Green Day's seventh studio album, American Idiot, dropped in September 2004 and has sold over 23 million copies worldwide, including 9 million in the US. The punk rock opera won Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards and launched five hit singles: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Holiday," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Jesus of Suburbia," and "American Idiot." This 20th Anniversary pressing puts the album on red vinyl with black splatter across 2 LPs.
