Industry forecasters for Billboard called it: Green Day’s newest album Revolution Radio topped this week’s Billboard 200 chart. Released on October 7, this is the third time the Bay Area natives have grabbed the No. 1 spot on the 200 list. The album is followed by Norah Jones, OneRepublic, Drake, and the Suicide Squad soundtrack.
The band’s website shared critical praise for Revolution Road:
Alternative Press: “the most intensely personal Green Day album in years,” Entertainment Weekly: “their most focused album in years,” LA Times: “a barnstormer of a new punk record,” Nylon: “delivers in terms of music, lyrics, and an unstoppable and quintessentially Green Day energy,” Q: “Revolution Radio is Green Day back at their best,” Rolling Stone: “it reflects decades of accrued emotional and musical wisdom,” USA Today: “a bracing return to form,” and many more.
Green Day will play a sold-out show at UC Berkeley October 20 as part of the conclusion to the North American leg of the Revolution Radio Tour.
