Notes: Starting over after the band deemed work on an album to be called Cigarettes And Valentines was not considered to be up to their standards, Green Day recorded a punk rock opera that would project them back to the top of the charts. Taking 10 months to record and costing $650,000, American Idiot was a massive undertaking for the band but would go on to sell over 6 million copies in the US alone. In 2024, a 20th anniversary deluxe edition of the album was released that featured previously unreleased demos and outtakes.
