Linkin Park Nearly Doubles The Competition's Chart Success
Linkin Park dominates the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart in the U.K. with seven songs, more ... More than any other rock act this week.

To this day, Linkin Park remains one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the modern era. In the United Kingdom, the group continues to find space on the charts — not just with the classics that made the nu-metal favorites superstars a quarter-century ago, but also with comeback tunes released just months ago.
Such longevity is rare among rock acts, especially those that helped pioneer a style many would argue has largely disappeared. But Linkin Park continues to stand out as a commercial force, both with full-length projects and singles.
This week, the group dominates one songs chart in the U.K., with multiple comeback cuts appearing near one another. Linkin Park manages to beat all other rock groups from every era with ease, and almost doubles the total sum of a handful of the biggest and best to ever do it.
Linkin Park fills seven spaces on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart this week. The tally, which ranks the bestselling tunes in those styles, only features 40 spots, so claiming even just a handful of positions is quite the coup.
Half of Linkin Park's current hits return to the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart. "One Step Closer," "What I've Done," and "Heavy" reenter the list at Nos. 30, 34, and 39, respectively.
Four other tracks by Linkin Park — "Numb," "The Emptiness Machine," "Faint," and "Up From the Bottom" — are also still present on the Official Rock and Metal Singles chart at the moment. "Numb" is the highest-ranking of the bunch, as it holds at No. 9. Both "The Emptiness Machine" and "Faint" climb from where they sat last time, this week settling at Nos. 13 and 28, respectively. "Up From the Bottom," meanwhile, reverses course and drops from No. 27 to No. 35.
Linkin Park's seven current hits become even more impressive when compared to the next most successful names on the Official Rock and Metal Singles tally. Both Queen and AC/DC are tied for the second-most smashes this time around, with four apiece. Linkin Park nearly matches those bands' cumulative sum.

Where's Marty McFly's guitar? Search is on for 'Back to the Future' prop 4 decades later
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Marty McFly grabbed a guitar in 'Back to the Future' and rocked out with the band at a 1950s high school dance, helping him narrowly avoid blinking out of existence before time-traveling back to the 1980s. The guitar, in real life, wasn't as lucky. Filmmakers went looking for the instrument while making the movie's 1989 sequel, but even now it's nowhere to be found. Four decades after the blockbuster film debuted, the guitar's creator has launched a search for the iconic Cherry Red Gibson ES-345. Gibson, which is based in Nashville, is asking the public for help tracking it down as the movie turns 40 and as the company produces a new documentary about the search and the film, 'Lost to the Future.' In a video by Gibson, with the movie's theme song playing in the background, 'Back to the Future' stars such as Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Harry Waters Jr. make a cinematic plea. There's also a surprise appearance by Huey Lewis, whose band Huey Lewis and the News performed the soundtrack's headliner song, 'The Power of Love.' Lloyd, in the cadence of Doc Brown, says in the video that the guitar has been 'lost to the future.' 'It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum,' says Fox, who played McFly. 'Or it's in some Teamster's garage.' In the film, McFly steps in for an injured band member at the 1955 school dance with the theme 'Enchantment under the Sea,' playing the guitar as students slow dance to 'Earth Angel.' He then leads Marvin Barry and the Starlighters in a rendition of 'Johnny B. Goode,' calling it an oldie where he comes was from even though the 1958 song doesn't exist yet for his audience. Fox said he wanted McFly to riff through his favorite guitarists' signature styles — Jimi Hendrix behind the head, Pete Townshend's windmill and the Eddie Van Halen hammer. After digging and dancing to 'Johnny B. Goode,' the students at the dance fall into an awkward silence as McFly's riffs turn increasingly wild. 'I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet,' McFly says. 'But your kids are gonna love it.'

