All the Right Reasons is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band Nickelback, released on October 4, 2005. It is the band's first album with former 3 Doors Down drummer Daniel Adair, who replaced Ryan Vikedal in January 2005. The album topped the Canadian Albums Chart and the American Billboard 200 albums chart and has sold 18 million copies to date, being the best selling Nickelback album to date according to certifications from the CRIA, the RIAA and the BPI. Seven singles were released from the album. The album re-entered the Finland Albums Chart five years after its release, setting also a new peak position, at #21.

All the Right Reasons was certified 8× Platinum by the RIAA in October 2009 and had sold 7.91 million copies in the US as of December 2015, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time in the US. In Canada, All the Right Reasons was certified 7× Platinum by the CRIA in March 2010.

By 2004, Nickelback were heavily supporting their previous album, The Long Road, and were touring to support it. Though the band were playing to sold-out shows and enjoying a lot of success with their singles, many fans and critics thought that Nickelback were going to fade away soon after. Nickelback played their last dates in September and shortly afterwards took a break from playing music. In January 2005, drummer Ryan Vikedal was fired from the band. This paved the way for the recruitment of former 3 Doors Down drummer Daniel Adair. From January to May, the band recorded their new album at Mountview Studios, Abbotsford, British Columbia.
