Linkin Park has already demonstrated that its comeback is one of the most exciting in recent memory, but the band isn't done showing just how beloved it remains to this day. The band's latest single, 'Up From the Bottom,' has been rocketing up the Billboard charts since its release a few weeks ago, and this frame, it enjoys a major lift that not only adds to the group's long list of smashes, but also helps it pull ahead of some legendary peers in the alternative space.
'Up From the Bottom' climbs from No. 11 to No. 7 on the Alternative Airplay chart. That Billboard ranking tracks the tunes that rack up the largest total number of audience impressions across U.S. radio stations that specialize in alternative music. The cut is now another major single for Linkin Park, one which helps the rockers push past some familiar faces.
By lifting into the top 10 once again, Linkin Park claims its twenty second top 10 hit on the Alternative Airplay ranking. Last week, the group was locked in a three-way tie with fellow favorites Pearl Jam and Weezer, all sitting with 21 appearances each inside the coveted upper region. Now, Linkin Park breaks free, standing alone with the fifth-most top 10 placements in the history of the Alternative Airplay chart.
While Linkin Park continues to climb this all-time ranking, it still trails a few genre giants. Foo Fighters reign supreme with 31 top 10 hits on Alternative Airplay chart, and the rockers maintain a sizable lead. Just behind that act come the Red Hot Chili Peppers with 28, Green Day with 27, and U2 with 23.
'Up From the Bottom' serves as the lead single from Linkin Park's forthcoming deluxe reissue of From Zero, the album that marked its celebrated comeback late last year. The expanded version of the project is expected to arrive in May.
As 'Up From the Bottom' continues to surge, Linkin Park is keeping promotion of the upcoming set going. On Friday (April 25), the band dropped 'Unshattered,' the second official single from the From Zero deluxe project. That tune could impact Billboard's charts in the coming days – and perhaps eventually even become another radio success story.
