NICKELBACK'S "IF EVERYONE CARED" HITS #1; BAND ANNOUNCES SUMMER TOUR DATES

Nickelback

"If Everyone Cared," the latest single from Nickelback's five-times platinum album All The Right Reasons, reached # 1 on last week's Hot A/C chart, making it the sixth consecutive single from the album to reach #1. An unprecedented feat, all singles from All The Right Reasons have reached #1 at various formats: "Photograph," "Animals," "Savin' Me," "Rock Star," "Far Away" and most recently "If Everyone Cared." A #1 debut on the Billboard Top 200 in October 2005, All The Right Reasons has now produced four Hot A/C #1 hits, a success achieved only by Matchbox Twenty, according to Nielsen BDS.

On January 29th, Nickelback announced a charity initiative that has the band, along with Roadrunner Records, WEA Corp. and Warner Chappell donating 100% of the proceeds from the digital sales of the single and video for "If Everyone Cared" to charity. Since the single's February release, the band has raised $500,000 for Amnesty International and International Children's Awareness Canada. Now, just halfway through the campaign, YouTube is reporting 1,000,000 streams of the track, while the single has been downloaded over 500,000 times.

Hot off the heels of a sold-out North American spring arena tour, the band has announced new summer tour dates. Kicking off on June 28 in St. Johns, NF, the routing takes the band through Canada to the Northeast and Midwest states, ending in Alberta on July 30.
