Music lovers in the United Kingdom can't seem to get enough of Green Day. The pop-punk pioneers have been present on the charts in the country for years, thanks to both continually impressive sales, as well as non-stop streaming activity. Not only are multiple projects from the group currently charting, but all of them are on the way up across a variety of tallies.
Three of Green Day's full-lengths appear on various U.K. rankings this week. Sometimes, the group occupies fewer spots, but this is apparently a booming time for the outfit. Two of the projects find space on just one roster apiece, while another appears on a pair of tallies. In all three cases, these collections are enjoying upward movement.
American Idiot stands out as Green Day's top performer in the U.K. this week, at least in terms of the total number of rankings it appears on. The politically-charged, Grammy-winning release is on the move across two tallies.
On the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, American Idiot lifts four spaces, landing at No. 14 and inching closer to the top 10 once again. It also improves significantly on the Official Physical Albums list, where it vaults more than 10 spots to hit No. 83.
Not far behind American Idiot is Dookie, the group's major label debut and the full-length that helped Green Day break into the mainstream nearly 30 years ago. This week, the title climbs on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, rising from No. 36 to No. 29. Dookie remains one of the band's most beloved and reliable performers, even if it's only holding on and finding space on the one tally.
Green Day also finds a home on the Official Albums Streaming chart, which ranks the most popular projects across platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. That ranking usually favors more current releases, but one of the band's compilations is still going strong, as fans keep pressing play on the full-length…but more likely, a handful of the singles featured on its tracklist.
Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band, the cheekily-titled retrospective, lands at No. 51 this week. That's an improvement of five spaces from the previous period.
Both American Idiot and Dookie have previously hit No. 1 on the charts on which they appear this frame. Greatest Hits: God's Favorite Band has not topped the Official Albums Streaming chart, but it's still made a huge impression. The compilation peaked at No. 26, and it has now spent 381 weeks on the list.

Michelle Beadle fired from SiriusXM after Stephen A. Smith drama
Michelle Beadle's time with SiriusXM has come to a close. SiriusXM officially parted ways with Beadle and Cody Decker of the 'Beadle and Decker' radio show on Thursday, according to The Athletic on Thursday. Advertisement 'And we'd like to thank the callers who made the last couple of days an absolute blast!!' Beadle posted on X, confirming the news. 'Truly. You don't usually get such love on your way out. Security usually walks ya to the door. You guys rule. 6 hours of how you felt. And you all were heard! Drinks on me…@Decker6 Michelle Beadle on the set of NBA Countdown in 2016. Scott Clarke / ESPN Images The network's decision comes just days after it decided to replace Beadle and Decker's time slot with a show hosted by longtime ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith, a move Beadle felt 'blindsided' by. During the show Wednesday, Beadle did not hold back when she opened the segment by acknowledging the network's move. Advertisement 'Welcome to the 'Lame Duck and Who Knew?' show here,' Beadle said as Decker yelled 'fired' in the background. 'All I ask is to be treated with respect,' Beadle continued. 'Here we are, we're going to do our shows because we're contractually obligated to be here.' Despite remaining mostly cordial during her show, Beadle was a lot more blunt with her thoughts when speaking to Front Office Sports. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of s–t to someone. If you forgot, there it is,' Beadle said during an interview on Wednesday. Stephen A. Smith, NBA analyst for ESPN, looks on before the Knicks Game 6 series-clinching win over the Celtics at Madison Square Garden. Getty Images ''The Hollywood Reporter' comes out — and there's his face. I was like, 'I should have known.' That was just kind of gross. I don't care that we're being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest.' Advertisement Beadle, who left ESPN in 2019, then took some shots at Smith, saying that she had problems with the show 'First Take' for years. 'I don't respect his work. He doesn't like me,' she said. 'This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for like two weeks. I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything,' she said. 'I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.'

ESPN paid Stephen A. Smith $100 million to not watch NBA Finals
ESPN paid Stephen A. Smith $100 million to not watch NBA Finals Stephen A. Smith's cover-up may prove more telling than his crime of playing solitaire during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night. After fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse noticed ESPN's $100 million Shouter-In-Chief thumbing away on his phone, Smith first tried to excuse the embarrassing act by claiming he was just killing time during a timeout. Of course, this was quickly disproven when another fan replied with a video that showed Smith was playing games on his phone during the action. Smith then posted a screenshot that showed he could play Solitaire and watch a stream of the game on his phone at the same time. Why he would need to do that when he could just lift is head and see the game being played in front of him is another question altogether. But whether he's just trolling his haters, as they say, or laughing at himself, it's hard not to notice the incredibly clear subtext: Stephen A. Smith, the most prominent voice at the World Wide Leader in Sports, doesn't really care all that much about sports. He knows his bosses don't even need him to. Now, his audience knows it, too. The latter seems like the part bothering him here. This is surely only shocking to those who haven't picked up on Smith's schtick. After all, you only need a mild understanding of the NBA landscape to fire off a take as ignorant as "Giannis Antetokounmpo is an underachiever if he only wins one ring" or to provide commentary as scintillating as "whoever wins Game 4 will win the series". For someone like Smith, the games are secondary, if they even rank that high on the list of priorities. All Smith needs is a box score or a highlight to decide which clichéd argument he's going to recycle on any of his numerous shows and segments. Smith is not on television to educate sports fans. His job is to rile them up. And make no mistake, Smith is excellent at his job. This is not to say Smith doesn't work hard. Between his ESPN obligations, a SiriusXM radio show and all his hits on cable news shows, Smith is constantly busy. If all of those tasks make you wonder how he can keep up with the action on the court, now, we have the answer: he doesn't. It's just a damn shame that fans tuning into one of the best NBA Finals series in years — between two basketball-crazed, championship-starved cities! — have to listen to someone who can't be bothered to watch the game he's literally attending for his job. It also goes hand-in-hand with an overall Finals presentation so lackluster even the league's commissioner has to comment on it. Then again, if anyone was tuning into ESPN expecting Stephen A. to explain how Rick Carlisle has coached circles around Mark Daigneault, or how referee Scott Foster once again became The Extender or anything at all about the rich history of basketball in Indiana and Oklahoma, they clearly missed the memo. ESPN decided it would rather pay Stephen A. to not watch basketball than employ someone who obsesses over every aspect of the sport. So the next time Kendrick Perkins and Smith start firing off ludicrous opinions, just remember that the same people who want to tell you what's wrong with basketball today struggle to even pay attention to the NBA when they're at a Finals game.
