Feed the Machine is the ninth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, and was released on June 16, 2017. It is the band's first release through record label BMG.[5] Feed the Machine debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 with 47,000 album-equivalent units.[6]
Following the release of their prior album, No Fixed Address, in 2014, the band cancelled the majority of their touring due to Chad Kroeger needing to have surgery to remove a cyst in his vocal cord.[7] The band subsequently became bogged down in legal battles related to the cancellation of the tour.[7]
The album was released on June 16, 2017.[8][9] Shortly after its release, the band began a 44-city tour on June 23, 2017, in North America, co-headlined with Daughtry, Shaman's Harvest and Cheap Trick as supporting acts.[7]
The album's first single, "Feed the Machine" was released on February 1, 2017. The second single, "Song on Fire", was released on April 28, 2017.[10] On June 2, 2017, Nickelback made the song "Must Be Nice" available on their YouTube channel[11] and gave it away to those who had pre-ordered the album.[12] "Must Be Nice" was released to American rock radio stations on June 6, 2017, as the album's third official single and second rock single.[13]
Feed the Machine debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200 with 47,000 album-equivalent units, of which 43,000 were pure album sales.[5][14] It debuted at number three in the UK, becoming their highest-debuting album of their career in that country. Later, it has been certified Silver by the BPI for sales in excess of 60,000 copies.
