marks the band’s ninth top 10 album in their home country, following up 2022’s Get Rollin’, which reached No. 4 on the Canadian Albums chart. Here are all nine, dating back to their first No. 1, 2001's Silver Side Up, which spawned their signature hit "How You Remind Me?"
Peak Position, Weeks at No. 1 (if applicable), Title, Peak Date
As their new album debuts in the top 10, Nickelback's greatest hits, The Best Of Nickelback: Volume 1, is also surging. This week, it moves from No. 70 all the way up to No. 14, only three spots from its No. 11 peak, which the album reached in 2024.
Olivia Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love has notched a fifth non-consecutive week at No. 1. The pop singer is officially five weeks away from tying with her debut album, 2021’s Sour, for the most weeks spent atop the chart. Sour spent 10 weeks at No. 1, a major feat for an artist’s debut album.
This week, all three of her albums are on the chart. Sour sits at No. 31, while 2023’s Guts claims No. 38.
On the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, Rodrigo’s entries are led by “Stupid Song,” at No. 8, followed by “Expectations,” feat. Chappell Roan at No. 14, “The Cure” at No. 24 and “Cigarette Smoke,” which climbs two spots to No. 71.
Rodrigo’s Canadian chart dominance comes a couple of weeks after she performed in Montreal and Toronto, playing two sold-out shows in each city. But she’s not quite done with her time in Canada — she’s scheduled to play two nights in Vancouver on Dec. 1 and 2.
While Rodrigo’s you seem pretty sad sits at the top, Noah Kahan’s The Great Divide might be vying for that No. 1 spot, rising 3-2. The folk singer-songwriter hit the peak of the chart earlier this year with his latest album, the follow-up to 2022’s top 10 mainstay, Stick Season.
Previously, The Great Divide spent nine non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, one week longer than Stick Season’s eight weeks. Kahan scores one entry on this week’s Canadian Hot 100 with “Draw You Out” at No. 64.
