Nickelback - Dark Horse: Wikipedia Album Entry
Dark Horse is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on November 14, 2008 and a day prior in Europe. The follow-up to their multi-platinum selling All the Right Reasons (2005), was co-produced by the band and Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Robert John "Mutt" Lange, famous for working with such acts as Foreigner, AC/DC, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard.
The first single from the album was "Gotta Be Somebody", which was released online for free digital download on September 29, 2008 for a strict 24-hour period. "If Today Was Your Last Day" was the originally planned lead single but was scrapped at the last minute. The track "Something in Your Mouth" became available for download from the United States iTunes Store on October 28, and was released to US rock radio airplay as the second single from the album on December 15. The song became a hit through 2009 in many countries, such as United States,Australia and more. In January 2009, the album's second mainstream single (third overall) was released: "I'd Come for You", with Nigel Dick having helmed the music video, which was shot in the same month. The songs Something in Your Mouth and Burn It to the Ground were released only at the rock radio stations on December, 2008 and May, 2009 respectivaly.
The exclusive Wal-Mart edition of Dark Horse came with a link to download an MP3 from their performance of "This Afternoon" on Walmart Soundcheck.
The album won numerous accolades at the 2009 Juno Awards, winning all five of its nominated awards, including "Rock Album of the Year".
Dark Horse was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 9, 2008, only 3 weeks after its North American release. The album also remained in the top 20 on the Billboard 200 for weeks after its release. The album was then certified two times platinum in April 2009.

Nickelback - Dark Horse Lyrics
Nickelback - Something In Your Mouth Lyrics
Got to meet the hottie with the million dollar body
They say it's over budget, but you'd pay her just to touch it, come on!
Needs to hit the big screen and shoot a little love scene
If Hollywood had called her she'd be gone before you holler, come on!
Nickelback - Never Gonna Be Alone Lyrics
Time, is going by, so much faster than I
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you
Now I'm wondering why I've kept this bottled inside
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you
Nickelback - Shakin' Hands Lyrics
Hey, hey
She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door
You grow up quick when you grow up poor
It's the only way to LA that she knows
Nickelback - Just To Get High Lyrics
He was my best friend, I tried to help him
But he traded everything for suffering
And found himself alone
Nickelback - Gotta Be Somebody Lyrics
This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
Nickelback - If Today Was Your Last Day Lyrics
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
Nickelback - I'll Come For You Lyrics
Just one more moment
That's all that's needed
Like wounded soldiers
In need of feeling
Nickelback - Next Go Round Lyrics
I wanna do it till the sun comes up
Till we're both so good and sweaty that we can't stand up
I wanna do it till we're both about to drop
As long as we got it together
Nickelback - S.E.X. Lyrics
You know there's a dirty word
Never gonna say it first
No, it's just a thought
That never crosses my mind
Nickelback - Burn It To The Ground Lyrics
Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
Oh, that shit makes me bat-shit crazy
We've got no fear, no doubt, all-in, balls out
Nickelback - This Afternoon Lyrics
Oh, looking like another Bob Marley day
Hitting from the bong like a diesel train
And I'm down with hanging out this afternoon
