Description
By 2005, Nickelback could already lay claim to being one of the most ubiquitous bands in the world.
Having already achieved unbelievable success with Hits like “How You Remind Me” “Too Bad” and “Someday”, Nickelback had long crossed over from being a little band from Hanna, Alberta into bonafide global Rock Stars.
Armed with earnest lyrics, catchy melodies, and of course the aforementioned heartstring-tugging video - it’s no surprise that Photograph was a smash success.
Photograph topped the Mainstream Rock charts, The Hot 100 charts, it went double platinum in America, and remained number one in Canada for 7 weeks.
But it would be dishonest to say that the band was without a legion of critics and naysayers.
Join Myles Galloway as he tells the story of 'Photograph' and hear from the band themselves as they give their thoughts on the song that immortalized them in music and memes forever.
