Linkin Park Perform ‘In the End', ‘Numb' at UEFA Final in Munich

Linkin Park delivered a four-song set ahead of the UEFA Champions League final in Munich on Saturday night (June 1), continuing their return to the live stage with performances of 'The Emptiness Machine,' 'In the End,' 'Numb,' and 'Heavy Is the Crown.'
Taking the stage at Munich Football Arena just before kickoff between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, the band's appearance served as a high-profile preview of their upcoming world tour, which supports their latest album, From Zero, released last year.

The set marked another major step in the band's evolution following the addition of vocalist Emily Armstrong, who officially joined the lineup last September. Armstrong's debut sparked conversation online, including public commentary from the late Chester Bennington's family and discussion around her past professional affiliations.
From Zero is Linkin Park's first studio album since 2017's One More Light, released just months before Bennington's death.
At the band's first show with their new lineup last year, co-founder Mike Shinoda addressed the crowd, saying, 'We are thrilled to be back out here. It is not about erasing the past. It is about starting this new chapter into the future and coming out here for each and every one of you.'
Shinoda expanded on that sentiment during a guest appearance on The Tonight Show, explaining, 'I think the important thing for us is that we never set out to, like, 'Let's bring the band back' or 'Let's find a singer.' That was never our intention or our goal.'
The album debuted at No. 1 on all of the above charts last November, except for the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales, where it arrived at No. 2. Following its deluxe reissue with additional tracks on May 16, From Zero recently returned to Top Album Sales (at No. 5), Top Hard Rock Albums (No. 4), Vinyl Albums (No. 8), Top Alternative Albums (No. 9), Top Rock Albums (No. 15), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 17), Indie Store Album Sales (No. 17) and the Billboard 200 (No. 71) charts dated May 31.
The North American leg of Linkin Park's upcoming tour is set to kick off July 29 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The run will include stops across the U.S. through August and September, including a major date at Dodger Stadium with Queens of the Stone Age, before it wraps Sept. 24 in Seattle.

Rosé Matches BTS As Her Single Remains A Bestseller

Rosé's 'Apt.' ties BTS's 'Dynamite' as the longest-running K-pop hit on the Digital Song Sales ... More chart, as the tune earns its thirty-fourth week on the Billboard tally. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 07: Rosé, aka Roseanne Park MBE, is seen in Midtown on December 07, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) Rosé's single 'Apt.' is the rare song from a K-pop artist that not only earns a lofty debut on the Billboard charts in America, but also manages to stick around. The track has maintained its impressive performance across all relevant consumption metrics in the United States for months, continuing to rank as a top streamer, radio favorite, and bestselling cut. At this point, the tune has been making history and breaking records thanks to its longevity, and this frame is no different, as it remains one of the top-selling titles in America yet again. Rosé's 'Apt.' Remains a Bestseller Rosé's collaboration with Bruno Mars is still present on the Digital Song Sales chart, dropping from No. 17 to No. 20. This latest turn marks the thirty-fourth week for 'Apt.' on Billboard's ranking of the bestselling individual tracks of any style or language in the U.S. on platforms like iTunes. As it turns out, that's a very special number for Rosé. Rosé Ties BTS for a Longevity Record 'Apt.' is now tied with 'Dynamite' by BTS as the longest-running tune by any K-pop artist in the history of the Digital Song Sales chart. Both cuts have lived on the list for 34 frames. Whether 'Apt.' can manage just one more stay is yet to be seen. The sales tally only features 25 spots, and 'Apt.' is close to falling off the roster. In the past tracking period, Luminate reports that the global smash sold 1,900 copies, a number which is down from the frame before. Depending on the competition it faces and how fans of Rosé and Mars show up, the Blackpink singer could soon break her tie with BTS. Or, there's a chance the two will remain tied. Rosé Also Beats BTS Star Jimin 'Apt.' has lived on many Billboard charts for more than 30 weeks, and it's still going. The tune breaks Rosé's tie with 'Who' by Jimin, and 'Apt.' now stands as the longest-charting track by any K-pop act in Hot 100 history with a thirty-fourth stay on that tally this time around. The cut is also still present on the Streaming Songs and Radio Songs charts, as well as a handful of pop radio rankings.

