The song "Longview" was officially recorded on charts and in chart books as "Long View" at the time the single was in its heyday. Since then the single-word spelling has prevailed. Today, Wikipedia, All Music Guide, and Green Day CD compilations all use that spelling. The "Dookie" album is slotted here the first week "Longview" hit the top 10 on the Modern Rock airplay chart, which is when the album broke into the top 60 on the Billboard 200.
