I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me, papa, paparazzi!

Uhh, I hate that song too. 21 Guns is getting a lot of airplay in the UK.

21 Guns is now #39 in the UK top 40, up one place :down:

Should be doing so much better

At this rate it'll be number 1 in about May 2010. :thumbsup:

i would have to say it's more successful than Know you're Enemy here in the Philippines.

I don't know about its chart positions, but here I've heard Peacemaker million times more in radio than 21 Guns. :/

It's not bad thing 'cause it's still Green Day on radio, but hey, 21 Guns is the single and Peacemaker is not :F

People just doesn't listen to good music anymore :P

I don't know how it's doing on the charts here but I've never heard so much Green Day on Polish radios as I do now. I usually don't listen to radio much but still can hear 21 guns couple of times a day :happy:

Really? :o I want to hear Peacemaker on the radio! And what do you mean people don't listen to good music any more? It's one of the best songs off of the album :P

^ It really sounds awesome on radio.

haha I meant that 'cause 21 Guns ain't doing so great on charts, people isn't listening to good music anymore :D

^oh, ok :) I hope they'll play it some day here :D

It'll catch on eventually. Same happened with Know Your Enemy. It didn't hit number the day it was released, it took a couple of months to really catch on and now I hear it everywhere. I bet the same will happen with this, but it looks like it's taking a bit longer...

I live in Australia and Green Day's new album has been promoted to some extent.

I do hear a fair amount of air time of 21 guns on the radio.

However it isn't very popular, it's not one of those songs that people would just all start singing to here.

Not yet anyway.

But when I first heard it I knew that everyone would fall inlove with it,

as many of the singles off American Idiot have.

Unfortunately, I don't believe it has the success it truly deserves.

its doing better than know your enemy. i think its number 26 in the hot 100.

Posted

Here it's number 29, same as last week in the top 40

It came on the radio at work yesterday and I noticed they cut it down too.

everytime I enter a shop they're playing it on the radio.

Posted

I still haven't heard it yet!

The radio here just plays Lady Gaga, The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga,The Black Eyed Peas or that stupid a-a-a-a-alcohol song. Grr....

Even the rock station here lacks in variety! They mostly play Led Zeppelin, Queen, or Van Halen.

So, I've given up.

i live in australia and so far ive only heard it once on the radio...that was on a pretty mainistream popular station....on itunes if you look at the popularity rating i think its even more popular than know your enemy....not sure though....

Posted

It's #13 (out of 100) on the iTunes charts here.

Not bad...

Does anyone remember Know Your Enemy's peek position? (probably not)

^ WMUWSE seems to be played more often.

I just got motivated enough to look!

Billboard Top 100: #26 and has been on there for 4 weeks

Billboard Top 25 Rock: #5 (KYE is #10)

My observation/view: I see 21 Guns on Kerrang (short version) and Scuzz (proper, album version) regularly. It has not helped that the video was out way before the single (in the UK at least). I never check any charts so cannot comment on any chart position, but the album is such good value why buy any singles from it ?

It was good to see 21CB getting good promotion at launch eg TV ads and the boys doing the Abbey Road session, but what would make sense to myself is to do the next single and promo push (maybe even appear on Later with JH) just before the UK tour. So I am expecting things to remain quiet in the UK until after the stateside gigs are completed.

I finally saw the video on MTV Hits last night! And since it was a "Latest and Greatest" playlist, they played "Longview" afterwards, it made me smile. :D

mtv arabia shows know your enemy 2 or 3 times a day but still hasn't shown 21 guns
