fev5 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 So my Know Your Enemy CD arrived from HMV this morning, no Lights Out on there. Ha can't be arsed to complain to them about it. It's great to have the CD as I only had the recorded-off-the-radio version before, and I love the artwork That's a shame! But great about the artwork. I shall have a look around then and make a decision. Thanks for sharing this info
arrie44 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Yeah, I agree it had all the promotion necessary. As Rob pointed out just above the two of you, from Billboard:"Green Day makes the Modern Rock chart's biggest jump to No. 1 in 15 years, as "Know Your Enemy" rockets from No. 8 to No. 1 in just its second week on the chart. The track marks the biggest leap to the top since Nirvana's "All Apologies" bounded from No. 9 to No. 1 on the chart dated Jan. 22, 1994. All told, "Know Your Enemy" is Green Day's ninth No. 1 on the Modern Rock tally."Oh wow I didn't know that about the Billboard chart, I stand corrected. Hey another #1, good for them!! I'm surprised it got there but I'm glad I was wrong!
jose armstrong Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Oh wow I didn't know that about the Billboard chart, I stand corrected. Hey another #1, good for them!! I'm surprised it got there but I'm glad I was wrong!is not the Billboard cahrt, is the "Hot modern rock" chart
Hermione Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Wherever it is, that's great that they're number one! The only Green Day song that's ever been number one in the UK was The Saints Are Coming. And that was just because of U2 :/
chickin'pickin' Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I'd like the record company to hurry up with a new single, this one is destroying my ears. I suppose it's good that Green Day get some airtime, though.
Ally Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Wherever it is, that's great that they're number one! The only Green Day song that's ever been number one in the UK was The Saints Are Coming. And that was just because of U2 :/erm...saints are coming only got to 2. cos i remember my mum teasing me saying they couldnt even do it with U2. I believe when i looked at the charts the other day KYE is at 22 in the UK charts.And i'm not happy cos HMV sed the single had KYE and lights out on, so i bought if online, and the one they sent has only got KYE on dammit! least i only paid 99p for it!
Hermione Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 ^Ahh it must've just been their highest chart position then. Still not good enough, what are the British public thinking?!Lol the exact same thing happened to me. HMV said it had Lights Out when I ordered it, then they sneakily changed what it said on the website a few days later, after it'd been sent. Buggers.
Radioactive1 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Tbf though its hardly had any radio/tv play over here.Certainly not as much as American Idiot got.
Hermione Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 ^Yeah I've only heard it a couple of times on the radio. And also since American Idiot they've gotten rid of nearly all the music programmes on TV, there's just not as many places to hear it.

Hermione Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 ^Haha, well it's OK as long as we can hear it. I'm fairly certain Green Day haven't even been mentioned on terrestrial TV in the UK since all this new album stuff started. I haven't heard a whisper of their name let alone any of their music.
djrossstar Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Don't forget, you can hear KYE and many rare/old/live Green Day songs, two times a week, on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show.DJ Rossstar
DeJennsitized Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Ha, my 6-year-old neice watched the video for it the other day, and later on started singing "Do you know the muffinman" So now I can't listen to it without being reminded of that damn muffinman."Do you know the muffinman?Do you know that muffinmanWell, gotta know the muffinman, o-way"
CarmenPunkGirl Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Know Your Enemy it's first in Billboard http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/char...ern+Rock+Tracks
emmaILGD! Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 The more i listen to it, the more i like it. Although i think it's definitely one of those songs that's guaranteed to annoy the hell out of non-Green Day fans. Oh well.
Foxboro Hot Tubs Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 woohoo²I finally found the CD today in a store ... FINALLY!!
