Last month, Green Day fans in the U.K. began orchestrating a campaign to get the band’s classic 2004 album American Idiot to the top of the charts for President Donald Trump‘s upcoming state visit.
Trump’s visit will take place July 13 (Friday The 13th, no less), and a fan-started Facebook group aptly titled “Get American Idiot to No.1 for Trump’s UK Visit.” The group want to send a message to the American leader by encouraging everyone to purchase a download of the album between July 6 and 12 to run the album to the No. 1 spot on the U.K charts for his arrival.
“We have a date, he’s coming Friday 13th July… so if we ALL buy enough downloads of Green Day’s ‘American Idiot’ between Friday 6th-Thursday 12th 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!” Facebook post in the group reads.
It’s no secret that Green Day aren’t big fans of the current U.S. commander in chief. They started an anti-Trump chant during their AMA’s performance. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has also called for the president’s impeachment, so it’s safe to say the band probably won’t be opposed to fans’ efforts.
