BadgerLALA Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 It have been very successful here in Sweden. They play it alot on the radio stations, that only use to play bad pop music.
novacaine_kid Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I've not heard it much, but then again the only time I have the radio on is when I put Kerrang radio on the TV as background music for when people are over. I don't really follow the success of singles, and I don't really care about chart positions, it means nothing. The album chart is the important one.

HoneyDo666 Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 And THAT'S for all the 21CB Debbie Downers on this forum!Great job Green Day! You so deserve it, it's a beautiful song! This may help their chances at Record of the Year!

green day fantasy Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 its doing alright here, some radio stations here in cleveland play 21 guns and the video gets played on vh1 and mtv2 when the play videos which is mostly at 10 at night and really early in the morning. i tell ya mtv really needs to play music videos again cuz its a shame they dont and if they do its mostly rap videos :down: then again i dont know if this has anything to do with this topic but i think a lot of people have moved on from liking green day which is sad cuz 21CB took 4 years to come out and i think the fans got sick of waiting for a new album. 21CB is a great album i love every song on there and i listen to it every day more than their other albums but i just wish they had more promotions and better singles like they did with AI. AI had tons of promotions and if i remember correctly they had ads on AI on tv a couple times where with 21CB i dont see any ads on tv trying to promote the album. the only promotion i see are in magazines and mtv vh1 do play their videos but its not all the time. its like you have to catch it to see it. its hard to top AI anyway but i think this album is just as good as AI and of course green day arent as popular as they were. i mean for example they were huge when dookie came out and that was really successful then insomniac came out like the next year and that album didnt do so well and green day wasnt as popular. the same goes for their other albums like warning wasnt as good as nimrod. so sometimes green day will have really successful times and other times they wont. thats just how it is. they were huge when AI was popular and now not as much but green day will be back on top and in all honesty i think after green day is done touring i think they should make another album at least within a year or two because 4 years is just too long to wait and you will loose fans.

I'm going there this weekend, I'll have to keep an ear out for it!
HoneyDo666 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 I really think Green Day's popularity skyrocketed after the 2005 Grammy Awards. If they win big at the 2010 Grammy's (they're favorites for multiple nods), it really will boost sales and their popularity! They're still HUGE though!
theeulogy Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 It was quite successful hereEven the mooost pop radio stations played it(that i actually don't like much..but anyway it's great to hear it suddenly sometimes)Plus they're not famous in Russia so..
Punx89 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 mY opinion--------------->very very successful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

saraHsunshine Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I dont listen to the radio or watch music videos BUT it got them two grammy nods which means that someone noticed it
elanorelle72 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 the Data is going to have to be changed now is version one and version 2 because now we will have 2 versions of the song on the charts I assume they will be treated differently
Sanity Loan Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 21 Guns came in at #60 on iTunes 'Best of 2009' top 100 songs.
Mrs. Nobody Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 It gets played from time to time on the radio.. tbh i don't really know, i don't listen to the radio that much.I should buy the single. Ha wow, i remember buying singles a looong time ago (before itunes completely took over). I remember buying BOBD when it came out /rambling

I´ve listened much more Boulevard Of Broken Dreams that 21 guns in this months...
Metanoia Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 its on a few best of 2009 cds here in germany =) so ya it was huge !
Vespertine Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I think it was very successful. Sometimes I see people here, in DC, listening to it.
Steven Samuels Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Frankly, I've heard a lot of friends say it's overplayed at his college. They literally pipe it through the P.A. system every hour at the top of the hour. I now love my friend's college....xD
Juliette Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I've never heard it on the radio or seen it on music tv.It must've been on though cause a couple of my friends heard it, though they prefer the musical version.I've not actually heard any of the singles in public :/
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I have no idea how succesful it is here, I hardly listen to the radio, and the music channels play 21CB (but well, they always just play the newest single).All I know is that the one time Green Day ended up in a conversation, someone who wasn't a fan started humming 21 Guns.
