"American Idiot" is a song by American Rock band Green Day, and is the first single from their seventh album, American Idiot.

Released in 2004, the single peaked at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Green Day's first chart entry (previous singles had not charted), helping revive the band's career. However, it should be noted that the appearance of "American Idiot" on the US singles charts occurred just prior to Billboard Magazine's inclusion of internet download purchases into their Hot 100 chart data, which would have made a significant difference in the song's peak had it benefitted from the new chart tabulation system. This most recent form of sales assessment has resulted in the far greater successes of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Holiday" and "Wake Me Up When September Ends".

"American Idiot" became Green Day's first Top 5 single in the United Kingdom, reaching #3, and peaked at #7 in Australia. It debuted at #1 in Canada, holding onto the zenith position for five weeks.

 

"I Like the Way (You Move)" is a single by Australian DJ duo the BodyRockers, released in 2005. The song's chorus is based on Billy Idol's rock hit 'Mony Mony'.

This single reached #3 in 2005 in the UK and became a huge hit, having an amazing chartrun of almost 60 weeks. It is currently still on the lower part of the chart. The song is now becoming a hit in the US, currently climbing the pop charts following its feature in a Diet Coke ("Loft") commercial.

It peaked at number nine on the Canadian Singles Chart, and it fell to number nineteen in its second week. In the edition of week 34 in the Dutch Top 40, the song entered at #39. The song features a sample which is almost identical to the beat of Deep Dish's 'Flashdance', however this has never been officially acknowledged, although the similarities are obvious. It is unsure whether a direct sample was used.
