There's A Campaign To Get American Idiot To Number One For Trump's State Visit

'Can you hear the sound of hysteria?'

April 27, 2018

A fan campaign has been launched to get Green Day's American Idiot to the top of the chart for U.S. President Donald Trump's UK visit on July 13.

"He's coming Friday 13th July…" says the movement's Facebook. "So if we ALL buy enough downloads of Green Day's American Idiot between Friday 6 – Thursday 12 it will time PERFECTLY to hit No.1 the very day he arrives on UK soil! Streaming counts too but less effective. Let's do this!"

We like your thinking, guys…

Any excuse to start blasting this super-loud, eh?
