Linkin Park Returns To No. 1 In America With Its First Smash

Just a few weeks ago, Linkin Park re-released its album From Zero, turning it into a deluxe edition with several new tunes. The following week, that set bolted up a number of Billboard charts, but it didn’t take long for its popularity to dwindle once more.

A handful of tracks taken from the expanded set are still present on tallies in the United States, even as the full-length all but disappears. Even with new music now available, some of the hard rock group’s earliest smashes are proving to be unbeatable — and the one that started it all for the outfit reigns supreme once more.

“In the End” Surges Back to No. 1

“In the End” bolts from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart in America this week, officially becoming the most-streamed hard rock track in the nation once again. With another stint at No. 1 to its credit, “In the End” has now led the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart for eight nonconsecutive weeks. It first reached the peak position in October of last year, having originally arrived in June 2020.

Both “In the End” and “Numb” landed on the ranking at the same time, and the two have now spent just over five years on this chart.

“In the End” Outperforms Other Linkin Park Leaders

“In the End” has spent more time at No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally than the group’s other two champions combined. “The Emptiness Machine” – the lead single taken from 2024’s From Zero – managed five frames leading the charge, while “Lost” earned the band its first leader in February 2023, holding for just one frame.

“In the End” Is Climbing Multiple Rankings

“In the End” is becoming hugely successful again across several of Billboard’s genre-specific rosters. In addition to jumping to No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, the track also reenters the Alternative Streaming Songs list at No. 24, after what must be a noticeable uptick in plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, iHeartRadio, and many others. The track also manages to climb on both of Billboard’s worldwide lists, lifting just a few spots on the two rosters.

Five Linkin Park Tracks are Currently Charting

Five tunes by Linkin Park appear on at least one Billboard chart apiece this week. “Up From the Bottom,” one of the major focuses from the From Zero deluxe edition, finds a home on half a dozen tallies. While it continues to rule a trio of airplay lists, it is largely falling when it comes to other forms of consumption.
