Because it fits the format and How You Remind Me was the most played song of the 2000s.

Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???
I noticed and question that choice as well. "Most played" song of the 2000's shouldnt necessarily be the deciding factor for a station like WRIF and I can think of about 1000 other songs that should be played before anything from them. I dont "hate" them but they do have a stigma attached to them fair or not.

I've heard them play Theory of a Deadman as well.
As to Nickelback, historically, in the days of AOR, we dropped certain songs/bands once CHR started playing them. It seems to me, WRIF should leave Nickelback to the soccer mom Hot AC's.
WLLZ played REO Speedwagon "Take it On the Run" the other day. That's even worse.

Pretty much agree with all of that. WLLZ is an absolute joke. Their full throttle morph into WCSX's little brother is basically complete and Detroit radio is none the better.Colonel Flagg wrote: ↑Tue Sep 06, 2022 1:49 pmI've heard them play Theory of a Deadman as well.

I wouldn't bitch if they played Breathe or Old Enough.

I know Saginaw’s Z93 played Rockstar when it came out. Only time it’s played now is on their “Revenge of the 90’s” feature weekdays at Noon.
Only downside of SXM’s Turbo is that they do play Nickelback

Z93 is doing it right, IMO.

That song wasn't released in the 90s.

Nickelback doesn’t even like listening to Nickelback.
Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???
My point is that they don’t play them regularly
Re: Why is 101 WRIF playing Nickelback???
I think anyone who even has a little bit of good taste, hates Nickleback. I remember having to hear that How You Remind me song over and over around 2002-2003, at a job I had at the time. These 2 guys I worked with loved that song, ugh... .
