Linkin Park Returns To No. 1 In America With Its First Smash
Linkin Park's 'In the End' returns to No. 1 on Billboard's Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, marking ... More its eighth nonconsecutive week at the top. TOKYO - JULY 07: Chester Bennington of Linkin Park performs on stage at the Tokyo leg of the Live Earth series of concerts, at Makuhari Messe, Chiba on July 7, 2007 in Tokyo, Japan. Launched by former US Vice President Al Gore to combat Global Warming, the concert is one of a series taking place over a 24-hour period on July 7 across seven continents. (Photo by) Just a few weeks ago, Linkin Park re-released its album From Zero, turning it into a deluxe edition with several new tunes. The following week, that set bolted up a number of Billboard charts, but it didn't take long for its popularity to dwindle once more. A handful of tracks taken from the expanded set are still present on tallies in the United States, even as the full-length all but disappears. Even with new music now available, some of the hard rock group's earliest smashes are proving to be unbeatable — and the one that started it all for the outfit reigns supreme once more. "In the End" bolts from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart in America this week, officially becoming the most-streamed hard rock track in the nation once again. With another stint at No. 1 to its credit, "In the End" has now led the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart for eight nonconsecutive weeks. It first reached the peak position in October of last year, having originally arrived in June 2020. Both "In the End" and "Numb" landed on the ranking at the same time, and the two have now spent just over five years on this chart. "In the End" has spent more time at No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally than the group's other two champions combined. "The Emptiness Machine" – the lead single taken from 2024's From Zero – managed five frames leading the charge, while "Lost" earned the band its first leader in February 2023, holding for just one frame. "In the End" is becoming hugely successful again across several of Billboard's genre-specific rosters. In addition to jumping to No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, the track also reenters the Alternative Streaming Songs list at No. 24, after what must be a noticeable uptick in plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and many others. The track also manages to climb on both of Billboard's worldwide lists, lifting just a few spots on the two rosters. Five tunes by Linkin Park appear on at least one Billboard chart apiece this week. "Up From the Bottom," one of the major focuses from the From Zero deluxe edition, finds a home on half a dozen tallies. While it continues to rule a trio of airplay lists, it is largely falling when it comes to other forms of consumption.

Linkin Park's New Single Brings A Recent Fan-Favorite Back To The Charts
Linkin Park's 'Up from the Bottom' and new single 'Unshatter' both chart in the U.K. as excitement ... More grows for the upcoming deluxe edition of From Zero.

Broadcasted live on FOX. (Photo byfor iHeartRadio) Getty Images for iHeartRadio Later this month, Linkin Park will release the deluxe edition of its latest album, From Zero . The full-length arrived in the fall of 2024 and produced a number of huge hits, especially in the rock world. The recently reformed band — which now includes new members and a female lead singer alongside Mike Shinoda, replacing the late Chester Bennington — is preparing to drop an expanded version of the set, which fans seem to be excited about. Two singles have already been pushed from the project. As the latest from Linkin Park arrives, the previous tune, shared just a few weeks back, returns and becomes a bestseller again, as the group's following continues to get hyped for this highly-anticipated deluxe collection. On March 27, Linkin Park shared the single "Up from the Bottom" to promote the upcoming deluxe edition of From Zero . The tune was a quick success across a number of rankings in the United Kingdom, but it didn't hold on for very long. The latest cut from the forthcoming set, "Unshatter," debuts on a number of charts in the country this week, and as it does, "Up from the Bottom" returns — but only just barely. The track reenters both the Official Singles Downloads chart at No. 92 and the Official Singles Sales roster at No. 95. Interestingly, it declines by one space on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, despite what may be an increase in pure purchases. 'Up from the Bottom' was a Fast Top 10 "Up from the Bottom" debuted inside the top 10 on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts in April. After launching in the uppermost tier, it dropped just outside the top 40 on both lists the following frame, and then it vanished. Now, all the excitement around "Unshatter" has brought it back for a third stay on the non-style-specific lists – if only for a moment. "Unshatter" manages to debut on the same two purchase-centric tallies, although it doesn't enjoy the same warm welcome as its predecessor. The second track from the deluxe edition of From Zero launches at No. 26 on both the Official Rock & Metal Singles and Official Singles Downloads charts. It also comes in just one spot beneath that position on the Official Singles Sales ranking. Linkin Park fills five spots on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week. Both From Zero deluxe edition tunes appear, along with one track from the standard version, "The Emptiness Machine," which finds a home at No. 14. Classic Linkin Park cuts "Numb" and "Faint" are still going strong as well, with "Numb" remaining inside the top 10 as it approaches 900 weeks on this list.

