Meanwhile, вЂњDos!вЂќ lead single вЂњStray HeartвЂќ registered a mere five plays among the more 1200 stations monitored by Nielsen BDS for the Hot 100 in the past seven days.

18, вЂњUno!вЂ™sвЂќ вЂњLet Yourself GoвЂќ was still acting as the focus track, rising to No. The release plan certainly affected the singles rollout of the three albums, as вЂњDos!вЂќ and вЂњTre!вЂќ afforded little time to grow at alternative and rock radio. The altered release date for вЂњTre!вЂќ meant that Green Day was releasing three albums - 37 songs worth of material - in a 78-day span it was an overwhelming amount of new music from a band that had taken nearly five years to craft the follow-up to its career-resuscitating 2004 rock opera вЂњAmerican Idiot.вЂќ Triple-albums like the Magnetic FieldsвЂ™ вЂњ69 Love SongsвЂќ and Joanna NewsomвЂ™s вЂњHave One On MeвЂќ have been well-received in the SoundScan era, but few artists have opted to put forth such a wealth of material without issuing everything simultaneously and placing a buy-three-for-one bow on top of the project. вЂњIf we couldnвЂ™t be there to play it for you live, the least we could do was give you the next best thing.вЂќ вЂњWe feel bad we have to delay our tour, so to make up for it we want to give our fans the music earlier than we had planned,вЂќ drummer TrГ© Cool said at the time. 11, as a mea culpa of sorts for the cancelled shows. Days before the release of вЂњThe ForgottenвЂ™sвЂќ music video, the band announced that they would shift the вЂњTre!вЂќ release date from Jan. вЂњThe ForgottenвЂќ has sold 4,000 downloads to date according to SoundScan, while вЂњIt Will RainвЂ™sвЂќ sales total 3.1 million. Meanwhile, the bandвЂ™s contribution to the вЂњTwilight: Breaking Dawn вЂ“ Part 2вЂќ soundtrack, the string-laden ballad вЂњThe Forgotten,вЂќ was released as the lead single to the compilation in October, but could not receive the kind of high-profile push that was given to Bruno MarsвЂ™ вЂњIt Will Rain,вЂќ which led the вЂњBreaking Dawn вЂ“ Part 1вЂќ soundtrack last year. Read The Green Day Billboard Cover Story from July 2012 23 announcement, Green Day could not spread the word about the releases of вЂњDos!вЂќ and вЂњTre!,вЂќ and their initial album sales reflect that lack of promotion. 1 on the Rock Songs chart, as well as multiple music videos and televised performances prior to the Sept. Although вЂњUno!вЂќ was promoted with a single, вЂњOh Love,вЂќ that hit No. The groupвЂ™s remaining 2012 tour dates, including a spot at the Voodoo Music Experience fest, were scrapped, and its 21-date North American trek was postponed.

23 - two days before вЂњUno!вЂ™sвЂќ release - that he would be seeking treatment for substance abuse, the rollout of вЂњUno!,вЂќ вЂњDos!вЂќ and вЂњTre!вЂќ understandably stepped aside for personal necessity. When frontman Billie Joe Armstrong announced on Sept. Of course, those numbers can be chalked up to forces beyond the control of any marketing team. Yet when compared to the 215,000 copies that вЂњ21st Century BreakdownвЂќ sold in its first frame in 2009 - which came in an abbreviated three-day sales week, no less - the initial figures for the bandвЂ™s ambitious three-part epic have to be viewed as underwhelming. вЂњUno!,вЂќ the first part of the trilogy released in September, bowed with 139,000 copies sold in its debut week, and has since moved a total of 256,000 units, according to SoundScan. 13 spot on this weekвЂ™s Billboard 200 chart. But that disappointing sales debut just occurred twice for the pop-punk mainstays: first with вЂњDos!,вЂќ the second part of the groupвЂ™s three-album follow-up to 2009вЂ™s вЂњ21st Century Breakdown,вЂќ which started with 69,000 copies sold in its first week in November according to Nielsen SoundScan, and now with вЂњTre!,вЂќ which debuted with 58,000 sold and a No.

It would have been unimaginable as recently as a few months ago for Green Day to release a full-length featuring a dozen new songs and sell less than 100,000 copies of the album in its first week.
