Nickelback’s “Rockstar” (2006) is a tongue-in-cheek catalog of rock-star dreams, delivered as a catchy country-rock flavored anthem. Chad Kroeger drawls through fantasies of VIP perks and excess (“I want a brand new house…”), while Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top provides spoken asides, adding authentic rocker cred. Though initially released in 2006, it slowly climbed the charts and became a sing-along staple (especially in the UK, where it hit No. 2). Love it or mock it, “Rockstar” tapped into universal daydreams of fame and remains one of Nickelback’s most recognizable tunes.
