LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Warner Bros. Records) - Multi-platinum rock band Green Day took home the award for Favorite Alternative Rock Music Artist last night at the 2009 American Music Awards.
This is the Bay Area band's second win in this category, having earned the same honor in 2005.

Green Day, which is singer guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool, also won three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in September, including 'Best Rock Video,' for the video for their platinum single '21 Guns,' which the band performed on the AMA telecast last night.

'21 Guns' is the second single from the band's eighth studio album 21st Century Breakdown, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts.

21st Century Breakdown, which Rolling Stone has called 'a rock opera in which the rock always comes first,' also topped the charts in 24 countries including the UK, Canada, and Japan.
