===''All the Right Reasons'' (2005–2007)===
After wrapping up the band's tour in support of ''The Long Road'' on New Year's Day 2005, drummer Ryan Vikedal was fired after a royalty dispute. He was later replaced by [[3 Doors Down]]'s drummer [[Daniel Adair]].<ref name="vikedal-sued">{{cite web |last=Lamb |first=Bill |url=http://top40.about.com/od/news/a/ryanvikedal.htm |title=Nickelback Drummer Ryan Vikedal Forced Out of Group Then Sued for Royalties |publisher=Top40.about.com |access-date=March 5, 2012 |archive-date=November 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111108172623/http://top40.about.com/od/news/a/ryanvikedal.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref> Kroeger later sued Vikedal to prevent him receiving any further royalties from Nickelback's music, though the lawsuit was later settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/betrayed_nickelback_drummer.html|title=Betrayed Nickelback Drummer}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.liveabout.com/nickelbacks-chad-kroeger-sues-former-drummer-3245547|title=Nickelback's Former Drummer Ryan Vikedal Sued and Dismissed}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/gzh3nj/chad-kroeger-wants-his-nickels-back-from-ex-drummer|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230611202245/https://www.mtv.com/news/gzh3nj/chad-kroeger-wants-his-nickels-back-from-ex-drummer|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 11, 2023|title=Chad Kroeger Wants His Nickels Back From Ex-Drummer|website=[[MTV]] }}</ref> Nickelback promptly went into the studio with their new drummer from January through May 2005. The sessions resulted in their fifth studio album, ''[[All the Right Reasons]]'' which was released on October 3, 2005. It peaked at number one on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] with 323,350 copies in its first week in the United States, as well as producing five U.S. Hot 100 top 20 singles: "[[Photograph (Nickelback song)|Photograph]]", "[[Savin' Me]]", "[[Far Away (Nickelback song)|Far Away]]", "[[If Everyone Cared]]" and "[[Rockstar (Nickelback song)|Rockstar]]". Three of these became [[U.S. Hot 100]] top 10 singles.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/archcht.cgi?cht965 |title=Chart Date: 10/10/2005 |work=Previous Album Sales Chart |publisher=hitsdailydouble.com |access-date=March 3, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121206033750/http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/archcht.cgi?cht965 |archive-date=December 6, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Also, the album peaked at number one on the Canadian albums chart. The album sold more than 12 million singles and over 9 million ringtones. The album also made Nickelback the first band in [[Nielsen BDS]] history to have 5 singles on the [[Contemporary hit radio|CHR]] charts.  It included appearances by Billy Gibbons of [[ZZ Top]], who played a guitar solo on the song "Follow You Home" and sang backing vocals on "Rockstar"—and a posthumously sampled appearance by Chad Kroeger's friend [[Dimebag Darrell]] from [[Pantera]], culled from guitar outtakes. ''All the Right Reasons'' had sold over 7 million copies in the U.S. to June 19, 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://s15.zetaboards.com/The_Other_Shore/topic/6818594/1/ |title=A TON of SoundScan sales charts leaked last week |publisher=S15.zetaboards.com |access-date=May 10, 2011 |archive-date=July 18, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718153054/http://s15.zetaboards.com/The_Other_Shore/topic/6818594/1/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The band spent much of 2006 and 2007 touring across the globe. In the fall of 2006, the band opened for [[Bon Jovi]] on the European leg of the [[Have a Nice Day Tour]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mattsmusicpage.com/nicbio.htm |title=Nickelback Bio |publisher=Mattsmusicpage.com |date=September 11, 2001 |access-date=March 28, 2012}}</ref> Over 2 million fans attended Nickelback's shows during those two years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/news/nickelback-to-release-8th-album-here-and-now-november-21 |title=Nickelback To Release 8th Album, 'Here And Now', November 21 |publisher=Roadrunner Records |date=February 8, 2012 |access-date=March 5, 2012}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=January 2018}}

The band played at [[Sturgis, South Dakota]] to over 35,000 people at the 2006 [[Sturgis Bike Rally]]. The performance was filmed with 15 high-definition cameras. They released the DVD and Blu-ray of it in 2009, several years after the performance.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/2606/nickelbacksturgis.html |title=Blu-ray Disc Details: Nickelback: Live from Sturgis {{pipe}} High-Def Digest |publisher=Bluray.highdefdigest.com |date=October 13, 2009 |access-date=March 28, 2012}}</ref> In November 2006, the band won an [[American Music Award]] for best pop/rock album, surprising the band itself. "We just kinda showed up because we were supposed to give one of these away tonight," Chad Kroeger said after receiving the award. He added that he had thought the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] would win the award.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.notablebiographies.com/newsmakers2/2007-Li-Pr/Nickelback.html |title=Nickelback Biography – born, house, time, year, Career, Sidelights, Selected discography, Sources – Newsmakers Cumulation |publisher=Notablebiographies.com |access-date=March 28, 2012}}</ref>
