OK boomer . There's always been shitty music and good music around. Always been usually pop at the top of the charts going all the way back to the 50s.

Spotify update The American Dream Is Killing Me - 10,446,878 (+86k) Look Ma, No Brains! - 6,498,822 (+74k) Bobby Sox - 3,049,361 (+104k) One Eyed Bastard - 5,259,128 (+110k) Dilemma - 7,035,890 (+110k) 1981 - 1,596,079 (+69k) Goodnight Adeline - 1,482,728 (+60k) Coma City - 1,287,718 (+46k) Corvette Summer - 1,300,395 (+49k) Suzie Chapstick - 1,315,202 (+57k) Strange Days Are Here to Stay - 1,226,471 (+50k) Living in the '20s - 1,185,576 (+49k) Father to a Son - 1,027,076 (+39k) Saviors - 1,004,648 (+38k) Fancy Sauce - 969,644 (+40k) TOTAL - 44,685,616 (+980,183) I'm including all the tracks now. Quite a decrease in streams compared to yesterday's update

This might be a bit premature, maybe stuck in the honeymoon phase...but this just might be my favorite Green Day album. It has everything, short punchy songs, some songs that punch you in the heart, and some very relatable ones like dealing with depression and substance abuse all crammed into 45 minutes.

I can’t believe how little reaction there has been to this! I have been away for a hen weekend and had no free time so just catching up but come on, who expected to see video of BJ tattooing his own thighs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can you stop about "dogshit rappers and shitty pop"? We get it you don't like this music. But some people do.

HOLY SHIT I WON MY 2ND SAVIORS CD FROM MY LOCAL ALTERNATIVE RADIO ASDFGHJKL

Seriously, you're really just starting to get fucking annoying here. Can you please just shut up about pop/rap music. It's really god damn tiresome It's honestly really fucking stupid if vinyl doesn't count towards the Billboard 200 anymore. Like, why wouldn't it? That's just going to demotivate artists from releasing Vinyl if it's going to harm their CD sales which do count towards the chart performance (EDIT: Realized that it's indie sales that aren't counted, not vinyl specifically. But still that's dumb)

Wait! It’s crazy there’s an album titled “American dream” in the number one spot! It’s killing saviors!

in the 90s and 2000s there was lots of pop artists who regularly beat rock acts like green day in the charts, its not a generational thing. There are lots of Gen Z rock and punk fans; there are more music choices these days, too. This album was never going to outperform streaming with the wide age fan base Green Day has who may prefer physical media. Also while this is an amazing album, its not as clear cut great as AI was, when they was at there height.

I finally recieved my Hot Pink Galaxy vinyl! This time it didn't get stolen at the warehouse 👀

idk if this is old news but I JUST WON THE RAFFLE FOR MY LISTENING PARTY ?!?!?!?!?! im getting so much stuff apparently some of it hasnt fully arrived, which makes sense with my signed cd still not being here. shipping issues to AUS ig, BUT YEAH

Well, those numbers are not completely fair. The record sold 10.390 copies that are not counted on the Billboard chart, from indie stores: https://hitsdailydouble.com/indie_vinyl_sales

Don't worry, coach. I've got it looping on my laptop and when I drive home, I'll blast Fancy Sauce for 45 minutes straight. Then I'll start looping again. Looooooooooop

I wake up every morning with this song in my head. Especially the lyrics, "Do you want me to just go away? I just wanna be your nobody Is there any chance that I can stay?" Heartbreaking.

Wow Billie's got some nice gams! I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I stumbled across those videos. I was like BILLIE!!! YOU"RE SHOWING OFF YOUR NICE LEGS?!?!?!? Are you TRYING to kill the fangirls?!

Finally today I got my CD and vinyl. If I knew that I would have to pay 16€ taxes just because the GERMAN Warner Store delivers from Great Britain, I ordered both on Amazon 😅

I watched MSG @ 2009 performance today and jesus christ how ridiculously fucking beautiful moment it was when Billie took a fan from audience during Are We the Waiting and just constatly hugged her. Fan was crying her eyes out. It was truly one of the best fan interactions I've ever seen.

