Linkin Park Perform ‘In the End', ‘Numb' at UEFA Final in Munich
Linkin Park delivered a four-song set ahead of the UEFA Champions League final in Munich on Saturday night (June 1), continuing their return to the live stage with performances of 'The Emptiness Machine,' 'In the End,' 'Numb,' and 'Heavy Is the Crown.' Taking the stage at Munich Football Arena just before kickoff between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan, the band's appearance served as a high-profile preview of their upcoming world tour, which supports their latest album, From Zero, released last year. More from Billboard Cynthia Erivo Opens Up About Her Queerness: 'The More Yourself You Are, The Better Understanding Starts to Happen' The Roots Apologize to Fans After First Day of 2025 Roots Picnic Marred By Long Lines: 'Safety Will Always Be Our Number 1 Priority' Rod Stewart Postpones Las Vegas Colosseum Residency Gig Due to Unspecified Illness The set marked another major step in the band's evolution following the addition of vocalist Emily Armstrong, who officially joined the lineup last September. Armstrong's debut sparked conversation online, including public commentary from the late Chester Bennington's family and discussion around her past professional affiliations. From Zero is Linkin Park's first studio album since 2017's One More Light, released just months before Bennington's death. At the band's first show with their new lineup last year, co-founder Mike Shinoda addressed the crowd, saying, 'We are thrilled to be back out here. It is not about erasing the past. It is about starting this new chapter into the future and coming out here for each and every one of you.' Shinoda expanded on that sentiment during a guest appearance on The Tonight Show, explaining, 'I think the important thing for us is that we never set out to, like, 'Let's bring the band back' or 'Let's find a singer.' That was never our intention or our goal.' The album debuted at No. 1 on all of the above charts last November, except for the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales, where it arrived at No. 2. Following its deluxe reissue with additional tracks on May 16, From Zero recently returned to Top Album Sales (at No. 5), Top Hard Rock Albums (No. 4), Vinyl Albums (No. 8), Top Alternative Albums (No. 9), Top Rock Albums (No. 15), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No. 17), Indie Store Album Sales (No. 17) and the Billboard 200 (No. 71) charts dated May 31. The North American leg of Linkin Park's upcoming tour is set to kick off July 29 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. The run will include stops across the U.S. through August and September, including a major date at Dodger Stadium with Queens of the Stone Age, before it wraps Sept. 24 in Seattle.

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. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 17: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (L-R) Colin Brittain, Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn 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) 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.

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.
