“21 Guns” is the second single from the band’s latest album ’21st Century Breakdown’, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts, fueled by the Alternative radio No. 1 single “Know Your Enemy.”
’21st Century Breakdown’, which Rolling Stone has called “a rock opera in which the rock always comes first,” also topped the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan.
Over the past month, Green Day has continued to work with MySpace Music for the promotion of 21st Century Breakdown. During the week of the album’s release, they played an exclusive concert in New York City which was filmed for the site’s premiere online concert program, The List. The performance can now be seen on The List’s official MySpace profile.
In other Green Day news, the band has been nominated for three 2009 Teen Choice Awards, which are voted on by teens aged 13 to 19 and honor the year’s biggest achievements in music, movies, television, and fashion.
Green Day has been nominated in the following categories – Choice Music: Rock Group, Choice Music: Album, for 21st Century Breakdown, and Choice Music: Rock Track for “Know Your Enemy.”
This year’s show will take place at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 9, 2009 and air the next day, Monday, August 10th, on FOX at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
