But he also recognized it was time for more Nickelback music in the marketplace. In his first interview about the new album, Kroeger - who started working with Lange (вЂњThe dude is my hero,вЂќ he says) on вЂњDark HorseвЂќ in March in Switzerland - acknowledges that he вЂњwouldвЂ™ve liked a longer breakвЂќ for himself. ItвЂ™s become such a monster to try to put our arms around, weвЂ™re just doing the best we can to guide it into fruition at this point.вЂќ вЂњThatвЂ™s got to be a seriously positive sign going into a new one. вЂњWeвЂ™ve never left the previous album cycle,вЂќ Roadrunner president Jonas Nachsin says.

вЂњAll the Right ReasonsвЂќ also took off in a big way this summer in Europe, meaning Kroeger and his bandmates-brother and bassist Mike Kroeger, guitarist Ryan Peake and drummer Daniel Adair-were multitasking across two continents as they recorded вЂњDark HorseвЂќ and promoted its predecessor. 11 after a 156-week run, the longest registered in 11 years. 1 videos-and apparently unaffected by widespread critical drubbing-вЂњAll the Right ReasonsвЂќ has sold 10 million copies worldwide, according to Roadrunner, and spent a staggering 110 consecutive weeks in the top 30 of the Billboard 200. Buoyed by seven multiformat hit singles and five No.

18 on Roadrunner and was co-produced by Mutt Lange, certainly has a target to clear. So for us, the bar has been raised ridiculously high.вЂќ WeвЂ™ve got to try and put something out now thatвЂ™s going to stand up to that. вЂњNo, because look what we have to try to live up to,вЂќ says Kroeger, who co-founded the quartet in 1995 in Alberta, Canada. Chad Kroeger laughs when asked if the phenomenal sales for 2005вЂ™s вЂњAll the Right ReasonsвЂќ gave confidence to Nickelback as it set out to make its sixth studio album, вЂњDark Horse.вЂќ
