The band’s latest single, “Rattle the Cage,” featuring Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5, has reached the top of the Active Rock radio chart, according to Live Nation.

The achievement adds momentum to a band whose early-2000s hits, including “How You Remind Me,” “Photograph,” and “Rockstar,” helped make Nickelback a household name.

Frontman Chad Kroeger described the new album’s range in a July interview statement reported by NME.

“This album has every side of the band on it,” Kroeger said. “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.”
