In the world of rock 'n roll, they don't come any bigger than Nickelback.
The boys from Hanna, Alberta are one of the biggest bands in the world, selling more than thirty million records, and dominating radio playlists.
In all, Nickelback has released seven studio albums, and has had lots of number one singles, starting with 'How You Remind Me'. That song, by the way, hit number one on the Canadian and US charts at the same time, joining The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive as the only Canadian bands to do that.
Oh, and Nickelback has also been named group of the decade by Billboard Magazine.
These days, the guys are doing more than just making music. They're giving back. They're involved with The Obakki Foundation, a charity that supports humanitarian work in the developing world - building schools, health centres, and water purification projects, with a special emphasis on thoughts, ideas, fashion and art.
