From the Blog further down True but Funny,,,

14. Nickelback "All The Right Reasons"

Sales this week: 40,418
Cume: 4,832,709

Selling for all the right reasons. Because the music has changes, you can sing along to it, it’s what the public WANTS!

Young drinkers want the beat-influenced stuff, to try and get laid in the club. Most music fans want something with melody, and Nickelback has more melody than ANY hip-hop album.

So you hate the lead singer. So the music is second-rate. Compared to most of the stuff on this chart, Nickelback is GENIUS! Because rather than try to appear hip, and with it, they’re playing it straight down the middle, giving people what they want. - Fri, 9 Feb 2007 11:55pm
