Popular Post That Dude Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 I wonder what Green Day (or Warner) will do with the $3.50 coming their way from 1,000,230,452 streams of Basketcase on Spotify. In all seriousness, a billion streams is a big deal. Starting out as the rickety story of Swank and Houston, Basketcase was rewritten and given the Cavallo treatment to become one of the biggest songs in the world. As a weirdo who likes a good deal of other Green Day records more than Dookie, even I recognize this song's appeal. It's relatable, funny, sad, rockin' - it really is a perfect song and deserves more plays than "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd. Anybody here NOT like Basketcase? I'm all about some hot takes so I won't give you crap about it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted February 24 Popular Post Share Posted February 24 Well deserved. There’s just something about Basket Case I can never get bored of it. Every time I hear it it feels like the first time. Always a thrill. The riff, the lyrics, the drums! Perfection. Congrats Green Day, don’t spend it all in one place 😄 💚 Basket Case 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'est parti, vous les soi-disant fans ! 😄 The ''so-called'' fans should try to rise views/streams on non-"Dookie" and non-"American Idiot" songs. i cannot believe that besides "Stray Heart", only "Amy" has more than 1 million views in YouTube from "Dos!". And since "Father Of All" was actually published during YouTube rise and the virus period, it should have double the views in all of its songs. In fact ignore what i just wrote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree. Maybe in the next few years. I was just kidding about the views on Basket Case, I know it won't hit 1 billion any time soon. Still hopeful it will in the next five years though!😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMostExpressivePrice Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Just now, GreenDayJunkie86 said: je sais que cela n'atteindra pas le milliard de si tôt. Of course not, because secretly the Green Day community is dedicated into pushing "Fancy Sauce", towards billion views. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMostExpressivePrice Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 @That Dude is going to invest into a clones machine in order to be able to watch multiple times and for longer gaps "Fancy Sauce", wanting to help that song reach 1 billion views... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of a Network/Green Day situation except yes, it's me. Haha 45 minutes ago, TheMostExpressivePrice said: @That Dude is going to invest into a clones machine in order to be able to watch multiple times and for longer gaps "Fancy Sauce", wanting to help that song reach 1 billion views... I looked into and it's kind of like booking Green Day for my bonfire. Let's call it "not financially viable" Earlier today, I had an idea about posting a Spotify link everywhere or somehow forcing everyone on the planet to listen to Green Day....but that last one's kind of evil so I won't do it. I'm just so baffled that The Weeknd has a song that's been streamed 4.5 Billion times. He's okay, but 4.5 billion????? He's not even Green Day adjacent. He could be in The Network, but I don't know . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviors and the new Alkaline Trio have been the only brilliant albums of 2024 so far. There's been a few decent albums, but I'm not sure when the next SAVIORS level release will be. I guess Sum 41 in March could be great. The Offspring could surprise us with a 2024 release but it'll most likely be later. Green Day will be working on their 16th album and Offspring will still be going to the studio for like 30 seconds every 6 months or some stupid crap like that. WOOHOO. I don't know why I have bullets. I can't unbullet. I need sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was going to say something similar, it probably gets the song on more playlists causing some kind of exponential growth effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted February 26 Popular Post Share Posted February 26 If you look at the Billions Club playlist on Spotify, Green Day have been added as the first track and their photo is on top. That itself will increase their streams 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDayJunkie86 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 1,001,457,499 streams now. Who is going to place a bet for 2 billion? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Over 500,000 people follow that Billions Club playlist so just being at the top of that one alone is going to give them a huge bump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
