Their landmark 2004 album AmericanIdiot launched Green Day into the stratosphere, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard chart and leading to five hit singles, before earning seven Grammy(R) nominations (winning two, including Best Rock Album). Their album 21st Century Breakdown won a 2010 Grammy(R) Award for Best Rock Album and spawned two hit singles: the gold "Know Your Enemy," and the double-platinum "21 Guns," which earned them three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards including Best Rock Video.