Linkin Park's Earn Another Instant Bestseller With New Single
New single 'Unshatter' becomes another U.K. hit for Linkin Park, as the band continues to promote ... More the deluxe edition of its album From Zero. MONTERREY, MEXICO - FEBRUARY 5: performs during a concert as part of the 'From Zero World Tour' at Estadio Banorte on February 5, 2025 in Monterrey, Mexico. (Photo by Medios) Getty Images Linkin Park returned in glorious form in late 2024 with a new album, From Zero. The release marked a major comeback for the group, which had spent years mourning the loss of frontman Chester Bennington, who died by suicide. For its new chapter, the band hired new musicians and a new lead singer to join forces with Mike Shinoda, keeping the core identity of both a rapper and a singer/screamer intact. Months after From Zero arrived and made a major impact on charts around the world, the group is headed toward a deluxe reissue of the project. This week, the latest single from that expanded edition has become a bestseller in the United Kingdom, as fans become more and more excited for even more new tunes from the rock outfit. 'Unshatter' Earns Healthy Debuts on the Charts Linkin Park's latest tune 'Unshatter' opens on a trio of rankings across the Atlantic. Coincidentally, it manages to start in almost the exact same position on all three tallies at once, missing out by just one spot on one of them. 'Unshatter' launches at No. 26 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Rock & Metal Singles charts. It narrowly misses repeating that feat on the Official Singles Sales tally, where it comes in at No. 27. Linkin Park's 'Unshatter' is a Big Chart Success 'Unshatter' adds to Linkin Park's already impressive list of wins across all three rankings. The tune marks the group's thirty-second placement on the Official Singles Sales chart, the most competitive of the three. The band is now up to 41 wins on the downloads roster and 61 placements on the Official Rock & Metal Singles list. That latter accumulation must be one of the most impressive among all rock acts in the U.K. 'Unshatter' Follows 'Up From the Bottom' 'Unshatter' arrives just a few weeks after Linkin Park began officially promoting the deluxe edition of From Zero, which is expected to arrive on May 16. The expanded release has already been supported by the previous track 'Up From the Bottom.' That cut became a quick hit across all three rankings where 'Unshatter' now debuts. In fact, in its fifth frame on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, 'Up From the Bottom' drops one space to make room for 'Unshatter.' It sat at No. 26 last time around and has now dipped to No. 27, as the cuts land side-by-side.

Linkin Park Is Only Competing With Its Own Record On The Charts
Linkin Park continues to prove its dominance at rock radio decades after the first hit was produced. That's a huge accomplishment, as so many acts that score big successes on the radio waves don't hold on for long – and they usually can't continue to land massive smashes more than 20 years later. Thanks to the incredible success of "Up From the Bottom," Linkin Park not only scores a new No. 1 on a very important ranking, but the band even manages to break two of its own records. "Up From the Bottom" rises from No. 4 to No. 1 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, giving Linkin Park another major radio smash. The track fronts the upcoming deluxe edition of From Zero, the full-length project the band released in the fall of 2024. That album marked Linkin Park's first major comeback effort following the death of frontman Chester Bennington, and it was an immediate commercial triumph. Now, with "Up From the Bottom" racing to the top, the group extends the winning streak it kicked off several months ago. With "Up From the Bottom," Linkin Park claims its eighth No. 1 on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. Even more impressive than the total number is the fact that the new smash becomes the group's fifth consecutive leader on the ranking. Linkin Park previously (and fairly recently) topped the chart with "Lost," "Friendly Fire," "The Emptiness Machine," and "Heavy Is the Crown." That four-single streak had already set a new record for the most consecutive No. 1s on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. Now, the band extends its own stretch with a fifth straight win. In addition to collecting another No. 1, Linkin Park also breaks yet another of its own records thanks to how quickly "Up From the Bottom" storms the summit. The tune bolts to No. 1 in just its third week on the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. That's a shockingly short period for any composition to reach the top. Radio-based rankings typically move much more slowly, as they are powered by DJ and programmer decisions rather than fan-driven consumption. Linkin Park almost ties its own all-time record here. Last year, the group's single "The Emptiness Machine," the lead offering from the original From Zero release, raced to No. 1 in just its second week on the tally. That cut ended up leading the list for 15 weeks.
