Linkin Park Scores Several Top-Selling Albums As Classics And New Titles Return

Linkin Park charts four albums in the U.K. this week, with Papercuts holding steady and Hybrid ... More Theory, Meteora, and From Zero all reentering.

This week on the music charts in the United Kingdom, Linkin Park sees four albums appear on at least one tally apiece. All but one of them land on multiple lists. The fact that the group — which is only actively promoting one of the efforts — sees so many titles appear on the rosters is impressive. What's even more notable this time around is that all but one of those projects reappears. Some of them bounce back onto multiple tallies, while one breaks back in on just a single list.
The consumption of Linkin Park's music is always high, but with Record Store Day releases disappearing from the weekly rankings in the U.K., there's more room for holdovers like the hard rock outfit's continued and constant bestsellers.
Among all three of Linkin Park's comebacks, the group's most recent full-length is the big winner. From Zero — which returned the musicians from a hiatus of more than half a decade — reenters both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts at No. 43.
In a bit of coincidence and yet another show of neverending popularity, Hybrid Theory — the full-length that started it all — also manages to reappear on both the general sales ranking and the list that concerns itself only with the bestselling titles on CD, vinyl, and cassette. Hybrid Theory lands on those two tallies once more at No. 60.
It's not terribly uncommon for the same album to appear in the same position on these two rosters…though it's far more frequently seen that efforts come in just a few spaces apart and don't land in the exact spot on multiple lists, due to a variety of sales factors.
Meteora is Linkin Park's third and final comeback on the U.K. rankings this time around. It breaks back onto the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart in last place at No. 40. The title is also celebrating a major milestone, as it reaches 400 weeks somewhere on the U.K.'s ranking of the bestselling full-lengths and EPs in those styles.
Linkin Park fills a trio of spots on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart this week. As Meteora returns, both From Zero and Hybrid Theory bounce back into the top 10. The newest of the bunch jumps from No. 11 to No. 5, while the group's groundbreaking debut full-length bolts from No. 14 to No. 9.
In addition to all of Linkin Park's comebacks, one collection holds on, as even Record Store Day couldn't push it off the charts. Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000–2023 is still present, just as it was last frame, and it appears on two tallies that From Zero, Hybrid Theory and Meteora do not reach. It keeps at No. 29 on the Official Albums chart, a general consumption ranking of the most popular efforts in the country. It also drops just a few spots on the Official Albums Streaming tally, as fans continue to flock to platforms like Spotify to listen to Linkin Park's most successful tunes, which are gathered together on this compilation. The set was released in early 2024, just a few months before the band began promoting From Zero.

Linkin Park's Debut Smash Becomes A Landmark Hit For The Band

Linkin Park's 'In the End' spends a tenth week at No. 1 on Billboard's Hard Rock Streaming Songs ... More chart, a first for the band. AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - SEPTEMBER 24: Chester Bennington of Linkin Park performs live on stage at Heineken Music Hall on September 24, 2001 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. (Photo by Paul Bergen/Redferns) Linkin Park has spent the past half-year promoting its latest album, From Zero. The full-length saw the group reform with new members and produce highly-desired new music for the first time in years, following a hiatus taken after the death of frontman Chester Bennington. Just weeks after releasing a deluxe edition of From Zero, which included several new cuts, the project has completely disappeared from the Billboard charts. Only a handful of tunes from the effort are still present. That doesn't mean Linkin Park is fading, though, as the group's back catalog remains incredibly popular. In fact, the band continues to dominate one tally in the United States, and the rock outfit's leader has nothing to do with its latest drop. Linkin Park is once again in charge of the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. 'In the End' stands out as the most successful hard rock cut in the U.S. on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Decades after its release, it still manages to outpace every other tune by the band — even those released more recently. As 'In the End' holds at No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, the track earns its milestone tenth week ruling that list. That's a first for the group, which has long reigned as one of the most commercially successful in the genre. Linkin Park has only collected three leaders on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. 'In the End' is actually the most recent of the trio, following both 'Lost' and 'The Emptiness Machine.' The track only hit the top spot in October 2024 — a month after 'The Emptiness Machine' introduced the band's upcoming album From Zero and debuted in first place. 'In the End' has now spent more time at No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally than both 'The Emptiness Machine' and 'Lost' combined. 'Lost' managed just one frame atop the ranking in February 2023, while 'The Emptiness Machine' collected five. Both 'In the End' and 'Numb' are still tied as Linkin Park's longest-running tracks on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list, as each has accrued 263 appearances on the list, holding on for just over five years. 'Numb' has never managed to rule, unlike 'In the End.' It has come close, as it's stalled in the runner-up space. It's one of several tracks by the band that has come close, but never reached the summit.

