Press Release
NICKELBACK�s �How You Remind Me� continues to explode at rock radio as it races up Billboard and Radio & Records� rock charts to the #1 slot and racks up more and more listeners every week.
�How You Remind Me,� the first single from their SILVER SIDE UP sophomore album (which came out September 11 on Roadrunner/Island Def Jam), has quickly found itself atop Billboard�s �Mainstream Rock Tracks� chart after only eight weeks, bumping out Staind, who held the #1 slot for 20 weeks. The single is receiving over 2,100 spins on 96 rock stations across the US.
The song also jumps to #1 on Billboard�s �Modern Rock Tracks� chart, generating over 2,600 spins on 78 modern rock radio stations across the country, with 244 newly-added spins.
In addition, Billboard�s �Active Rock Tracks� chart has the song bulleted at #4 this week, and it�s #3 on the �Heritage Rock Tracks� chart. The song is also soaring up Billboard�s �Hot 100� chart, where it currently sits bulleted at #64 this week (it debuted at #75 last week). Between all the different rock Billboard-reporting formats, �How You Remind Me� is currently being heard by over 25 million listeners.
And the impressive chart and airplay success doesn�t end there. According to Radio & Records, �How You Remind Me� is #3 on their �Active Rock� chart, #2 on the �Rock� chart and #2 on the �Alternative� chart. This means that according to R&R-reporting stations, the song is being heard by over 44 million people in addition to the Billboard-reporting stations.
On the video front, the Brothers Strause-directed clip is in heavy rotation on MTV, MTV2 and MTVx. VH1 added the video last week and will be airing the video during their nightly �Rock Show� program.
The album�s critical praise is starting to emerge as well. As described on E! Online: �NICKELBACK�s second album delivers grande-size, Zeppelin-esque guitar anthems (�Hollywood,� �Hangnail�) and ragged pop (�Money Bought�) tempered by the odd emotion-wracked power ballad (�How You Remind Me�) that�ll keep the Zippos busy come show time.�
Amazon.com proclaims: �The post-grunge, alt-metal combo backing these songs (�Never Again,� �How You Remind Me,� �Woke Up This Morning�) packs as strong a punch as the lyrical material, going hard with lots of hooks. The additional slide guitar on �Hangnail� and sludgy, alt-metal riffs on �Hollywood,� �Money Bought,� and �Where Do I Hide� add a little meat to the alt-rock bones on SILVER, elevating Nickelback above the heap of copycat rockers clogging their airwaves.�
