Linkin Park's Debut Album Soars As Its Comeback Set Falls
Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory climbs on three U.K. charts this week, while From Zero falls following ... More its deluxe edition debut. MUNICH, GERMANY - MAY 31: Emily Armstrong, Lead Singer of Linkin Park, preforms, as a pyrotechnical display takes place prior to the UEFA Champions League Final 2025 between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano at Munich Football Arena on May 31, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) Last week, From Zero soared on charts around the world. The album, which marked a comeback for the hard rock outfit Linkin Park, surged thanks to the release of a deluxe edition that included several new tunes. Fans rushed to buy and stream the set, and that collective enthusiasm helped push the collection upward. But the honeymoon didn't last long, and From Zero begins to fall. In stark contrast, Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park's first full-length, proves its undying popularity once again. The title appears on three charts in the United Kingdom this week, climbing on all of them as sales seem to be increasing meaningfully. This week, Hybrid Theory returns to the top 10 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, pushing from No. 13 to No. 8. At the same time, it jumps from No. 66 on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales tallies to Nos. 59 and 61, respectively. Hybrid Theory is one of four albums by Linkin Park to find space on the U.K. charts this frame, but it's the only title that appears on more than one ranking and also manages to rise. Meteora, its follow-up, is also growing in stature. At the moment, Meteora pushes more than 10 spaces on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, landing at No. 27. However, unlike Hybrid Theory, that's the only list where the two-decade-old effort can currently be found. From Zero occupies the most lists across the Atlantic among all of Linkin Park's current wins, but it's falling on all of them. The 2024 release, powered by its 2025 expansion, dips most dramatically on the Official Albums chart, declining from No. 23 to No. 89. It also slips outside the top 40 on the Official Album Downloads chart, but it manages to remain within that competitive region on the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Rock & Metal Albums tallies, despite tumbling. Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000 – 2023 can also be found on a pair of rosters – two of the same ones as From Zero, which it followed by only about a year. That compilation of Linkin Park's most famous smashes steps backward on both the Official Albums chart and the Official Albums Streaming ranking.

Linkin Park's Catalog Grows Ahead Of An Exciting Re-Release
Linkin Park charts four albums in the U.K. this week, with From Zero and Hybrid Theory landing on ... More three charts each and Papercuts leading overall. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 17: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (L-R) Emily Armstrong, Joe Hahn, Mike Shinoda, and Colin Brittain of Linkin Park attend the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 17, 2025. Broadcasted live on FOX. (Photo byfor iHeartRadio) Next week, Linkin Park's From Zero will likely surge on charts around the world. The rock band dropped the deluxe edition of the collection on Friday (May 16), and fans are already streaming the full release again — and some are sure to purchase another copy as ell. The title was supported by several new singles, including "Up From the Bottom" and "Unshatter," both of which became at least minor global hits. In anticipation of the expanded edition, several standouts from Linkin Park's catalog are already climbing in the United Kingdom, and the coming frame could be even more impressive for the Grammy-winning act. This week, four of Linkin Park's albums appear on U.K. musical rankings. All but one of them are featured on multiple tallies, and two are tied with three placements apiece. In every case, the band's efforts are ascending. While From Zero is not currently the group's top-performing title, it is tied with Hybrid Theory — Linkin Park's debut full-length — for the greatest number of appearances. Both sets are featured on three tallies each: the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, as well as the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. On the latter, both projects are living inside the top 10. Hybrid Theory rebounds from No. 13 to No. 10, while From Zero climbs from No. 10 to No. 8. Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000–2023 currently gives Linkin Park its highest placements overall. It's the only release of the bunch to appear on the Official Albums chart — the all-genre top 100 list of the most popular full-lengths and EPs in the U.K. On that tally, it holds at No. 25. While sales appear to be powering From Zero and Hybrid Theory, streaming activity is fueling the ongoing success of Papercuts. The compilation is the lone title from the band present on the Official Albums Streaming list, where it bumps up one spot to No. 17. Linkin Park's sophomore effort Meteora may be present on only one ranking, but it still makes meaningful progress. The early-career win leaps four rungs to No. 33 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, which ranks the bestselling titles in those styles alone.

