Following the footsteps of previous singles "American Idiot" and "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," "Holiday" has now reached the peak position on the Modern Rock chart, making it the third single from "American Idiot" to reach Number One. "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" created radio history when it climbed to Number One at six radio formats simultaneously.
Green Day's "American Idiot" was released on September 21, 2004, and debuted at Number One on the Billboard Top 200 Chart and Number One in several countries around the world. Weeks later, the album returned to the Number One chart position in the U.S. and many of the same countries across the globe. "American Idiot" won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in February of this year, and the band has received extensive media attention in both the alternative and mainstream press, gracing the covers of Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Entertainment Weekly's Listen To This, Bass Player, Drum and Guitar World. Green Day was touted as Yahoo! Music's Artist of The Month at release time, and the band recorded Sessions@AOL this past fall, which aired extensively on Fuse. In addition, Green Day has had multiple appearances on Fuse's 100% and Daily Download.
