21st Century Breakdown" by Green Day

The album "21st Century Breakdown" is a return breakthrough for the band Green Day. It's been five years since the band's last hit. It was not because the band did not have good music to present to its fans, it's because they have been working on other assignments in the industry. The band is alive and doing quite well. When "21st Century Breakdown" hit the stores on May 15, 2009, it instantaneously hit number #1 in 14 different countries. The album is the band's number one chart performance to date.

Rumor was that the band had lost its appeal to its followers, but when they were seen in a YouTube video with producer Butch Vig, the frenzy started all over. The album is recorded as being a bigger hit than their controversial album "American Idiot." The album "21st Century Breakdown" was the product of work done in 4 studios and over a period of 3 years. It has a hit single, "Know Your Enemy." The single was released in April, 2009. It too reached #1 in several countries upon its release date.

People view the group as a post Nirvana alternative band. Its critics say the music is a revival of the punk rock music. The group's music gained cult following in the 90s with the younger generations with their release of "Kurplunk." The 2009 release of "21st Century Breakdown" is another punk rock hit that is playing around the world with great appreciation by listeners and followers of the band. The videos from the album are doing just as well as the rest of the music.
