It's been 20 years since Green Day's American Idiot first arrived, and the seminal pop-punk album is still striking a chord with fans worldwide, as evidenced by the title track reaching a significant milestone: surpassing 1 billion streams on Spotify.
Lyrically, 'American Idiot' itself speaks to the turbulent socio-political climate of America in the 21st century, referencing national tension, propaganda, and a country controlled by the media.
Now, it joins 'Basket Case' as Green Day's second song to pass the 1 billion mark, with the band's picture serving as the cover of Spotify's BILLIONS CLUB playlist this week.
Up next, Green Day will continue celebrating American Idiot with a massive anniversary box set, arriving on October 25th with a tracklist including several previously unreleased songs.
