Correct, I've seen nothing about an adds date for radio. I figured this fell under the "top 50" umbrella for starting topics. It was 55, (53 today), and will be top 50 within days. It's the only other Green Day song in the top 70, so I figured it was obvious. I don't know what Green Day performed on Saturday Night Live, but I'd make a small bet that 21 Guns was on there.

When I saw the thread's title, I immediately thought about this.

If this is release as the next single, I wouldn't expect it to be sent to radio for at least two or three months. "Know Your Enemy" is going to be around for quite awhile longer with no intention of slowing down over the next month or so. Two or three months? I don't know about that. They performed it on SNL last night, and I"ve heard it on the radio more than once already. Know Your Enemy is only going to get limited play on pop radio. Why would they wait to release their pop ballad? It wouldn't make sense.

Coldplay didn't have to wait for their lead single to be left on life support for two months before letting its big gun loose. I think it worked out just fine for them.
Green Day, well, they could probably release this "21 Guns" today and it'll end up replacing itself at #1. I'd go for it; it's their moment right now.
I can't wait to see my first Green Day concert in July. :)!

Me as well on August 4th. I can't freaking wait. I saw them back in '02 with Blink-182 & Jimmy Eat World. They easily stole the show and were absolutely awesome.

I can't wait to see my first Green Day concert in July. :)! I'm jealous of anyone who gets to see their sets where the Kaiser Chiefs open. It kind of disappointed me because I like them so much. Franz Ferdinand are fine, but I'll need a convincing companion or free tickets if I see Green Day.

The Bravery are opening when I go. Which is kinda disappointing. Considering I like the Kaiser Chiefs and I love Franz Ferdinand. I only like one song by The Bravery. :[

Yeah, I also get The Bravery. I actually had bought the tickets before I even bothered to check who's supporting. Didn't matter. I think I'd prefer the Bravery the most of the three different openers.

I think releasing this as early as next week wouldn't even hurt "Know Your Enemy" that much.
The current competition on Alternative is weak in the upper reaches of the chart, where I'm not even convinced Cage The Elephant will quite get to #1. I think it's more than likely will Green Day will replace themselves at #1.
Getting "21 Guns" out in the open, and banking on a possible crossover hit, would be wise at this point, especially when no favorite album tracks have emerged yet on the iTunes Top 100 (unlike "Magnificent" for U2, "Absolute" for The Fray and "If Today Was Your Last Day" for Nickelback, to name several)
The fact no album track favorite has emerged digitally speaking can be a potentially problematic sign for "21st Century Breakdown", which means the band and its label will have to shoulder the effort in giving listeners who loved "American Idiot" but are hardly fervent fans of Green Day in general a reason to purchase the album.
Sincerely, Noah Eaton

It's climbing about as quicker now than at any other point in its chart run to date, however, so it has quite a bit of momentum............for now, anyway. "New Divide" is the only track I can think of having a shot at rivaling Green Day for the format's next #1. Sincerely, Noah Eaton

^Yeah, I would bet money on New Divide being the song to succeed KYE at #1 on Alt. Then I think it's likely that 21 Guns would succeed New Divide. There's just no other competition on Alt right now.

Not as if we didn't all know already, but this has a CHR adds date now, so it's officially the 2nd single.

I'm hearing this fairly regularly on the radio here in Philly. I'm not sure what kind of station 104.5 is considered - alternative?- but that's where I hear it.

I'm not positive Modern will play this a lot. Chance are good, but it just feels forced and way too familiar.

Even if I disagree with the last part of the comment.....its EXACTLY why Modern will play this...over and over and over again. Established bands get a pass for the most part and this song is good enough on its own merits. This will easily get to top 3 if not number one, only because Linkin Park may hold them out with their new one and who knows what else hanging around the top
