Spin magazine has confirmed that "21st Century Breakdown" will be released May 15th, on a Friday. The story is the headline on the front page of Spin.com. They also confirm that "Know Your Enemy" will be the first single, and will be released to digital retailers (Amazon MP3, iTunes, etc.) and radio in mid-April.

Q Magazine has a new article out with an in-depth look at the creative process into 21st Century Breakdown. It's a lengthy article, covering various parts of the bands history, as well as giving us the complete list of songs (with quotes from the band about each song), and give some details . There will be 17 songs on the album (17 confirmed, the article mentions that the band was finishing another song titled "Desperate", that they were trying to get it into the final cut). It's a really great interview that you should definitely take the time to read. There's some great photos in there as well.

Another band ****ing up their first-week sales. Excellent.

Finally!!! Can't wait for album. "Know Your Enemy" needs to leak ASAP.

OMG!!! i can't wait!!

Perfection.

Amazing! I Cannot wait to hear the entire album!

Guarantee you that it's still #1, even with it being released on a Friday.

Thanks for the link Johnald

who´s mathew cullen?

edward cullen's son.

well cant wait.

It seems that he works for Motion Theory. Their filmography:

Sara Barellies - Gravity
Adele - Chasing Pavements
Modest Mouse - Dashboard
Beck - Girl
David Gray - The One I Love
Velvet Revolver - Dirty Little Thing
R.E.M. - Animal
Papa Roach - Getting Away with Murder
Matisyahu - Jerusalem
Less than Jake - The Science of Selling Yourself Short

Green Day is taking a risk with the new album coming out on Friday and not having those extra days of sales, but they should be able to break records! They are one of the few artists who can sell albums and come out with amazing songs. I think maybe we could expect 400k - 500k in their first week.

Can't wait to hear Know Your Enemy.

Oh! thanks for the information

They are punk legends, this will go straight to #01. I can't wait to see the video

i agree that they are taking a risk, BUT if anyone can do it, green day can. i cant wait to hear this album
