Reception

Reception section wasn't making sense and wasn't written too well, removed for now and will attempt to replace with references at a later date. Tbfoster (talk) 02:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

makes no sense

i removed the sentence "Billie Joe Armstrong said about the song "One of My Lies" that it was of a record no one has at Woodstock '94." from the album notes section as, aside from being worded very poorly it makes very little sense. especially when you consider the fact that the album was redorded in '91 so it would be kind of hard for a song off of it to be about an event that wouldn't take place for 3 years.69.211.149.52 18:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think what it meant was that the song was on an album which nobody owned, which was said at Woodstock 94. It's not notable enough for the article anyway. -Joltman 10:54, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

680,000 = Platinum?

"As of June 2005, Kerplunk! has sold 680,000 units in the US, and is certified platinum."

I thought one million are required for platinum. -newkai | talk | contribs 11:06, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

680,000 units have been sold in the US.
worldwide sales have made it platinum. --JoeBlowfromKokomo 02:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't Platinum status an RIAA certification though, representing only sales in America? Or is this "Platinum" status awarded from some separate international entity?Ringer7 04:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exclamation Point in Title

I'm not sure that the exclamation point in the title is necessary, especially seeing as it is not included on Green Day's own website and they do include the exclamation point in the title of International Superhits!. The album cover itself doesn't even feature the exclamation point, only the back cover and a few other areas. I feel that, especially because the typeset of Nimrod and Warning have recently been changed, this must be fixed.Ringer7 04:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would be acceptable, only because the front and back cover are inconsistent. --PEJL 09:08, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

import the cd to itunes and come back--Greenday21 (talk) 23:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)Greenday21[reply]

iTunes has a host of titular errors, they are not an authority.Ringer7 (talk) 23:42, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pop Punk

I think the genre should be Pop Punk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.136.120.111 (talk) 04:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. They fit to Pop Punk genre perfectly. At least make it one of the genres. It's an accurate description of the band and album. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:kbfqxqugld0e Allmusic Guide which is a reliable enough source for many other artists says one of the genres should be "Punk-Pop", which would be the same as "Pop Punk". —Preceding unsigned comment added by KILLER BOB11694 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Billboard position

This album DID NOT reach #1 on the Billboard charts. It didn't even chart on Billboard at all. http://www.billboard.com/#/album/green-day/kerplunk/139584 The official Billboard website even says "This Album has never charted" on the album's page. Someone fix this, please. We don't want to lie, do we? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KILLER BOB11694 (talk • contribs) 14:11, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
