There aren’t many bands who can say they’ve done this.
Green Day’s ‘Oh Yeah’ just hit Number One on the Billboard Alternative Songs Chart, and with it comes a new achievement.
The band now hold the record for the longest span of songs that have made it to the top of the Alternative Songs Chart, starting way back in June 1994 with ‘Longview’. The record was previously held by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
That’s three decades of Number One hits. Unreal.
So those songs, in order of when they hit the top, are:
Longview
Basket Case
When I Come Around
J.A.R
Minority
American Idiot
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Holiday
Know Your Enemy
Bang Bang
Still Breathing
Oh Yeah!
What a streak that is.
And here’s ‘Oh Yeah!’, taken from the band’s latest album ‘Father Of All…’ to celebrate:
