Linkin Park Returns To Multiple Charts With Several Of The Band’s Classics

Two Linkin Park Albums Return to Different U.K. Charts

Linkin Park has three albums present on the charts in the U.K. at the moment, and two of them return to at least one tally. Meteora breaks back onto the Official Albums chart – the main ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country – at No. 93. Hybrid Theory mounts a comeback of its own on the Official Albums Streaming list one space lower, reentering that tally at No. 94.

Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory Appears on Five Rankings

Between those two returning favorites, Hybrid Theory is the bigger winner, as it can be found on five rankings this week. Aside from its reentry on the Official Albums Streaming chart, the blockbuster drops on three rosters and holds steady on another.

Hybrid Theory is stationary at No. 87 on the Official Albums chart. The full-length backtracks to Nos. 10, 64 and 64 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums, Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings, respectively.

Linkin Park’s Meteora Lives on Three U.K. Tallies

Meteora takes up space on three U.K. charts this frame, including the Official Albums tally, where it breaks back in at No. 93. On the Official Albums Streaming ranking, the set rises five spaces to No. 85.

The full-length moves in the opposite direction on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. Meteora slips two rungs to No. 27 on the genre-specific roster, where it is nearing 500 weeks, and where it previously reached No. 1 – like most of Linkin Park’s projects.

Linkin Park’s Papercuts Is Still the Band’s Biggest Album

Linkin Park’s highest-ranking album at the moment in the U.K. is a compilation, Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023), which arrived only months before the group reformed with new members and new material. The hits project lives on only a pair of lists – far fewer than either Hybrid Theory or Meteora – but it remains a top 20 success on both of them.

Papercuts nearly breaks back into the top 10 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it improves by one spot and settles just beneath that uppermost space. On the Official Albums ranking – which features 100 slots and currently includes three Linkin Park releases – the compilation dips three positions to No. 18.

Linkin Park Fills Eight Spaces on One Chart

The Official Rock & Metal Singles chart details the 40 most popular individual tracks in those styles, and Linkin Park is often the most successful name on the ranking. That’s true again this week.

The group fills eight spaces on the tally – an enormous showing considering its limited length. Most of those cuts gain ground from where they sat last frame. “Numb” remains Linkin Park’s highest-ranking smash at No. 6, while “Faint,” “What I’ve Done,” “The Emptiness Machine,” “One Step Closer” and “Crawling” all rise. “Somewhere I Belong” is the only current hit to decline, while the band’s lowest-ranking cut, “Bleed It Out,” reenters at No. 37.

Here are all of Linkin Park’s hits on this week’s Official Rock & Metal Singles chart.

• No. 6 – “Numb”
• No. 11 – “Faint”
• No. 14 – “Somewhere I Belong”
• No. 15 – “What I’ve Done”
• No. 23 – “The Emptiness Machine”
• No. 31 – “One Step Closer”
• No. 35 – “Crawling”
• No. 37 – “Bleed It Out”
