Green Day’s “One Eyed Bastard” Is #1 On Mediabase Alternative Chart
Global rock superstars Green Day – Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool – have captured the #1 spot on the Mediabase Alternative Chart with their latest anthem “One Eyed Bastard.” Not only does the single rule airwaves as the #1 most-played alternative song in the country, but its continued success sees the iconic group become “the first band to earn four #1 entries on the respective chart since 2003!” What’s more, it’s also firmly entrenched in their live set as a fan favorite among an arsenal of classics.
Of course, “One Eyed Bastard” remains a standout from their GRAMMY® Award-nominated 14th studio album, Saviors. They just unleashed the brand new Saviors(édition de luxe) back in the Spring via Reprise Records.
“One Eyed Bastard” follows hot on the trail of other Saviors #1 entries, including “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” “Dilemma,” and “Look Ma, No Brains!” Not to mention, the album has impressively tallied hundreds of millions of streams thus far.
As always, Green Day show no signs of stopping or slowing down though. Saviors (édition de luxe) houses 7 new tracks in total, including 2 acoustic versions of “Suzie Chapstick” and “Father to a Son,” and 5 new tracks such as “Smash It Like Belushi,” “Fuck Off,” “Stay Young,” “Ballyhoo,” and “Underdog.”
Next up, the trio will headline Riot Fest in Chicago, IL on September 21, Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City, MD on September 26, and Ohana Festival on September 28, 2025. Full tour routing HERE.
Released in January 2024, Saviors found Green Day teaming up again with GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo, who famously helmed Dookie and American Idiot. The record bowed at #4 on the Billboard 200, marking the band’s 9th career entry in the Top 5 of the respective chart. Saviors received massive critical acclaim upon release and notably garnered three 2025 GRAMMY® Award nominations, including “Best Rock Album” and “Best Rock Performance” for “The American Dream Is Killing Me” and “Best Rock Song” for “Dilemma.” Saviors cemented Green Day as the #1 most-played artist at both US Alternative and US Rock radio in 2024.
Last year, Green Day dominated stadiums worldwide on their massive sold-out Saviors Tour. They continued into the new year, having just conquered venues across Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Malaysia. For the first time ever, the band delivered thrilling back-to-back sets of Dookie and American Idiot from top-to-bottom in celebration of the former’s 30th birthday and the latter’s 20th birthday, as well as performed new cuts from Saviors. The Saviors Tour marked Green Day’s biggest tour of their illustrious 30+ year career.
Most recently, Green Day was honored with their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The ceremony was emcee’d by Matt Pinfield, with actor/producer Ryan Reynoldsand long-time producer Rob Cavallo as guest speakers.
Earlier this year, Green Day delivered unforgettable headlining sets at Coachella and BottleRock Napa Valley. Additionally, the band is set to light up the global festival circuit this year with headliner slots at Riot Fest, Oceans Calling Festival, Ohana Festival, as well as UK’s Download Festival, Sao Paolo’s The Town, Ejekt Festival in Athens, Greece, and more.
