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.

Beyoncé skips '16 Carriages,' flying car again Night 1 in D.C.: Are they permanently cut?
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter delivered another dazzling performance during her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area, keeping safety at the forefront by once again cutting a hit song and signature flying car stunt from the show. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C. The concert marked Beyoncé's first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is also set to perform on July 7. During the Fourth of July show, Beyoncé once again skipped her single "16 Carriages" after she faced a technical mishap during her first concert in her hometown of Houston. During the H-Town opener, which took place at NRG stadium on June 28, Beyoncé was forced to pause the show because a technical glitch caused the vehicle to tilt midair. She told everyone to "stop" repeatedly before being safely lowered and landing the car among the audience. There were no injuries. At the following Houston show, Beyoncé cut "16 Carriages" from the set list completely and avoided flying in the air in a car. During Thursday's show, fans wondered if she would bring back the song and the stunt. However, that question was soon answered. One fan wrote, "Yeah she's off that car for the rest of the tour, which means no more 16 Carriages? 😭💔" As fans know, Beyoncé first announced the eighth studio album in February 2024 during a surprise Super Bowl commercial, releasing singles "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." The tunes quickly gained popularity ahead of the album's full release March 29, 2024. It's unclear if Beyoncé will perform the song in any variation for the rest of the tour. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.

Beyoncé lights up Washington with dazzling Fourth of July ‘Cowboy Carter' show
Forget fireworks. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lit up the nation's capital this Fourth of July with her first "Cowboy Carter" concert in the Washington, D.C.-area. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her July Fourth show at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland — five miles east of Washington, D.C — around 8:43 p.m local time. The concert marked her first of two shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. She is set to perform at the stadium again on July 7. "Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Today is all about freedom," she said, opening the show in an American flag floor-length coat over a matching bodysuit with sparkly fringe boots and a white cowboy hat. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her "Cowboy Carter" tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her shows have been filled with family, fashion, different music genres, and most notably country music and cultural commentary. The July Fourth show was no different. However, the added backdrop of the holiday made for an especially significant night — especially given the the messages and motifs pertaining to country music, America's complex past and its ongoing cultural reckoning. "The concept of Beyoncé having a show on the 4th of July in Washington D.C. performing, her album about celebrating Black Americanism… ICONIC," one fan wrote on X. And the electric energy and holiday spirit was kept alive throughout the entire night. Even a SirDavis whiskey bottle was seen dressed to match the theme. The tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. And she continued to serve during the D.C.-area opener. Of course, Beyoncé first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26.
