Some single information about years and albums is incorrect/not completed, so page has been put up for cleanup. 24.71.246.81 01:16, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Tables are messy and some information is incorrect. 24.71.246.81 00:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

(september 13, 2006) I think that there are some live albums missing in the discography. I'm not really into the band, but i'd say at least "God Bless Amerika" and "Boring Days In Paradise".

[edit] Song Positions

There seems to be some incorrect information in the "Charted Singles" section which keeps appearing. Can we cite some sources? 210.50.189.54 04:57, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes. I just did, above. When i was young, on the Top 40 Show (I think it was Kasey's Top 40, before he returned to American Top 40), i did indeed hear "When I Come Around", "Brain Stew/Jaded" and "Good Riddance". Also look on those songs' Wikipedia pages. They should tell you when they hit the top 40 if all all. Also www.billboard.biz. Doc Strange 13:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information on the Song Posistion sources

I just got some more information: I'm pretty sure of myself that the band's only Top 100 success came from American Idiot. What the Wikipedia sites for the singles say:

Meanwhile, at www.billboard.biz, i clicked on the "charts" tab, selected singles & tracks, and at the second of the bars on the page put "Green Day" in for "artist". Here's what it came up with: unfortantly, i was not a member of the site, so i could not click on the dates. I'm not including the songs from "American Idiot" or "The Saints Are Coming"

  • Adult Top 40 - 4/14/2001 - "Warning"
  • Adult Top 40 - 1/27/2001 - "Minority"
  • Adult Top 40 - 1/30/1999 - "Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)"

[edit] Single Covers in the Singles Listings

I don't think the single covers should be used for the table...It kind of takes a lot of space. Maplejet 12:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Transmissions

last week Green day released a new album named transmissions. i have since discovered that it is a compilation of old songs. After adding it to the discography, why has it been taken off? for proof, have a look on hmv.co.uk, pl;ay.com or amazon.co.uk among other websites. This may possibly be a UK exclusive

[edit] American Idiot Sales?

The sales of American Idiot on this page are 22 million worldwide which outsells Dookie on 20 million. However, Dookie is claimed on its own Wikipedia page to be Green Day's biggest commercial success and American Idiot's own Wikipedia page says it has sold less than fifteen million. Can someone please clear this up? Thank you Masier (talk) 14:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Sales Numbers

I am quite skeptical about several of the sales totals posted on this page; sources need to be added. 22 million for American Idiot? I don't think so. Jacknife737 (talk) 05:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I was the one that changed the page into what seems to be the newest way to sort a discography from what it was (boxes will all the information uncategorized). I was skeptical about a lot of the information too, and it is possible that I started to change the page right after it was vandalized or something. Fezmar9 (talk) 12:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Brain Stew and Jaded

Brain Stew and Jaded are two diffrent tracks and should be listed as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.119.136 (talk) 22:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
