Spicy Margarita with Jason Derulo and Michale Bublé
I cringed the first time I heard it, and it doesnât get any better with time.
That sounds like a nightmare duo for a song,

I remember from the Derulo duet with Meghan Trainor that she had to be autotuned to make him seem less shit for needing autotune.

No offence, but that is one of my favourite hits from 2001, along with âHanging by a Momentâ by Lifehouse and âHow You Remind Meâ by Nickelback.
I still hate those songs too

Yes that song is annoying! I donât mind 4BH playing some newer songs, as long as theyâre better than that one.

I canât understand the hate for Nickelback, to be honest. But from what I think, it only spurs them on to become so successful internationally.
In fact, there was a recent docu-movie (titled Hate to Love: Nickelback) that was released last year, which documents their rise to the top and the negativity theyâve faced in over a quarter of a century in the music industry.

Probably had a lot to do with how massive they were in 2000s, Like those albums had legs and would get singles being released from them for like 2 years after the album came out.

I like a few of their songs âToo Badâ is my favorite⊠And Chad Kroegers collaboration with Santana âWhy Donât You And Iâ.

Personally, I do like listening to Nickelback, even saw them live in Sydney in 2019.
Chad had another collaboration with Santana in 2007 titled âInto the Nightâ. Some people have mistaken that, plus that other collaboration you mentioned, for Nickelback songs, as Chadâs voice does stand out in both songs.
They havenât had a song chart in the ARIA Top 50 Singles chart since 2014, though all but one of their albums have charted in the top 10, with Here and Now the best of them (peaking at #1 in 2011).

A prime example of peaking too early, never released anything that good again

Another rock/metal band that got popular in the early 2000s (And late 90s) but was immensely hated by the mainstream rock media was Limp Bizkit, after their sophomore album âSignificant Otherâ got popular for all the wrong reasons which was exposure to piggybacking from KoRn during LBâs âThree Dollar Bill Yâallâ Period, MTV and their appearance at the infamous Woodstock 1999 festival. Limp Bizkit would go on to dominate the charts in 2000 with their third album âChocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Waterâ with the singles âTake A Look Around,â âMy Generation, Rollinâ (Air Raid Vehicle) and âMy Wayâ A lot of mainstream metal fanatics hated Limp Bizkit due to their aforementioned performance at Woodstock â99 and frontman Fred Durstâs ego. Limp Bizkit is still popular among fans who grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s period and their unexpected popularity following the release of the âTrainwreckâ Woodstock 1999 documentary on Netflix in 2022.

It descended into total chaos when Limp Bizkit performed at Woodstock.
That is more a reflection of rock musicâs decline in popularity, particularly on singles charts - I believe 2014 was also the last year that Foo Fighters had an ARIA Top 50 single.

Still on the topic of Nickelback, SZA (who is currently in Australia on an arena tour) went into bat for them and Creed recently.

I do like Creed, but their music is a bit one dimensional.

I donât think Iâve heard any new music from them since at least 2009 (when they released a song titled âRainâ in the final quarter of the year).
âWith Arms Wide Openâ and âMy Sacrificeâ are my favourites.
