Linkin Park's Billboard Success

Linkin Park has achieved remarkable success on the Billboard charts. They have amassed six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, with Collision Course being a significant milestone. This 2004 collab with Jay-Z was influential in breaking down genre barriers. The band has also had three top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "In the End" which reached No. 2 in 2002, "What I've Done" at No. 7 in 2007, and "New Divide" at No. 6 in 2009. Their musical influence and chart dominance are truly remarkable.

Linkin Park's latest album, From Zero, released in November, was their first with vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain following the tragic loss of vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017 and the departure of drummer Rob Bourdon the following year. Despite these challenges, the album debuted and peaked at No. 2, showcasing the band's enduring popularity and talent.
