I don’t know if we’ll be hearing Nickelback on country radio regularly in the future, but this song does seem like it could find a place on the country singles charts this summer. Just as Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker have found success in country music, Nickelback has a song with melodies that country fans dig.
This song is fun like Kid Rock’s All Summer Long (co-written by Uncle Kracker) and summery like Uncle Kracker’s recent country top 40 hit Smile. It’ll be interesting if Nickelback and their record label decide to promote This Afternoon to country radio after it makes its way up the pop and rock charts. There is definitely precidence for rocking summer songs from rock stars to find a home with the country audience.
Nickleback is not country, Nickleback is rock. Some bands think that the pop/rock/or hip hop genre’s would be too unwilling to let them in or like Nickleback, the genres listed above are sick of them.. So they assume country will take them..
sorry y’all – country doesn’t really want your rock and roll.
Nickelback’s new song This Afternoon
The song is fun…The video is typically distasteful.
That seems to be how it works with Nickelback. Their songs are guilty pleasures. This Afternoon is just a simple fun song.
