Hailed as the "Most Anticipated Album of 2009", "21st Century Breakdown" opened to mixed reviews. Guitarist for the group Billy Joe Armstrong explained it as a"snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority". Arguably one of the best ablums of 2009.

With "Single Ladies(Put A Ring On It)" going to #1, "If I Were A Boy" to #3,"Halo" to #5 and the rest of the singles top 40 hits worldwide, we know Queen Bey is our American Top Quality!(With a lil' bit of spicy on the side! LOL)