Going to a festival this summer? Pack these 5 gadgets to maximize the fun

I'm an avid concert and festival goer. Almost every month, I'm seeing either a big band at a stadium or an indie artist at an intimate venue. As someone who just danced her heart out to Charli XCX and will be headbanging to Linkin Park soon, I know the importance of carrying the right gadgets with you to a festival. It's important not to underestimate the importance of a comfy pair of shoes, or a pair of earplugs that could save your hearing. Concerts and festivals aren't cheap, so you obviously want to make the most of them. Whether you're headed to Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. or Lollapalooza in the U.S., I've rounded up the 5 gadgets and accessories you need to pack for your next summer festival. Let me take you through them all... There is nothing worse than your smartphone or cameras running out of charge in the middle of an artist's set or when you're trying to coordinate a rendezvous location with your friends. A portable charger or power bank is a necessity, whether you're at a three-day festival or a five-hour gig. Thankfully, there are many power banks available, catering to all budgets and needs. Sleek, lightweight and powerful: the UGREEN Nexode can charge an iPhone 15 to up to 60% in 30 minutes. Whatever you may need some emergency power for, from your smartphone all the way up to a MacBook Pro, this can deliver it. If you're on a budget, my pick is the UGREEN Nexode 12,000mAh 100W, available for $49 / £49 at Amazon. This power bank is highly portable (as small as a standard Coke can) and its weight is negligible, so its easy to carry in your pocket or backpack. At 12,000mAh and 100W, the Nexode can charge smartphones, cameras and even MacBooks. For reference, this power bank can charge an iPhone 15 to up to 60% in 30 minutes. This is a fantastic deal and, really, this power bank will definitely come in clutch. Who doesn't like recording their favorite artists performing their favorite songs? I do. I have countless videos stored on my Google Pixel 7 Pro of when I saw Roger Waters. Green Day, Paramore, etc. But boy does storage fill up quick when you're capturing footage and photos too. If you're a chronic snapper, I'd recommend grabbing a compact camera, and my recommendation is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a wonderful tool for vloggers and content creators, providing an affordable gimbal solution to give their video a professional look. It features awesome stabilization, strong low light performance and great battery life, all the while capturing stunning 4K footage. Well, it's not really a compact camera. It's a gimbal camera, which means you're getting stabilized footage, even when you're swaying to the beat or dancing. The Osmo Pocket 3 captures stunning, stable 4K/60p video, even in dimly lit environments, it boasts long battery life (up to two hours), and it supports microSD cards up to 1TB — perfect for festivals. You'd be surprised at the number of people I've seen carrying these nifty gadgets around at U.K. gigs and festivals! You can check out the sample footage in our DJI Osmo Pocket 3 review. If you have space in your backpack, take an instant camera with you. There's nothing like snapping a pic in the moment and not worrying about whether it's perfect or not — and instant camera help you preserve memories by printing them on lovely film, often with a vintage aesthetic. The Fujifilm Instax mini 12 is the greatest instant camera for festivals, in my opinion. The Fujifilm Instax mini 12 is an extremely easy-to-use instant camera that takes bright and detailed photos, even in low light. It comes with a handy app to scan and share your prints, a selfie mirror and a close-up mode for more versatile shots. Extremely easy to use with very limited buttons, the Instax mini 12 can be used by virtually anyone. It takes lovely photos in bright conditions, and there's even a selfie mirror and close-up mode for when you want to take a picture with your friends or family. Photos develop quickly and there's a handy app for scanning prints in case you want to share them on social media. There are many, many instant cameras to choose from but for those who want a no-frills one for festival snaps, the Instax mini 12 is the right fit. When you're in your early 20s, you don't necessarily realize the importance of earplugs, or the damage loud speakers at gigs and festivals can cause to your ears. I didn't either, and it was only recently when, at an indie gig, I stood right next to a gargantuan speaker and felt my eardrums ringing. It was painful, and I decided to finally get myself a pair of Loop earplugs. Perfect for festivals, concerts and even if you live next to a nightclub, the Loop Experience 2 earplugs filter noise by 17dB so music stays clear but at a safer volume. They're sleek and look great, and they'll stay put even when you're headbanging or dancing. The Loop Experience 2 earplugs are well worth the investment. First of all, they filter noise by 17dB, ensuring music stays clear but at a safer volume. Also, they look cool. They're available in a few colorways — black, gold, rose gold and silver — so you can get the pair that goes best with your outfit. They also come with four different eartip sizes for the perfect fit and serving people with small and big ears alike. They're built to stay in, so I know when I'm headbanging to Linkin Park's The Emptiness Machine in a week, I won't need to worry about losing them. My mom always says that you can't enjoy yourself unless you're wearing comfortable shoes — and she is so right about that. Many festivals need you to run from stage to stage so that you don't miss the next act, and many concerts involve you standing around and jumping for hours. You, of course, need a comfy pair of shoes. My pick? The Keen Zionic Mid Waterproofs. The Keen Zionic Mid Waterproof are some of the most comfortable hiking boots I've ever used. Their cushioned insoles put a spring in your step while the grippy outsoles let you confidently navigate treacherous terrain. They're quick to dry, too. Adding to their appeal is the lovely design that makes them great for everyday use. Technically, these are hiking boots, but I think they look cool enough to pass as regular-day walking shoes — I would know, I've been wearing them to work regularly. These waterproof boots dry quickly, and their 4mm directional lugs help you get a better grip in both wet and dry conditions. Come rain or shine, you'll be absolutely fine wearing these. I wore the Zionic Mids to a Twenty One Pilots concert, and dancing around felt like walking on clouds because of how bouncy the soles are. Also, the strong traction meant that I didn't slip or skid even once on the wet/sticky floor. Aaaand there you have it! Those are the top 5 gadgets and accessories you need to get before you head to a festival this summer. All of them are extremely important as you want to stay comfortable while capturing memories that may last a lifetime. If nothing else, at least grab some earplugs — trust me, you'll thank me in a few years when your hearing is still at 100%.

