The track has since cemented its place in streaming history, surpassing one billion streams on Spotify and earning Nickelback a coveted spot in the Spotify Billions Club.

Among their many accolades, Nickelback has been recognized as Billboard’s Top Rock Group of the Decade, earned nine Grammy Award nominations, and won three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, 12 Juno Awards, and seven MuchMusic Video Awards. They have been inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2007 and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2023.
