* ChartDisplacement: Due to Billboard's rules in the 90s not favoring songs without a physical release, the ''Dookie'' singles and "Good Riddance" had huge airplay numbers but couldn't crack the Hot 100. They only entered there with the title track of ''Music/AmericanIdiot'' - which also fell victim to this, with a meager #61 while the album's following three singles, which had the benefit of Billboard counting digital download numbers, were at least in the top 20. And one of their #1s in the Alternative Charts is "J.A.R.", which is not as well-known as their other hits (to the point it entered one GreatestHitsAlbum, but not the next).

* ThrowItIn: When the band were recording for ''Insomniac'', they were working on one song called "Stuck With Me", and another, yet-untitled song. Then someone at the studio mistakenly labeled a recording of the untitled song as "Stuck With Me", and the band decided to make that the new title - the song that was originally going to be "Stuck With Me" was released as a B-Side under the title "Do Dah Dah". As a result, they have one song with the NonAppearingTitle of "Stuck With Me", and another that has the line "You're stuck with me" in the chorus, but is called something else.

** In the album version of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", Billie Joe plays a wrong note on the opening guitar chords twice. He mumbles "[[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]]" after the second, and then the song starts as normal.
