Linkin Park Blocked From A Landmark No. 1 Hit By Two Hard Rock Stars
Linkin Park recently released a deluxe version of its comeback album From Zero, which arrived on May 16. The expanded set, which bolts up the Billboard charts this week thanks to a surge in sales and streams, features three new tracks, though only one had not been previously shared.
Following the full-length project dropping as a complete effort, its one brand new cut, 'Let You Fade,' debuts on a number of rankings this week. The tune nearly grants the hard rockers another No. 1, but two other stars keep the band from the top spot.
'Let You Fade' launches at No. 2 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. According to Luminate, in its first full tracking frame of availability, the track sold just under 1,600 copies.
The song is held from the summit by 'God Is a Weapon,' the new collaboration between Falling in Reverse and Marilyn Manson. That tune opens at No. 1 on the same tally and beats Linkin Park's latest by roughly 500 pure purchases.
'Let You Fade' marks Linkin Park's thirty-second top 10 hit on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. It would have been the group's landmark fifteenth No. 1, but for now, the band will have to settle for a close second — just shy of the summit.
The new track is one of several Linkin Park cuts to narrowly miss leading the tally. As it arrives, it joins fellow fan favorites like 'What I've Done,' 'Lost in the Echo,' 'Wastelands,' and 'More the Victim,' all of which peaked at No. 2 over the years.
Manson earns his fourth No. 1 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart as 'God Is a Weapon' debuts. Falling in Reverse, meanwhile, secures its milestone tenth leader. While Linkin Park doesn't add to its count this time, it's worth noting that the Grammy-winning band has already accrued as many No. 1s as both of those chart-toppers combined.

Linkin Park's Earliest Albums Remain The Band's Biggest — Even Decades Later
Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory and Meteora climb Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums chart, while newer ... More release Papercuts trails behind at No. 22. AUSTRALIA - OCTOBER 12: Photo of LINKIN PARK; Linkin Park, Livid Festival, Melbourne - Australia (Photo by Martin Philbey/Redferns) Linkin Park appears across a variety of Billboard albums rankings this week, with several titles charting at the same time. That's not unusual for one of the most successful acts in the hard rock genre, though some fans may be surprised to learn that the group's most successful projects at the moment are its earliest releases, not its most recent. Linkin Park's comeback full-length From Zero, which arrived in the fall of 2024, is nowhere to be found on any tally in the United States. Papercuts, which arrived just months prior, is only present on one ranking. Meanwhile, the group's first two albums are riding high, though not uniformly. Linkin Park manages to push three distinct projects north on the same chart at the same time, as consumption of the Grammy-winning act's catalog continues to grow. Linkin Park Fills a Trio of Spaces The Top Hard Rock Albums chart is the only Billboard list where Linkin Park occupies a trio of spaces. Hybrid Theory, Meteora, and Papercuts manage not only to find space on the ranking of the most consumed hard rock collections in the U.S., but also to rise from where they sat last frame. Linkin Park's debut full-length Hybrid Theory leaps from No. 9 to No. 7. Follow-up Meteora returns to the top 10, pushing up two spaces and settling at No. 9. Papercuts increases its standing by three spots, landing at No. 22. Papercuts Is the Newest of the Three Releases Between the three, Papercuts is the newest, as it was only released in 2024. Since then, it has racked up 63 stays on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart – significantly fewer than the 350-plus that both Meteora and Hybrid Theory have managed. All three bestselling titles have spent time at No. 1 in the past. Hybrid Theory and Meteora Continue While Papercuts is only present on the Top Hard Rock Albums list, Hybrid Theory and Meteora can also be located on the Billboard 200, Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts. Hybrid Theory is a non-mover on the Billboard 200 and the Top Alternative Albums list, while Meteora declines slightly on the all-encompassing ranking of the biggest full-lengths and EPs in the country. Otherwise, Linkin Park's music is largely on the rise, at least when it comes to albums – though the group's singles that still find space are also largely on the downswing.

