Omg that's so cool. We met Cone in the airport on the way to see Green Day (21CB tour) and he told us he'd seen the show that tour and how good it was!

They were at the small GD show in Vegas too

Hey, so I work in live sports television (Bally Sports, specifically, Cleveland Guardians and Cavs) and one of our March Artists of the Month is Green Day! Interestingly enough the song we're allowed to use is Corvette Summer, so basically you'll hear this song used in highlights and stuff during the broadcast.

Kind of an odd choice to use for the NBA, but could definitely see this working for MLB/summer.

Here's the email I got.

What’s the official current stream count on Basket Case right now? Mine hasn’t moved since yesterday it’s still showing 999,529,176.  Should be getting very close to that billionth stream.  Do you think the band will acknowledge it in some way?

They have officially surpassed one billion streams on Spotify with Basket Case. Now it's American Idiot's turn to hit that goal

Should be focusing on saviors who cares about a song from 30 years ago? New album needs to be getting higher steaming numbers

I'm playing Fancy Sauce 360 times a day, only skipping the last second because there's not enough time in one day to listen more than that.    What are you doing to help the plight of deep cuts in 2024, my friend?

It's a milestone people should care if one of the hits gets 1 billion. It's not like life is Saviors or something.

Basket Case is eternally awesome. Don’t be a downer

[Montclare]

Green Day can also use this as publicity for Saviors. A simple IG post calling attention to the 1 billion feat, and work in bringing all their songs to a billion, including the songs on their new album, Saviors. Boom.

It’s like they barley care or promote Saviors now

Milestones aren't as important as promoting new music and staying relevant nostalgia acts care about Milestones because that's all they have like guns n roses bon jovi acdc green day is still out there making good music that should be the main focus 

[The 99th revolution]

So if for example AI gets 1 billion listens we go like "..." and don't say shit about it? Man that's important as well because if AI hits 1 billion it'd be the 2nd 1 billion listen song which will be a very great accomplishment for example.

I just don't understand why anyone gives a shit about the amount of listens X song has. It has been established years ago that Dookie is their most successful album with signature songs that gets played to this day. 10 years later they released yet another successful album with signature songs that are relevant to this day. This is like caring about music video having 1 billion views, album selling 10 million copies in 90s or other nonsense. I just don't get it and it doesn't reflect to Green Day's best work at all.

I give a shit because those are huge numbers and to me it's amazing news for a song to hit such numbers in views a MV has for example, even if it's popular. Not my duty to say nothing about celebrating for example BOBD getting 1 billion listens if it ever happens. Lol.

Amazing news by what metric? For me this just reeks of desperation by diehard Green Day fans that so badly want this band to be still relevant in 2024.

[The 99th revolution]

Yes I want this band to remain relevant in these times but not in a way that "OMG PLEASE KEEP GD RELEVANT IM A FUCKING IDIOT DUHHHHHHHH" lol. And it's amazing news because regardless of if it's a demo of Billie yelling and saying unintelligible stuff in a McDonald's restroom, it's still a huge number and that's what's important. Not like I want Green Day to be the center of attention. LMFAO

[Spike]

Billie Joe was in the new Gibson store in London today, and bought a shell pink ES335. I know this because half of my friends work there and I am personally very very sad.
