Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake of Nickelback join us for another Jam or Not a Jam!

Nickelback formed in the mid-'90s in Hanna, Alta., first as a cover band called Village Idiot. In 1996, Kroeger and bandmate Ryan Peake joined Kroeger's brother, Mike, in Vancouver, where the band currently resides. Today's lineup includes both Kroegers, Peake and Daniel Adair. While the band signed to EMI in 1999, it was its third album, 2001's Silver Side Up, that took off thanks to the hit lead single "How You Remind Me." The band has since become one of the bestselling acts to ever come out of Canada, selling more than 50 million albums worldwide and hitting more than 4.7 billion streams globally. At the end of the aughts, Billboard named Nickelback the top rock group of the decade. The bandwill release its 10th album, Get Rollin', on Nov. 18.

Nickelback won its first Juno Award in 2001 for best new group, and has since won 11 more over the last 20 years. The band's performance at its Hall of Fame induction in Edmonton will be Nickelback's sixth Junos performance to date. Previous Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees include Deborah Cox, Alanis Morissette, Barenaked Ladies, Joni Mitchell, Oscar Peterson and Rush.
