* ChartDisplacement: Nickelback had ten Top 40 hits in the US: "How You Remind Me", "Someday", "Photograph", "Rockstar", "Far Away", "Savin' Me", "If Everyone Cared", "Gotta be Somebody", "If Today Was Your Last Day" and... "Burn It to the Ground"? Maybe "When We Stand Together"? Well wrong, none of these two songs actually reached the Top 40 (with "Burn It to the Ground" not even charting on the Hot 100 for that matter), instead their tenth top 40 hit was actually "This Afternoon" which despite peaking at #34 is nowhere near as remembered the other tracks mentioned.
