Linkin Park's Debut Album Is Back In A Big Way
Hybrid Theory Returns to Three Charts
This week, Hybrid Theory appears on six different U.K. albums rankings. The project returns to half of them, doubling the number of charts where it's found.
It's a top 40 seller again on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, reentering at No. 37. The set also returns to both the Official Album Downloads and Official Albums rankings, landing at Nos. 65 and 87, respectively.
Linkin Park Surges Into the Top 10
At the same time it reappears on those three tallies, Hybrid Theory jumps on the other three it already occupied last frame. The set breaks back into the top 10 on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, climbing from No. 11 to No. 6. It also reaches the top 40 on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, improving by more than 10 spaces on each to Nos. 36 and 39, respectively.
Hybrid Theory Has Hit the Top 10 Everywhere
In the past, Hybrid Theory has reached the top 10 on every U.K. chart it's touched, though it has only managed to lead one: the Official Rock and Metal Albums list. Its lowest peak remains the No. 6 position, where it stalled on the Official Vinyl Albums roster.
The album's chart longevity varies widely from list to list. It has only just passed the half-year mark on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, where it is now up to 27 weeks. On the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, however, it has logged more than 1,000 frames and is almost always present somewhere on the tally.
Four Linkin Park Albums Chart Together
Hybrid Theory is one of four Linkin Park releases that are currently charting in the U.K. The band's comeback set From Zero, which arrived less than a year ago, reenters three lists and rises on the Official Rock and Metal Albums chart, where Meteora can also be found. Papercuts, a compilation of many of its biggest hits from before the group's most recent era, is also climbing on several rankings at the same time.

Taylor Swift Reveals Hilarious Xavier Worthy Draft Story on Travis Kelce's Podcast
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In what was arguably the most anticipated podcast episode, possibly ever, pop star Taylor Swift appeared on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. One of the first topics of discussion was how the podcast was actually responsible for Kelce and Swift's relationship after the 10-time Pro Bowler admitted during a 2023 episode that he actually wanted to give the "Fortnight" singer a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it during one of her shows at Arrowhead Stadium, but his timing didn't work out. A clip from that show went viral, prompting Swift to reach out to Kelce, and two years later they're still going strong. While Kelce's public support for Swift and her "Eras Tour" last year was well-documented (he and Jason hyped the world tour up several times on "New Heights" last year), Swift opened up about her growing into a big football fan in support of Kelce. The 14-time Grammy winner disclosed that she didn't know what a first down was, what the NFL's chain gang, or even what a tight end was before dating Kelce, but now she says she's a huge football fan.

In fact, Swift even knew a bit of Chiefs news before Kelce did. The "Shake It Off" singer revealed that on draft night in 2024, she found out the Chiefs had drafted former Texas standout wide receiver Xavier Worthy before Kelce even knew. "I fell in love with it," Swift declared. "I became obsessed with it, I became like a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming, 'We just drafted Xavier Worthy,' and my friends were like what body snatched you? What do you mean we drafted Xavier Worthy?" "I forget where I was, but you were the first person to tell me we drafted the fastest man in the draft," Kelce chimed in.

