- His dad left the family when he was only 2 years old. He later started going by his mom’s maiden name, Kroeger. Nickelback‘s song Too Bad is dedicated to that event in his life.
- His last name is pronounced “Kr-OO-ger.”
- In the past, Chad landed the 6th spot on “The 100 Unsexiest Men in the World” compiled by the Boston Phoenix website.
- A song he recorded for the soundtrack of the movie Spider-Man (2002) titled Hero, gained him a lot of prominence as a solo artist.
- More than 3 years after their divorce, when Avril announced she was suffering from Lyme disease, Chad rose up to the task and supported her both privately and professionally. He gave her advice on song choices, lent his vocals, and invited her to use his recording studio for her 6th studio album, Head Above Water (2019).
- Nickelback‘s song How You Remind Me peaked on the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while the song titled Photograph reached #2 on the same chart.
- “threw a jab” at his band when he asked his at-home AI system named Jarvis in 2016 to “play him a good Nickelback song.” The system replied: “I’m sorry Mark, I’m afraid I can’t do that… there are no good Nickelback songs,” to which he replied: “Good. That was actually a test.”
