Bad news Nickelback haters: the rock band so many love to hate has been named the group of the decade by Billboard magazine.

Billboard has released a list of the top music stars of the 2000s based on chart success, and Canada's Nickelback was the top group or duo, ranking No. 7 overall.

The list was compiled by tabulating the rankings on the Billboard top 200 albums and the Billboard Hot 100 songs lists from Dec. 4, 1999 to Nov. 28, 2009.

The list was topped by rapper Eminem, followed by Usher, Nelly, Beyoncé and Alicia Keys.

Nickelback's “How You Remind Me” was also named the top rock song of the decade, and was No. 4 on the Top 10 songs of the 2000s list.

The much-maligned rock band also had five other Top 10 singles in the 2000s, and its last four albums all cracked the Top 10 of Billboard's album charts.

The 2005 CD All the Right Reasons , with the hits Rockstar and Photograph , spent 156 weeks on Billboard's top-selling albums list.

I thought the decade ends officially in 2010?

I didn't know that sounding like every other crappy band on the crappy radio would garner such a title... Wow! Well... I still think they are horrible and pretty talentless for the most part with their 4-chord bs sound... But I guess I am the one who is crazy!

Everybody knows that Coldplay was the real band of the decade.

Sorry. It's sometimes fun to cause the car wreck just so you can watch it.

Like them or not, they have marketed themselves brilliantly and craft their music in such a fashion to as to appeal to the largest possible audience.

I think Nickelback is awesome. They are pretty much my favourite group.

[HotHotHeat]

Americans: "This is the best rock song from the last 10 years!"

I HIGHLY doubt that THEY did any marketing at all actually... They are just music puppets... "Appealing" to our herds of Sheep-le...

hahahaha, nickelback, the group where every song sounds the same. Awful.

[Shazam]

9/11? Tsunamis? Global warming? Recessions?

No, what made this decade awful was Nickelback.

Huh. I guess all you need to do to be succesful these days is write a bunch of grade 12 grad songs. Who knew?

If your songs are played by Don, Joanne and the Coach, you have succeeded as a product, and failed as an artist.
