30 years ago, Nickelback introduced itself to the world with its debut album Curb. While that project only managed to conjure up minimal commercial impact, it did set the hard rockers up for future success. It wasn’t long before Silver Side Up changed everything, turning Nickelback into the hottest new thing and certified hitmakers.
Decades later, the group does not maintain the same position in the music industry that it once did, but there are still countless dedicated fans that are excited for its next chapter. Nickelback recently dropped “Bones for the Crows,” a brand new single that kicks off in some impressive positions on the Billboard charts. The tune even earns the Canadian rock outfit its first No. 1 on a tally it has never ruled before.
Nickelback’s “Bones for the Crows” Debuts at No. 1
“Bones for the Crows” opens at No. 1 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, which details the bestselling rock tracks throughout the U.S. on platforms like iTunes. Nickelback has now scored 29 wins on the tally, 14 of which have hit the top 10 – but until now, none of them had reached the summit.
“Bones for the Crows” beats three Nickelback tunes that stalled in the runner-up space on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart. “Rockstar,” “This Afternoon,” and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” with Dave Martone all missed out on ruling by just one slot.
Nickelback Scores a Second No. 1 on the Alternative List
Over on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart – which is composed in exactly the same manner as the Rock Digital Song Sales ranking, with one genre swapped in for another… though there is plenty of crossover – Nickelback doubles its No. 1s. “Bones for the Crows” joins “Rockstar,” which opened on the Alternative Digital Song Sales tally in December 2011 but had to wait nearly a dozen years before finally giving the Grammy-nominated act its first leader. “Bones for the Crows” also marks a milestone tenth top 10 for the band.
Nickelback Counts Half a Dozen Rulers on Another Tally
Nickelback has proved far more successful on a third purchase-only ranking. “Bones for the Crows” debuts on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales roster, and the group scores its sixth winner. Previously, the troupe has dominated with “Rockstar,” “What Are You Waiting For?,” “Bottoms Up,” “Edge of a Revolution,” and “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” with Dave Martone. 19 of the band’s 25 charting tracks have spent at least one frame inside the top 10.
“Bones for the Crows” Misses the Hot Hard Rock No. 1
“Bones for the Crows” is clearly a top seller, but when it comes to general consumption, the cut doesn’t manage to rule any roost. Nickelback’s latest performs best on the Hot Hard Rock Songs ranking, which is built with streaming, sales, and radio airplay data. On that tally, “Bones for the Crows” misses out on doubling Nickelback’s No. 1 count by just one space, as it enters at No. 2.
Singer Maphra blocks Nickelback from the highest space, as her cover of “Doomed” by Bring Me the Horizon holds at No. 1. Of Nickelback’s half dozen placements on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, all but one cut has broken into the uppermost region. Earlier this year, the group joined Don Broco on “Nightmare Tripping,” which launched at No. 24 and then immediately slipped away.
Nickelback’s New Single Debuts on Multiple Charts
“Bones for the Crows” performed well enough during its initial tracking period that it also settles onto two much more competitive Billboard rosters. Nickelback’s most recent drop starts at No. 20 on the Digital Song Sales chart, thanks to a little less than 2,100 purchases (according to Luminate). The same single is also new to the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs list, where it begins its time at No. 44.
