\n\t\u201cRattle the Cage\u201d debuted on the chart in August, marking Nickelback\u2019s 32nd career entry. The band first made the ranking in March 2000 with \u201cLeader of Men,\u201d which climbed to No. 8. The following year, \u201cHow You Remind Me\u201d spent 13 weeks on top. At the time, it was one of only eight songs to have led for at least that long. Nickelback matched that run in 2004 with \u201cFigured You Out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cRattle the Cage\u201d is also the first Billboard No. 1 for John 5 in a billed role. The legendary guitarist has been a band member for Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth and Rob Zombie, and has been the touring guitarist for M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce since 2022.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe new leader also adds to a strong year for Virgin Music, which earns its third Mainstream Rock Airplay No. 1 this year, among five this decade, matching Atlantic, Better Noise, BMG, Concord and RCA for the most of 2026.<\/p>\n