Meet Taylor Swift's Parents and Brother: All About Scott, Andrea, and Austin Swift
The pop icon joked that they're 'a small family business' in Points Taylor Swift's parents are Scott Swift, a former vice president at Merrill Lynch, and Andrea Swift, a former marketing executive. The Swifts welcomed Taylor, their first child, on December 13, 1989. They welcomed their son, Austin Swift, on March 11, 1992. Taylor's brother Austin is an actor and producer who's worked on several of her music Swift's journey to becoming a pop superstar started with her family's support. Swift's parents, Scott and Andrea Swift, and her brother, Austin Swift, have been there for the 'Cruel Summer' singer-songwriter since day one. When Taylor got a development deal with RCA Records at just 13 years old, the family uprooted themselves from Pennsylvania to the Nashville area for her career. 'My parents were unbelievable,' she recalled in a 2019 interview on CBS Sunday Morning. 'I will never forget that. And my brother [Austin]. My brother's a real bro for doing that." 'I buy them lots of presents,' the artist added with a laugh. It all began with a love story: Scott Swift, a stockbroker (and later, vice president at Merrill Lynch) married former mutual fund marketing executive Andrea Swift in February 1988. The couple welcomed their first child, Taylor Alison Swift, on December 13, 1989. They expanded their family a little over two years later, welcoming son Austin Kingsley Swift on March 11, 1992. The family initially raised Taylor and Austin in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania before moving to just outside Nashville for their daughter's music career. Taylor's 2021 song 'Christmas Tree Farm' reflects on her early years in the Keystone State. 'It was an actual Christmas tree farm. We had, like, 15 acres. It was really fun as a kid,' she told Philadelphia magazine of her childhood home in a 2008 interview. Although she's gone from everyday girl to global sensation, the 14-time Grammy winner remains close to her family. Her parents attended several shows on her sold-out Eras Tour, while her brother Austin collaborated with Taylor as a producer for her ACM-nominated 'I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)' music video. Below, here's everything to know about Taylor Swift's family. Scott Swift Before he was known to Swifties as Taylor's dad, Scott Swift was a stockbroker and Vice President of Merrill Lynch. Per the financial firm's website, he joined the company in 1980. As shown in the 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana, Scott didn't leave his strategic background behind as Taylor's career took off—he actually played a major part in her business management team. He's also held the role of typical embarrassing dad, as the singer revealed in a 2009 MySpace post. 'My dad is along the ride for this trip. He's a social butterfly, and loves being on tour,' she wrote. 'He loves it so much, he thinks it's absolutely hilarious to embarrass me as much as possible. For example, walking into the hotel lobby after returning from dinner[…] from out of nowhere: 'HEY! THAT'S TAYLOR SWIFT!!' Me: 'Dad. Please stop doing that.' ' In 2023, Scott attended the opening night of the Eras Tour, with Taylor sharing pictures to her Instagram Stories of the backstage pass she created for him. The DIY card read 'D.O.H. Pass (Dad of Headliner),' an adorable memento for one of her biggest cheerleaders. "Made my Dad's tour credential," the Midnights singer captioned the picture, adding, "We are a small family business." Besides the obvious ways he's encouraged his daughter, the former finance executive has also made subtler shifts—like going from a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan to a Kansas City Chiefs fan after some convincing from Taylor's boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. "What are we doing, Scott?' Travis's brother Jason Kelce, a former Eagles player, joked on the brothers' New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast in 2023. 'You're gonna let this man's devilishly good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott? This is ridiculous.' Taylor's also been there for her father when he needed it most. After the 73-year-old underwent quintuple bypass surgery in the summer of 2025, People reported that Taylor, her brother Austin, and their mom Andrea were by his side throughout the surgery and the recovery process. Andrea Swift Taylor Swift's mom, Andrea Swift, was the subject of one of the country-turned-pop icon's earliest songs. In the 2008 track 'The Best Day,' Taylor references various happy memories she made with Andrea and their family growing up. During one Eras Tour show, the artist told the audience about how she created the song without her mom's knowledge to surprise her. The first time Andrea, 67, heard it, she didn't realize it was about their relationship. 'I was like, 'Mom, I wrote it and recorded it secretly, it is our memories,' Taylor explained to the crowd of the Fearless track, per Billboard. 'It was the sweetest thing ever because I just think she couldn't have comprehended that I would write a song about the two of us.'Before becoming Taylor's number-one fan and confidant, Andrea Swift used to work in finance like her husband Scott. Various sources report that she served as a marketing executive at a mutual fund. She left her job to help a then-teenage Taylor take on the competitive country music scene. When Taylor signed with then-indie label Big Machine, per a 2008 Entertainment Weekly profile, there weren't many employees yet—so Andrea stepped up to help. '[W]hen they were releasing my first single, my mom and I came in to help stuff the CD singles into envelopes to send to radio. We sat out on the floor and did it because there wasn't furniture at the label yet." In 2015, The Life of a Showgirl artist revealed that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer in an emotional Tumblr post. "I'd like to keep the details of her condition and treatment plans private, but she wanted you to know," Taylor wrote to her fans, per People. While she ultimately recovered, her cancer returned in 2019, Swift shared in an essay for Elle. "It's taught me that there are real problems and then there's everything else. My mom's cancer is a real problem,' Taylor, then 29, explained. Swift's 2019 Lover song, 'Soon You'll Get Better,' chronicles Andrea's experience with the devastating illness. The track features country act The Chicks. "Everyone loves their mom; everyone's got an important mom," Taylor told Variety in January 2020, revealing in the same interview that her mother had been diagnosed with a brain tumor during her cancer treatment. "But for me, she's really the guiding force,' she continued. 'Almost every decision I make, I talk to her about it first. So obviously it was a really big deal to ever speak about her illness." Alongside husband Scott, Andrea attended several shows on the Eras Tour, including one of the final concerts in December 2024. The proud parents were spotted hugging in the crowd at that show as Taylor performed a mashup of songs 'Never Grow Up' and 'The Best Day,' according to a video captured by a fan. Austin Swift Scott and Andrea Swift welcomed their second child, son Austin Kingsley Swift, on March 11, 1992. He was born in West Reading, Pennsylvania. Along with his big sister, he grew up on the family Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania until the early 2000s, when the family moved to Tennessee. Austin graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2015, receiving a bachelor's degree in film studies, per People. Like Taylor, he was drawn to a career in entertainment—not making music, but movies. The younger Swift sibling told Vanity Fair in 2017 that his love of acting came from taking solace in films as an outcast child who 'didn't have a lot of friends.' 'I would go to the movies, and Daniel Craig was my friend, and Christian Bale was my friend, and Clive Owen was my friend, and Viggo Mortensen was my friend,' he explained to the outlet. His feature film debut came one year post-grad, when he acted alongside Pierce Brosnan in the crime thriller I.T. His other acting credits include Live By Night, a 2016 gangster epic starring Ben Affleck, and 2019 indie dramedy Braking for Whales, according to his IMDB profile. Behind the camera, the 33-year-old has produced several projects with his A-list sister over the years. The siblings teamed up on her music videos for 'You Belong with Me,' 'Mean,' and 'I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version),' as well as the 2020 special 'Taylor Swift: Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions.' On Swift's 29th birthday in 2018, Austin penned a heartfelt tribute to his older sibling on his Instagram account. 'It is a singularly beautiful thing to see magic right in front of your eyes. After nearly three decades of that happening time and time again, the effect hasn't worn off. 'I have always had a best friend, a role model, and a caring, tireless, dedicated champion in my corner,' he continued. 'You have pulled me out of fires and carried me up mountains. The gift of getting to witness you become the wonderful person you are today has been the greatest privilege and honor of my life.' As for Austin's personal life, the actor-producer has been romantically linked to model Sydney Ness since 2022. According to People, the couple were spotted rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs at the 2024 Super Bowl alongside Taylor, Andrea, and Scott Swift.
