Hopefully their new songs will be played on the mainstream radio, I really miss hearing new GD songs on the radio. They always play the AI era and sometimes Dookie

Definitely. Its strange though, my main music consumption platform is YouTube, and I remember Bang Bang reached 2 million views in its first day.... Father Of All isn't near 2 million after over a week. Its strange how people's consumption of music has clearly changed since 2016

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

Wasn't Bang Bang no. 1 on alt and rock?

It peaked at #1, but it debuted lower in the chart.

Yup.  #1 on Alternative, Mainstream, and Rock Airplay.  And Canada Rock and UK Rock. #8 on Hot Rock (one above where FOAM currently is). And #4 on Bubbling Under 100.

This billboard article seems to have missed Bang Bang's chart numbers then. They kept referencing Oh Love from 2012.

I think that's because Bang Bang was a grower.  Oh Love and FOAM debuted higher than BB.  We'll see if FOAM matches/surpasses BB's numbers in the end.

Ah! BB didn't debut at #8 then, that's it's highest charting spot on the hot rock. Understood. Thanks!

But didn’t Bang Bang have a cool lyric video from the start? FOAM has nothing but audio.

Yeah the lyric video was out right away. That must have helped YouTube

Didn't they debut the video on facebook? That seems like a dumb move imo

Yeah they did.

[Alan86]

Glad the songs doing well. A lot of people seemed to dislike it right away but some have grown to like it now. The comments on YouTube under the Jimmy Kimmel performance are very positive. I hope there is some sort of music video or lyric video soon.

I'm probably the most excited for the video given the alleged setting and sound of the song. They haven't had a solid music video in a while.

Their last video was Back in the USA and it’s one of my all time favorites 

[Christian's Inferno!]

I didn't think BITUSA's video was that good tbh. 21CB was their last great video but RevRad had a lot of good lyric videos so there's that

[DookieLukie]

Oh yeah forgot about BITUSA.

I literally was just thinking about this today.  I have yet to hear FOA on mainstream radio -- granted I'm only talking about my drive to and from work -- but I would have thought that I would hear it at least once in prime rush hour airplay time.  I keep flipping around too, between a couple alt stations and pop stations.  Nada.

I know radio play is not the be all in today's market, and I'm probably showing my age, but there's still nothing cooler than hearing my favorite band on the radio.

@Biddymc same, I keep hearing the Hella Mega tour ad but no music.

I was wondering about this too. I looked up info on radio station playlists and found this:

“Radio stations are less concerned with release dates (the actual date that a song will "drop" in the market) than they are with add dates, which are the dates that tell the radio stations when to add a song to its playlist. A song may be "released" on the first of the month but may not be "added" to the schedule for another month.”

Can anyone confirm that there is a delay between release date and add date on radio for a single?