Linkin Park Shares the Rappers They Still Want to Work With

Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda has shouted out Doechii as one of his dream collaborators. In a sit-down with Drink Champs, Linkin Park's Shinoda and Joe Hahn rattled off a few of the biggest hip-hop figures they'd love to make music with. On Shinoda's list was Wu-Tang Clan, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, the Creator and André 3000. He then added Ms. Lauryn Hill and gave a special shout out to Queen Latifah. 'She's so confident and she's not like selling sex,' Shinoda said around the 1:30 mark, adding, 'She felt like a role model.'

Military Parade Shinoda then realized the error of his ways and quickly added Doechii to the top of the roster. 'Oh, Doechii. Why didn't I say Doechii? … I should've said Doechii earlier.' After scrolling through his phone to jog his memory of female rappers, he then also added: 'Doja [Cat]'s dope.' If any of these collaborations do happen, it would hardly mark the first time LP teamed up with a hip-hop star. The band most notably linked with Jay-Z for a hit mash-up of 'Numb / Encore' from their joint 2004 Collision Course EP. Linkin Park also later collaborated with Rakim for their 2014 single 'Guilty All the Same' and Pusha T and Stormzy on 2017's 'Good Goodbye.' Hayley Williams recently celebrated Doechii's impact in a heartfelt tribute penned for Them. In the piece, the Paramore singer praised the Swamp Princess in part for her memorable performance at the 2022 BET Awards. 'Watching her on that stage, I had the same feeling I did the first time I saw Missy Elliott on MTV as a kid,' Williams said. 'It was raw, bold, unmistakable talent — the kind that doesn't wait for permission. She came out swinging, and I remember thinking, 'Oh, she's taking it. This is hers.''