‘Difficult times,' ‘screaming matches,' and ‘abandonment': David Duchovny and Chris Carter rehash their drama on ‘The X-Files'
Tuesday on David Duchovny's Fail Better podcast, the actor reunited with The X-Files creator Chris Carter to rehash the good times and also the "difficult times" during their time working on the Emmy-winning sci-fi hit about FBI agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) investigating unexplained phenomenon. The program aired on Fox from 1993 to 2002, with two feature films in 1998 and 2008, and a two-season revival in 2016 and 2018. Duchovny began by saying that it's "obvious history" that his "entire career was made possible by The X-Files." The actor then delved into the troubles behind the scenes when he left after Season 7. (Mulder appeared in half of Season 8 and in the original series finale in Season 9). More from GoldDerby Emma D'Arcy takes a break from filming 'House of the Dragon' Season 3 to talk riding dragons, 'Westerosi jet lag,' and Season 2's 'momentous' moments Jason Schwartzman on the breakneck 'Mountainhead' production: 'I've never done anything like it in my life' 'Étoile' creators say cinematographer M. David Mullen was their 'film school' "Something lost in the times that we've done a reboot of the show, twice now, and even the second movie, goes back to me leaving the show," Duchovny declared. "We don't have to, like, hash it out, but I realized later that that was a difficult thing to do. You may have been as tired as I was, or as wanting to move on much as I was. I consider myself a team player, so I've always felt a bit of an abandonment, not by you, but of you, in that sense. I don't know if we're going for any resolution here or anything like that, this is not the VH1 version." Carter confirmed that by Season 7, "We were all tired. We had made a big move from Vancouver to Los Angeles. We had done well over 100 episodes. There were legal, contractual things going on that were fraught, and you and I had a parting. We became — I don't want to say mortal enemies — but it was a difficult time." The showrunner recalled that Duchovny came to him after he'd worked out "legally with Fox that he would leave the show for a time." Carter considered those years that they were "at odds" to be a "forgettable part of the show" for remembered a time when he was engaged in a "lawsuit with Fox [over compensation from reruns airing on FX] while working on the Fox lot, and actually had my security sweep my trailer for bugs. We were afraid that we were being bugged." When Carter ran into Duchovny around that time in Malibu, outside of the show, he hugged him out of "reflex," explaining, "I think it surprised both of us." The artisans also talked about their "screaming matches" in Vancouver during Season 11, which Duchovny said was a misunderstanding regarding him wanting to catch an "early flight back home," and unintentionally making Carter think he was trying to "simplify his work" in directing the episode. "After 11 seasons, I'd just had it with you," Carter joked as the men laughed. SEEEverything to know about Ryan Coogler's 'The X-Files' reboot: Gillian Anderson finally weighs in Their time together wasn't all bad. "Watching you write, watching you shepherd the other writers on The X-Files, I re-learned a love for plot and for the smart machinery that keeps somebody guessing that goes to the highs and lows," Duchovny told his former boss. "Without that, I think I'd be making nonsensical movies that don't go anywhere. It's not about language, it's about the plot, at least in our business." Said Carter, "When I did the pilot for The X-Files, I wrote a 17-page, single-spaced outline, so the story was very important. I didn't just wing it. When we started up the show, we hired writers, James Wong and Glen Morgan came on, and they had been working on Stephen J. Cannell shows, and they brought with them a bulletin board, and we put up 3x5 cards, and that became the way we plotted the episodes." When Duchovny complimented Carter's "perfect" handwriting on those index cards, Carter added, "That was a Glen Morgan thing. He actually had beautiful penmanship, and so that became competitive — who could make the most beautiful cards? We've worked like that ever since, and I think Vince Gilligan still works that way on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul." Duchovny calls the board method "smart," recalling, "We would work on some scripts and we would just take this card, and this scene could maybe go over here, or this scene goes over here, maybe it comes back, maybe it doesn't, and that all makes sense." Fox/Liaison The actor thanked the creator for allowing him to write and direct episodes of The X-Files back in the day, claiming, "I can't repay that thanks. It's really opened me up into another part of who I am." While TV stars of today are "gifted" a producer credit, Duchovny "never wanted to be" because he wanted to "earn it." Duchovny directed three episodes of the series: "The Unnatural" in Season 6, "Hollywood A.D." in Season 7, and "William" in Season 9. "The great thing about The X-Files was that you were surrounded by people who wanted it to be good from the beginning, and that's not, in my experience, always the case. Some people just show up for work." When they shot in Vancouver from Seasons 1 through 5, the positivity was the reason Carter "got up every day to do the job." News was also made on the Fail Better podcast, as Carter announced he'd just been given the "go-ahead" to do a director's cut of the second movie, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, from 2008. "I can't tell you how excited I am about this," he said. "Now I have the chance to make the scary movie that I always intended to make. It's really bringing to life something that, for me, was on the page and never got to the screen." Duchovny is a four-time Emmy nominee for The X-Files (1997, 1998), The Larry Sanders Show (1997), and Life With Bonnie (2003). Carter received eight Emmy nominations overall for producing, writing, and directing The X-Files.
