Linkin Park Dominates One Chart As An Early-Career Smash Returns
This week is the biggest in a while for Linkin Park when it comes to the music charts in the United Kingdom. The hard rock group has four albums on at least one list apiece, and multiple bestsellers return to tallies as fans in that country turn to not only the group's debut full-length, but also its most recent. Linkin Park doesn't only perform well when it comes to albums. The Grammy-winning act also dominates one singles tally – not by landing at No. 1 but by soaring with a career's worth of hits. Linkin Park Scores Half a Dozen Rock Hits Linkin Park fills half a dozen spots on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. The tally, which looks specifically at the bestselling tracks in rock or metal in the U.K., only features 40 spaces, so this frame LP occupies 15% of all available real estate. 'Numb,' 'Somewhere I Belong' and 'The Emptiness Machine' Five of Linkin Park's current wins rise from where they sat last week. 'Numb,' 'Somewhere I Belong,' 'The Emptiness Machine,' 'What I've Done,' and 'Faint' lift to Nos. 11, 20, 23, 28, and 38, respectively. Of that bunch, 'Numb' enjoys the grandest climb, as it ascends from No. 17 to No. 11. 'Faint,' meanwhile, only steps up one spot. 'One Step Closer' Reappears 'One Step Closer' joins the rising Linkin Park cuts as it finds its way back to the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. This time around, the early-career smash reappears in last place, at No. 40. 'The Emptiness Machine' Nears Its First Year Of Linkin Park's half-dozen current placements on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, only 'The Emptiness Machine' has yet to crack a full year on the tally – though it likely will in the coming weeks. 'Numb' stands out as the group's longest-running success, as it recently passed 900 frames on the genre-specific roster. Hybrid Theory and From Zero Return Both Hybrid Theory and From Zero return to a trio of U.K.-based charts this week. From Zero, Linkin Park's comeback set that arrived in late 2024, also lives on one other list, while Hybrid Theory, the full-length that brought Linkin Park to global superstardom decades ago, sits on and rises on as many rankings as it rocks back onto. The compilation Papercuts, which arrived only a few months before From Zero, lifts on two rankings, while Meteora ascends on only the rock tally.

Radiohead's Huge Week On The Charts — And It's All Thanks To One Song
Radiohead is having a fantastic week on the charts in the United Kingdom, where the English rock band hails from. The group has two singles bouncing back onto the nation's most competitive songs ranking, and interest in its Grammy-winning discography is growing as it delivers only its second-ever live set, Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003–2009). Three different albums by Radiohead appear on various charts in the U.K. at the moment. All three titles make a home on at least a trio tallies apiece, with one managing to live on four – and they're all growing in popularity again. OK Computer Stands Out as Radiohead's Biggest Winner OK Computer jumps to No. 66 on the Official Albums chart this week, while also soaring into the top 20 on the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales lists. The decades-old alternative set even returns to the top 10 on the Official Vinyl Albums ranking. The Bends and In Rainbows Both The Bends and In Rainbows can also be found on the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts, though OK Computer is the only Radiohead project to find space on the all-encompassing albums roster. The Bends is the bigger winner of the two, with both sets living inside the top 40 on all lists. 'Let Down' Pushes Radiohead's Catalog North Radiohead's entire charting discography is climbing largely thanks to the virality of 'Let Down.' That album cut, originally featured on OK Computer, became a hit seemingly out of nowhere earlier this year after spearing like wildfire on TikTok. The continued success of the track has propelled OK Computer higher and reignited interest in all things Radiohead, lifting more than just OK Computer itself. 'Let Down' and 'Creep' Return 'Let Down' and 'Creep' — two of Radiohead's most successful songs — both return to the Official Singles chart. This time around, 'Let Down' reenters the tally at No. 88, just a few spots beneath its No. 85 peak, while 'Creep,' arguably the band's most familiar composition, lands at No. 95. Both tracks are also growing on the Official Singles Streaming chart, lifting to Nos. 62 and 68, respectively.