Forrest Frank Rules Top Gabb Music Songs Chart for Second Month, Charts 5 Songs in All

Forrest Frank's 'Your Way's Better' stalled the three-month reign of Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' 'Die With a Smile' on the monthly Top Gabb Music Songs chart when it reached No. 1 on the April 2025 tally, and now he's joined Gaga and Mars as the only other act with a multi-month No. 1, reigning again on the May 2025 survey. Billboard has partnered with Gabb Wireless, a phone company for kids and teens, to present a monthly chart tracking on-demand streams via its Gabb Music platform. Gabb Music offers a vast catalog of songs, all of which are selected by the Gabb team to include only kid- and teen-appropriate content. Gabb Music streams are not currently factored into any other Billboard charts.

The song has topped the Hot Christian Songs chart for the last five weeks (dating to May 24) and has reached a best so far of No. 61 on the all-format Billboard Hot 100. It ranks at No. 68 on the latest list. 'Your Way's Better' is one of a whopping five Frank songs on the May 2025 Top Gabb Music Songs chart, thanks to a pair of debuts joining the three songs he already boasted on the ranking. 'No L's' and 'B.I.G.' debut at Nos. 14 and 19, respectively, while 'Drop!' reaches a new peak of No. 13 and 'Up!,' a collaboration with Connor Price, remains at its No. 25 best. Frank's five songs on the ranking equals the record set by Imagine Dragons on the inaugural Top Gabb Music Songs list for October 2024 — though notably, while Frank has the No. 1 song, Imagine Dragons' best that month was No. 16, with 'Bones.' Other moves on the latest chart include a three-spot leap for Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' which reaches a new peak of No. 3 after its No. 6 debut on the April tally. 'Ordinary' has spent two weeks so far at No. 1 on the Hot 100, beginning with the June 7 survey. The only non-Frank debut of the week belongs to Morgan Wallen, whose 'What I Want,' which features Tate McRae, starts at No. 11. It was also a No. 1 on the Hot 100, debuting atop the May 31 list.

Lil Wayne's 15-Year-Old Son Scores His First Chart Hit

Lil Wayne debuts 17 tracks from Tha Carter VI on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, including ... More a father-son collab with Kameron Carter titled "Rari." DALLAS, TEXAS - MAY 26: Lil Wayne performs onstage during Night 2 of the TwoGether Land Music Festival at Fair Park on May 26, 2024 in Dallas, Texas. (Photo by) Lil Wayne is having another big week on the charts in the United States. His new album Tha Carter VI, debuts at No. 1 on a number of Billboard rankings, and he invades several of the hip-hop and rap-focused tallies with multiple tracks from the full-length. This is not an unusual performance for one of the biggest stars to ever rap, but this latest slew of smashers may be special to the Grammy winner, as he's made his newest effort a family affair. Kameron Carter Scores His First Billboard Hit Kameron Carter, Wayne's son, earns what appears to be his first Billboard hit this week. The 15-year-old, whose mother is actress Lauren London, collaborates with his father on the track 'Rari.' The Tha Carter VI album cut opens at No. 47 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, which ranks the most consumed tunes in those styles across the U.S., blending sales and streaming data as well as radio airplay. Lil Wayne Floods the Charts With Tha Carter VI Carter may only be credited on one track, but Wayne lands 17 new hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week, all taken from Tha Carter VI. The rapper didn't push any singles from the full-length before dropping the project in full, so excitement around these tunes is especially high at the moment. Lil Wayne Extends His Impressive Chart History Throughout his career, Wayne has collected an incredible 234 hits on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Included in that massive number are 53 top 10s — a figure he adds to with just one track this frame, as the aptly titled 'Hip-Hop,' a collaboration with BigXthaPlug and Jay Jones, opens at No. 8. He's also landed an even dozen champions thus far.