It would’ve been awesome to see them higher on that list, but #4 is still really good! I also thought this was an interesting tidbit: “Green Day’s Saviors starts at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 49,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 39,000 (making it the top-selling album of the week).” Physical media is alive and well in Green Day world.

Okay there's gotta be a documentary in the works

wow FM4 seems more or less equivalent to SRF3 - I'd be so embarrassed if that kinda thing happened over here But it does go to show what I kinda meant with my earlier comment, which is that the biggest problem for the band right now is that the album is simply going unnoticed by a lot people. Still, no reason to complain, that doesn't make it any less good, quite the opposite really.

One local radio station, FM4, just played OEB and the DJ played some snippets of Basket Case, WICA, BOBD and some unknown song (which I guess was played by accident) and she said that "the new album" (no title mentioned) will be released in 3 weeks and she's giving us "the first single" for free (like a present). I don't know what she was smoking but this is a huge radio station that usually focuses on indie music and stuff...I immediately wrote them a PM. But no wonder no single nor the album charted in Austria yet haha. The next chart statistics will be available tomorrow. At least there's no Schlager as #1...looking at you, Germany Edit: I have to correct myself. She said the next album could be as legendary as Dookie, American Idiot and Saviors...the whole clip is so inaccurate from start to end it's getting better the more I think about it

His video was one of the first things I saw in the morning…nearly killed me! I was thinking he should have asked us for help, I could easily have held his shorts out of the way for him, made it a little easier. I’m good like that. 😉😉😂😂

Lol I had a good chuckle at that. I mean the whole generation debate is a complicated one. Boomers are just holding wealth at this point and are no longer productive in the workforce. Still a huge market for any business to target though. Gen Z is suffering from following the steps of Millennials. Millennials lived in a world both with and without internet so Gen Z was disadvantaged not having the experience of disconnecting. Xers finally hold power positions now after years of boomers hogging them but for every X’er in this spot there is a Millennial close by bringing in new life to the processes. I don’t blame generational shifts for music issues anymore. I blame the major labels that use their resources to push shit. I blame IHeartRadio for broadcasting shit. In 2012 Billie Joe was not wrong, it was just unfortunate he had a substance abuse issue in conjunction with calling it out.

Even though I really don't care about charts and don't see it as fair measurement for album being good or bad, Saviors debuting at #4 is dogshit.

I feel like he sounds pretty great on a lot of the older songs from Irving Plaza? 2000 LYA, One Of My Lies. Sounds a lot stronger than the newer material

GreenDayFM: “While Saviors couldn’t nab the top spot on the Billboard 200, it was in fact the top selling album in terms of pure album sales for the week with 39,000. As mentioned on Friday, the album did debut at the top of the UK album charts with sales of just over 31,000. Unfortunately for Green Day, they continue to perform poorly where it counts these days and that’s in streaming. For it’s first week on the Spotify global top album chart, the album would land at #135. The lack of significant streaming numbers to pump up their “album equivalent units” makes it extremely difficult to compete for the top position on the Billboard chart.” Stream as much as you can this week folks!! 🤘🏻

Saviors pink and green "splatter" vinyl and the signed CD 😌

There is. In 1981 - “We live the dream for fifteen minutes of fame” It was Andy Warhol that said in the future everyone would be famous for fifteen minutes

This is absolutely the case at least a few times during the chorus. I love it, it's kinda funny to me.

I'm going through all the Green Day stuff I've saved over the years for the GDA Tumblr and I found this – a screenshot of the booking screen for tickets to the American Idiot musical on Broadway. Random but there probably aren't any other screenshots of it floating around now. That was the first time I saw the musical and I still get the warm fuzzies thinking about it.

The angle reminds me of my boss on video meetings. It's the worst.

Most recently, my 2nd Saviors copy as a contest win, and days ago, Kerplunk jewelcase and When I Come Around EU collector's. Aiming for the possible last available BBBPP copy in Poland!

Finally listened to this interview (I still have to watch the clips), but the takeaways were definitely Billie likes scarfs, Billie owns a sombrero, Billie goes to bed late, and Billie likes Fancy Sauce. All very vital pieces of information.

Lol are you the sole reason Fancy Sauce is getting more plays than the title track?

