Art Vinyl Top 50, KROQ Top 20

Jan. 6, 2010 / Comments

ArtVinyl.com picked Green Day's artwork for '21st Century Breakdown as the #5 of the top 50 for 2009. You can see a full list of the other artwork nominated right here.

[newsImage]010610_kroq.jpg[/newsImage]KROQ listed Green Day a few times in it's countdown of the top 20 songs (each year) of the decade.
2009 - #13: '21 Guns'
2005 - #1: 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams
2005 - #7 'Holiday'
2005 - #13 'Jesus of Suburbia'
2005 - #18 'Wake Me Up When September Ends'

I'm hoping the band releases East Jesus Nowhere this year as a proper single (with an actual music video), because I really think that song would make a perfect single. American Idiot was huge the year after it's release, I'm hoping the same is true for 21st Century Breakdown.

Thanks to Rebecca W., Jaz M., Polly, Chris R.
