Online, the album is the 25th highest selling record ever, having sold 2.8 million individual tracks to date. The videos for the singles have charted as well, consistently ascending to the top of the VH1 playlists and most requested video chart. The continued growth of Nickelback is a success story built on the road, on the radio and, above all things, by great rock songs.

The album also earned the band 3 Grammy nominations, 6 Radio Music Award nominations, and 1 American Music Award nomination. Nickelback's previous album, Silver Side Up, was an instant smash upon release in 2001, spawning three No. 1 hit singles including "How You Remind Me," "Too Bad" and "Never Again."
