With over 21 million records sold worldwide, Nickelback is showing no sign of slowing anytime soon.

Over the past year and a half, the band has been recognized with a host of awards and nominations including the distinctive accolade of "Most Played Artist On Radio" in 2006.

However, the group from Hanna, Alta., isn't letting success get to its head. "I just don't think you can take it really too, too seriously or take yourself to seriously I guess I think that's for me just keeping an eye on what we're doing and not really get to concerned about that I think is with is pretty key," said bassist Mike Kroeger.

But the group was caught off guard when it found out it was going to be inducted on Canada's Walk of Fame.

"My reaction was 'what?' There must be some mistake," said Mike Kroeger when he heard the news.

Guitarist Ryan Peake also was shocked. "They must have confused us with someone else," he said.

Having had time to reflect on the honour, though, Peake is genuinely proud of his group's achievement.

"I think it's pretty cool, I'm pretty happy to be from Canada. I can say that to be recognized from Canada is a big, big thing for me, I think for all of us," Peake said.

While the group jokes that a guard may need to be stationed over the star to stop people spitting on it, they are genuinely happy to be in the company of some of Canada's luminaries from the arts, entertainment and sports worlds.

Celebrities already inducted into the Walk of Fame include John Candy, Mike Myers, Rush, Donald Sutherland and Don Cherry.

"Don Cherry's got one?" said lead singer Chad Kroeger. "Sweet!"
