Linkin Park Hits A Milestone On The Albums Chart For Only The Second Time

Linkin Park has released albums for more than a quarter-century, though the band did take a several-year hiatus following the death of frontman Chester Bennington. While the group has produced eight traditional studio albums, along with several live collections, compilations, and other projects, it's the earliest efforts that remain fan favorites and charting successes to this day.
One of the hard rock outfit's oldest releases continues to find space on several Billboard charts, more than two decades after it was first released – and this week, it helps the group reach an impressive milestone for only the second time.
Meteora Hits 200 Weeks on the Billboard 200
Linkin Park's sophomore full-length Meteora has now spent exactly 200 weeks on the Billboard 200. This time around, the collection lifts ever so slightly to No. 142, as it moved 10,350 equivalent units, according to Luminate. Almost 10% of that sum were pure purchases, which is an impressive figure for a decades-old project.
Two Linkin Park Albums Have Managed This Feat
Linkin Park has now seen two titles spend at least 200 weeks on the Billboard 200. Hybrid Theory became the first to do so years ago, and it continues as the rock band's longest-charting success. That set, which sits more than a dozen spaces above Meteora, is up to 367 stays on the tally.
Meteora Climbs on Billboard 200, But Falls Elsewhere
While Meteora climbs one spot on the Billboard 200, it falls on the other four rankings it's present on this week. The 2003 project also lands on the Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Alternative Albums, and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, appearing at Nos. 11, 20, and 36, respectively, but those numbers are down from last frame.
Hybrid Theory Still Leads Across the Board
Hybrid Theory is beating Meteora on all four of the rankings where both efforts appear, but only slightly. That introductory project declines on the quartet of tallies, but still manages to live inside the top 10 on the Top Hard Rock Albums list.
Meanwhile, Linkin Park's greatest hits compilation Papercuts falls to an even lower placement, landing at No. 25 – in last place – on the Top Hard Rock Albums ranking.

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!
