Last week, Yahoo announced that Green Day had passed a significant benchmark in their career. It was reported that Green Day has sold over 25 million records in the United States alone.

If you're a Green Day fan, you have lots of company. The band's career album sales reach the 25 million mark this week. The band's best-selling albums are its 1994 breakthrough smash Dookie, which has sold 8,082,000 copies, and American Idiot, which has sold 6,047,000 copies since its release in 2004. The later album features "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," which is the only hit ever to win both a Grammy for Record of the Year and an MTV Video Music Award for Music Video Of The Year.

If you think that is a big number, as of 2010 it was reported that worldwide Green Day has sold over 65 million albums.
