Despite being available for just three days of the chart week, Green Day’s new album ‘21st Century Breakdown’ debuted at #1 with UK sales of 90,000.

The album accumulated another 70,000 sales in its first full week of release.

‘21st Century Breakdown’ has also proved to be a true global phenomenon. It has already topped the charts in 22 countries including USA, Germany, France, Japan and Canada.

Green Day return to the UK this October for their first full tour since early 2005. Commencing in Glasgow on October 19th, the tour includes three dates in London (two at the O2 and another at Wembley Arena) and shows in Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester.

Quote:

"There's a hugely imposing certainty about the album's sound and songwriting... the main currency of 21st Century Breakdown is king-sized stadium rock" - The Guardian
"Deft, epic, versatile and thrilling" - Kerrang!
"The voice of a disenfranchised mainstream, presented for prime-time consumption" – Metro
"Tight, flashy and full of gnashing pop hits" – NME
“Green Day’s greatest accomplishment is the manner in which they’ve constructed a supremely cohesive whole out of such seemingly disparate parts. The characters, themes and motifs that recur throughout 21st Century Breakdown are marshalled into an engrossing narrative that recalls both Bruce Springsteen and novelist Chuck Palahniuk” – Observer Music Monthly
"Another perfect document of our times" – Q