Linkin Park Scores Several Top-Selling Albums As Classics And New Titles Return
Linkin Park charts four albums in the U.K. this week, with Papercuts holding steady and Hybrid ... More Theory, Meteora, and From Zero all reentering. HAMBURG, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 22: (EDITOR'S NOTE: alternative crop) Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong of Linkin Park perform at Barclays Arena on September 22, 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. (Photo by Joern Pollex/Redferns) This week on the music charts in the United Kingdom, Linkin Park sees four albums appear on at least one tally apiece. All but one of them land on multiple lists. The fact that the group — which is only actively promoting one of the efforts — sees so many titles appear on the rosters is impressive. What's even more notable this time around is that all but one of those projects reappears. Some of them bounce back onto multiple tallies, while one breaks back in on just a single list. The consumption of Linkin Park's music is always high, but with Record Store Day releases disappearing from the weekly rankings in the U.K., there's more room for holdovers like the hard rock outfit's continued and constant bestsellers. Among all three of Linkin Park's comebacks, the group's most recent full-length is the big winner. From Zero — which returned the musicians from a hiatus of more than half a decade — reenters both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts at No. 43. In a bit of coincidence and yet another show of neverending popularity, Hybrid Theory — the full-length that started it all — also manages to reappear on both the general sales ranking and the list that concerns itself only with the bestselling titles on CD, vinyl, and cassette. Hybrid Theory lands on those two tallies once more at No. 60. It's not terribly uncommon for the same album to appear in the same position on these two rosters…though it's far more frequently seen that efforts come in just a few spaces apart and don't land in the exact spot on multiple lists, due to a variety of sales factors. Meteora is Linkin Park's third and final comeback on the U.K. rankings this time around. It breaks back onto the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart in last place at No. 40. The title is also celebrating a major milestone, as it reaches 400 weeks somewhere on the U.K.'s ranking of the bestselling full-lengths and EPs in those styles. Linkin Park fills a trio of spots on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart this week. As Meteora returns, both From Zero and Hybrid Theory bounce back into the top 10. The newest of the bunch jumps from No. 11 to No. 5, while the group's groundbreaking debut full-length bolts from No. 14 to No. 9. In addition to all of Linkin Park's comebacks, one collection holds on, as even Record Store Day couldn't push it off the charts. Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000–2023 is still present, just as it was last frame, and it appears on two tallies that From Zero, Hybrid Theory and Meteora do not reach. It keeps at No. 29 on the Official Albums chart, a general consumption ranking of the most popular efforts in the country. It also drops just a few spots on the Official Albums Streaming tally, as fans continue to flock to platforms like Spotify to listen to Linkin Park's most successful tunes, which are gathered together on this compilation. The set was released in early 2024, just a few months before the band began promoting From Zero.

Linkin Park Fans Will Never Be Done With The Band's Debut Album
No matter how much time passes or how many new songs emerge, Linkin Park will always be defined, at least in part, by Hybrid Theory. The band's debut full-length not only introduced its nu-metal sound to the world, it helped shape a generation of alternative and hard rock fans. More than two decades after it first arrived, the album is still a regular on Billboard's charts, and this week marks another exciting chapter in its story. Hybrid Theory finds space on five different Billboard rankings this week, which is relatively rare for a project released in 2000. The beloved effort returns to four of those tallies and makes an especially large leap on one more. The collection reappears highest on the Top Alternative Albums list, where it blasts back onto the tally at No. 18. It's not too far behind on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums rosters, returning to those rankings at Nos. 22 and 28, respectively. Hybrid Theory even manages to claw its way back onto the Billboard 200. On the all-genre ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.S., the title finds a home at No. 130. The only Billboard list Hybrid Theory doesn't have to reenter is the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, where it remains a mainstay. This time around, the blockbuster doesn't just hold steady, it jumps. The set lifts from No. 22 to No. 5, charging back into the uppermost tier. Hybrid Theory lands just one rung behind Meteora, the band's sophomore project and longtime companion on these rankings. That effort dips slightly to No. 4, giving Linkin Park two titles inside the top five. According to Luminate, Hybrid Theory shifted 10,700 equivalent units in the U.S. last week. That total includes streaming, sales, and other forms of consumption. Just under 1,500 copies of the album were sold as pure purchases — an impressive number for a full-length that many fans already own, either digitally or physically. Hybrid Theory hasn't just shown up on Billboard's charts from time to time, it's been present on many of them for years. The project has racked up hundreds of weeks on each of the five tallies it currently appears on. It's spent the most time on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, where it's now up to 420 frames and counting. On the Top Rock Albums ranking, it's logged 272 weeks. On the other three lists where it's present, the album has also earned somewhere in the 300-week range, though exact counts vary slightly. Hybrid Theory is one of four Linkin Park albums that show up on at least one Billboard tally this week in the U.S. Its immediate successor Meteora joins it on all five of the same lists. Meanwhile, both Papercuts, the band's recently-released greatest hits compilation, and From Zero, the group's comeback effort, appear on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart only. Hybrid Theory first arrived in October 2000 and introduced the world to hits like 'In the End' and 'Crawling.' Since then, the album has been certified Diamond by the RIAA and become one of the most important rock releases of the twenty-first century.
