Billboard isn't a magazine. It's an industry publication based entirely on numbers.
I don't think their writers took a vote and determined Nickleback wrote the best music of the decade. Wouldn't be suprised if they cringed knowing they had to print it
While they certainly do blow nobody can deny the bands numbers were quite remarkable this decade.
“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

No, I can't deny that, but the numbers of music buyers that obviously don't give a flying fuck about originality and taste were quite remarkable too.
Considering that bands like Nickelback, Hinder, Good Charlotte, Blink 182, and Limp Bizkit to name just a few were at the height of their popularity.

I don't understand why peopel get upset about this. you can't really blame the band for this as it is not there fault that peopel bought their record. Blame the peopel who went out to buy those records.
we have to undertsnd that not everyone loves music like us, lets not kill ourselves over this. for most people, music is just a possession not a way of life.
I just don't know what would've been worse though: Nickelback or Creed? They're both pretty awful.
Band of the Decade for me: Either White Stripes, U2, or Radiohead.
