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.

Tech that's supposed to take CO2 out of the atmosphere is falling far short of expectations.
Microsoft, TikTok, and other big names have signed deals with Climeworks, a company developing technologies to filter CO2 out of the air, as a way to try to clean up some of their planet-heating pollution. But Climeworks hasn't even been able to capture enough CO2 to offset its own carbon footprint yet. The climate tech company announced layoffs as it faces ' a challenging time ' — including uncertainty around the future of its projects in the US.

LG LEADS THE WAY IN ECO-FRIENDLY COOLING: INNOVATIONS DESIGNED TO SAVE THE PLANET
Cutting-edge technology and sustainable design combine in LG's air conditioning solutions, offering consumers a comfortable and environmentally responsible way to beat the heat Dubai, May, 2025 – Demonstrating its unwavering commitment to a greener and more sustainable future, LG Electronics (LG) continues to deliver innovative residential air conditioning (AC) solutions that will make you forget that it's summer outside. By prioritizing energy efficiency, eco-friendly design, and advanced technologies, LG simultaneously empowers consumers to significantly reduce their environmental impact while enjoying personalized comfort within their homes. LG believes that sustainability and comfort are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary goals, where the company's dedication to developing eco-conscious AC solutions reflects a broader vision of creating a better future for generations to come. This commitment is evident in the advanced features and thoughtful engineering integrated into every LG cooling unit. One of the key innovations driving LG's eco-friendly approach is the DUAL Inverter Compressor; groundbreaking technology that delivers exceptional energy efficiency, resulting in energy savings of up to 65% compared to conventional ACs.

LG's commitment to sustainability extends beyond energy efficiency to encompass the entire product lifecycle, prioritizing the use of eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes, minimizing environmental impact from production to disposal. Add to that LG's ThinQ ap, which provides users with valuable insights into their energy consumption patterns, empowering them to make informed decisions and to optimize their AC usage for maximum efficiency. The inclusion of Gold Fin™ corrosion resistance, too, enhances the lifespan of LG AC units, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste. Underscoring environmental responsibility even further, LG utilizes R410a refrigerant – which boasts a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to traditional refrigerants, minimizing its impact on the environment – in its AC systems. LG ACs also meet and, in fact, exceed various energy efficiency standards and certifications, assuring consumers that they are investing in products that are both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