Linkin Park's Breakout Single Brings The Band To A Special Landmark
Linkin Park's 'In the End' reaches 100 weeks on the Billboard Global 200 and continues leading Hard ... More Rock Streaming Songs in the U.S., decades after its release. Chester Bennington of Linkin Park performs during Ozzfest 2001 at Shoreline Amphitheatre on June 29, 2001 in Mountain View, California. (Photo by) Linkin Park's 'In the End' became a worldwide hit almost a quarter century ago. The hard rock tune crossed over and was played on pop radio, which helped it become the group's biggest hit to date and the kind that turned the band into household superstars. Decades later, and after multiple album releases and dozens of singles, 'In the End' remains a staple in any rock lover's rotation and, to this day, a hit all around the world. "In the End" Rises on the Billboard Global 200 'In the End' inches up one spot to No. 65 on the Billboard Global 200. The cut becomes Linkin Park's first to rack up triple-digit stays on Billboard's ranking of the most consumed songs all around the planet, as it reaches 100 weeks on the tally. Linkin Park likely won't score another 100-week charter for months. 'Numb' is the band's second-longest running win on the Billboard Global 200, and it is up to 66 frames on that list, a figure it adds to this time around as it jumps to No. 111. 'The Emptiness Machine,' the lead single from Linkin Park's comeback album From Zero, has only amassed 36 turns on the Billboard Global 200 – so far – but it already ranks as the group's third-longest charting success. "In the End" Nears Another Milestone 'In the End' can also be found on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., which operates in much the same way as the Billboard Global 200, but excludes any activity generated in America. 'In the End' has spent 98 weeks somewhere between Nos. 1 and 200, so two weeks from now, it will almost surely become the group's first 100-week winner. "In the End" Remains a Hit in America 'In the End' is also a hit specifically in the U.S., not just when looking globally. The track declines slightly on the Alternative Streaming Songs chart, dipping to No. 22, while at the same time leading the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking once more. Linkin Park has ruled that tally 11 times with 'In the End' out of the 264 weeks it has spent somewhere on the roster of the most played hard rock cuts in the nation on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and others.

This handheld fan kept me from fainting at a concert on one of the hottest days of the year — and it's currently 28% off
No one likes a heatwave. I enjoy the sun being out, sure, but I hate it when temperatures reach 30°C / 86°F. It's uncomfortable, and I'm usually sweating buckets at that point. Look, I grew up in India, so I'm used to temperatures reaching 43°C / 109°F, but the heat in the U.K. hits different. Our apartments are designed to trap heat, which is great in the winter but downright awful in the summer. So yes, despite my Indian blood, I do not cope well in the British summer, both indoors and outdoors. However, the thing is, I love attending concerts, and most of them take place outdoors. And when you're amongst thousands of other concert-goers, the heat feels even worse. I had to come up with a solution before I went to see Linkin Park play a sold-out Wembley (I'm aware I have elite music taste), so I bought myself a handheld fan... and it's currently 28% off at Amazon! The Timorn portable handheld fan features up to 100 speeds for various situations, and it's compact enough to slip into your pocket or bag. It's also extremely easy to use with just two buttons! If you're based in the U.S. and aren't looking forward to another week of scorching heat, I'd grab the Timorn 100 Speed Hand Held Mini Fan now, as it's down to just $17 from its retail price of $24. In the U.K., you can grab a handheld fan for the low, low retail price of £16 at Amazon. At its highest speed (100), Timorn's offering is powerful, delivering a maximum wind speed of up to 7m/s. It isn't very loud either, so you can enjoy a meal or still listen to an artist perform their greatest hits without being disturbed. It's also rechargeable, with a single charge lasting up to 10 hours, and if you want more, I'd recommend carrying one of the best power banks for on-the-fly charging. The Jsdoin USB Rechargeable Fan with 5 Speeds is fantastic, and it's powerful enough that when you hold it to your face, the sweat evaporates and you feel refreshed. It can also be angled on a desk for when you're eating food at a table, for example. The Jsdoin 5-speed handheld fan for my British comrades is just as good, if not better. It lasted me the entirety of a four-hour-long concert, an hour-long commute on the subway, and three hours spent eating and drinking too. I then put the fan on charge for two hours and et voilà! I had a full battery ready for the next day. The fan is also extremely comfortable to hold with one hand, as it weighs next to nothing. If you want to get through this heatwave with a bit of style and lots of cooling, I can't think of a better recommendation than a handheld fan — and you can grab one for just $17 / £16 at Amazon. It kept me from fainting (apt, since it was a Linkin Park concert), and it might save you, too!
