Two years ago today, Green Day's eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released on Reprise Records. The album was produced by Butch Vig, marking the first time Rob Cavallo wasn't a part of a major Green Day album release. The album reached #1 on the USA Billboard chart and hit #1 in 15 other countries around the world. Since its release, 21st Century Breakdown has sold 3.5 million copies worldwide.

Five singles and videos came off of 21st Century Breakdown including "Know Your Enemy," "21 Guns," "East Jesus Nowhere," "21st Century Breakdown," and "Last of the American Girls."