Yes! I completely agree and this is coming from someone who writes reviews. I usually hate reviews for big publications because they use meaningless sentences like "the song is the bubble gum sweetness that makes your mouth water." What the hell does this tell me about anything? Personally, it's why I try to have a more conversational style to my reviews. It's pretty much me trying to flesh out why I like a record beyond saying "it's good. you should buy it"

After spending some time with it, I have delivered my judgement. S tier: Dilemma, TADIKM, Strange Days, Living in the 20s A tier: Suzie Chapstick, Fancy Sauce, LMNB, Goodnight Adeline B tier: 1981, Coma City, Bobby Sox, Corvette Summer C tier: OEB, Father To A Son, Saviors No songs in "F tier" (also known as Fuck this noise, or FOAMF tier) although if I'm in Japan I'm sticking Fever on this tier. It's crap.

frickin hate gen z grrrrrr 😠

If I were to both fit and replace Saviors songs, I'd do this: American Dream - Fits American Idiot, replaces the title track Look Ma - Fits Tre, replaces Sex Drugs and Violence Bobby Sox - Fits Kerplunk, replaces 2,000 Light Years Away One Eyed Bastard - Fits 21st Century Breakdown, replaces Horseshoes & Handgrenades Dilemma - Fits 21st Century Breakdown, replaces RHS 1981 - Fits Father of All, replaces Meet Me on The Roof Goodnight Adeline - Fits Tre, replaces X-Kid Coma City - Fits 21st Century Breakdown, replaces... Murder City Corvette Summer - Fits Father of All, replaces Oh Yeah Suzie Chapstick - Fits Tre, replaces Brutal Love Strange Days are Here to Stay - Fits Tre, replaces Dirty Rotten Bastards Living in the 20's - Fits Father of All, replaces the title track Father to a Son - Fits American Idiot, replaces WMUWSE Saviors - Fits RevRad, replaces title track Fancy Sauce - Fits 21CB, replaces See the Light Final Tre tracklist: 1. Suzie Chapstick 2. Missing You 3. 8th Ave Serenade 4. Drama Queen 5. Goodnight Adeline 6. Look Ma, No Brains 7. A Little Boy Named Train 8. Amanda 9. Walk Away 10. Strange Days 11. 99 Revolutions 12. The Forgotten Now these could be weird opinions but it's based lyrically mostly. So if I were to replace Misery for example I'd replace with Jesus of Suburbia because they both have storytelling from certain perspectives. Suzie Chapstick would replace Brutal Love because they're both slow love-related songs ofc. 1. The dating apps are mentioned in Suzie Chapstick, "Will I see your face again / not just photos from an Instagram". Feel free to disagree, it's just my thoughts. 2. Someone on r/greenday pointed out the Joey Ramone -> Saviors cover thing days ago.

This song has major Butch Walker vibes. A very hair metal/"big dumb rock" kind of song. I love it, catchy as hell.

I'm getting something from @Rumpelstiltskin2000! I would love some Longshot prints

Playing this with the atmos mix on apple music is cowbell central lmao

Dang, even less than the estimated 51,000? The fact that it's not THAT much more than the 31k units that the album got in the UK really just shows how much more popular the band is in the UK than the US now. FOAMF even got to no. 1 on the UK charts and like Saviors, reached #4 on the US Billboard 200. But Saviors seems to have done better than FOAM in the UK, getting 31k units in its first week while FOAMF got 24k, while Saviors doesn't really seem to have done any better than FOAMF in the US. With that being said, I think Saviors will do better than FOAMF in the long run. Just the fact that people are enjoying it more means that more people will be listening to it years from now than how many people are still listening to FOAMF

Te truth about ,,mainstream'' reviewers is that a lot of them don't pay enough attention.. to be able to reliably rate new music. Nowadays The art of reviewing often comes down to choosing sophisticated words - using as many epithets and metaphors as possible. Sometimes I come to the conclusion that some reviews often need to be reviewed as well. Because instead of a reliable musical analysis with thorough refrences to songs structure etc., we get some manifestation od graphomania, shallow poetry-like reviews. Lot of words, little knowledge.

Here we go

LEGSSSS!!
